''Philharmony'' is the fourth studio album of Japanese artist Music/HaruomiHosono. It was released in 1982 during his tenure as a member of Music/YellowMagicOrchestra and therefore features other members of the band.
Recorded during an era of intense and prolific production (whether as member/producer of YMO or as the producer of other artists), ''Philharmony'' incorporates elements of technopop and {{Ambient}} music which contrast with Hosono's previous album and draw closer to his work as a commercial composer (such work can be found on a later album of his discography, 1985's ''Coincidental Music''). The minimalistic lyrics abstractly talk about themes such as anxiety, heartbreak... [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking as well as birthdays, Italian funiculars, and exercising]].
One song off the album, "Sports Men", remains a staple of Hosono's concerts and has also been covered by artists such as Music/HotDad and the band Kimono.
