YMO Versus The Human League is an EP released in Japan and Asia in April 1993. It was released by Alfa Records and is a collaboration between Japanese electropop/synthpop band Yellow Magic Orchestra and British new wave/synthpop band The Human League. It was the first release by the Human League after the band's abrupt dismissal from its 14-year-long recording contract with Virgin Records 10 months previously. [1]

It features four tracks (taken from Yellow Magic Orchestra , Solid State Survivor and Naughty Boys ). "Behind the Mask" was remixed by Mark Gamble (based on Michael Jackson's version) instead of the Human League. "Kimi Ni Mune Kyun" (Trans: "My Heart Beats, for You (A Holiday Affair)") has new English lyrics written by Philip Oakey and sung by Susan Ann Sulley and Joanne Catherall. The song was later included as a B-side to The Human League's "Tell Me When" in 1994.
