WINTER LIVE 1981 is a live album by Yellow Magic Orchestra. It was recorded during the band's 1981 tour of Japan during the winter season of November and December 1981. This is the only YMO live album from the BGM/Technodelic era of the group (there have been video releases of the tour, as well as three songs included in the ONE MORE YMO compilation, but this remains the only full music album to do so); although this album only features one song that wasn't in either BGM or Technodelic (a song from Yellow Magic Orchestra), YMO also performed Technopolis and Rydeen (both from Solid State Survivor), as well as more songs from BGM and Technodelic (Ballet, Seoul Music and Key) and an unreleased song (Loop).
