"Behind the Mask" is a 1979 song by Japanese synth-pop group Yellow Magic Orchestra. Initially an instrumental written by band member Ryuichi Sakamoto for a 1978 Seiko commercial, the song was elaborated upon with bandmates Haruomi Hosono and Yukihiro Takahashi and lyricist Chris Mosdell for inclusion on Solid State Survivor the following year. The song was later featured on the US release of X∞Multiplies in 1980, which combined tracks from the Japanese version and Solid State Survivor, and was released as a single in the US and UK to promote the album.
