WORLD TOUR 1980 is a live album by Yellow Magic Orchestra. It was recorded during the band's 1980 international tour (their second after the 1979 Trans Atlantic Tour). This is the only YMO live album to include songs originally released on X∞Multiplies; it also features six songs from YMO members made for other projects and two covers. It was released, with a book with photographs taken during the tour, as both a 2-CD set and a 3-LP set (with 3–5 songs spread over 5 sides), which had a bonus track. "Jiseiki Hirake Kokoro" was originally made for a Fujifilm cassette commercial. It was included in Snakeman Show's self-titled album in mono so that the lyrics, which reference Fujifilm cassettes, could not be understood properly; it was presented here in stereo, and was included in the UC YMO compilation.
All tracks arranged by YMO, except "Maps" & "Jiseiki Hirake Kokoro" by YMO with Kenji Omura, "Zai Kung Tong Boy" & "Tong Poo" by Akiko Yano and "Invention" by the Roland Corporation and Hideki Matsutake.
