Solid State Survivor is the second album by Japanese electronic music band Yellow Magic Orchestra, released in 1979.

[13][14] Alongside Quincy Jones, Jackson produced a slightly more dance-funk version of the techno classic with additional lyrics, originally intended for his best-selling album Thriller (1982).

Despite the approval of songwriter Sakamoto and lyricist Chris Mosdell, it was eventually removed from the Thriller album due to legal issues with Yellow Magic Orchestra's management.

[4] A chiptune arrangement of the album's third track, "Rydeen", would later appear as the main theme of the 1982 Sega arcade game Super Locomotive.

It was the best selling album on the Oricon LP chart for 1980, beating Chiharu Matsuyama's Kishōtenketsu (起承転結) – Godiego's Magic Monkey (西遊記, Saiyūki) was the best seller in 1979.
