Beautiful and stylish man.

Rip lad

Couple months after he's bandmate Yukihiro Takahashi.
Sakamoto was a talented musician and composer
He's stuff with YMO and Sylvian was superb.
Worked with some people over the years and won 2 Oscars I believe
Rest easy

A real pioneer and proper legend of electronic music

RIP. Some may call this sacrilege, but his music even influenced our very own sub-culture in Sunderland. Those of a certain vintage will recognise this.

 

[OOOSH YEAH]

Why did I think he had died last year? Was there a news story about him on here not long ago?

Are you not confusing him with Vangelis?

 

[Son of Stan]

Oh no. I was obsessed with the music for Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence when it came out.
