A tremendous artist. His last album called 12 was basically ruminations on mortality given that he was very ill. It is both moving and inspiring and I would encourage people to seek it out. One of the albums of the year so far without a doubt.

Have a listen to some of Yellow Magic Orchestra stuff like Tong Poo, Computer Games and you’ll recognise Behind The Mask
Rain from Last Emperor is fab too

Just revisited his 1986 album, Ongaku Zukan. I had it on cassette - almost wore it out. This track featured Thomas Dolby.
Massive there. Probably their most influential musician: electronic music, pop, jazz, classical, film soundtracks. Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence was one of his many soundtracks. He also released a vocal version with David Sylvian, Forbidden Colours - see post on the first page.

Said earlier that my dad is a big Bowie and Aztec camera fan. Sakamoto produced the letters Dreamland cd.
This track, I’m told by my dad, is the best on the cd and clearly influenced hugely by Sakamoto

Can’t remember what it was but I had a conversation about him on here not long ago and it was likely with @mini-x2There were stories about him having cancer.
Musician Ryuichi Sakamoto battling stage 4 cancer
Musician and composer Ryuichi Sakamoto revealed that he has been battling stage 4 cancer in a monthly magazine released Tuesday.www.japantimes.co.jp
Maybe it was about yellow magic orchestra. Really enjoyed a lot of what he did. He was part of essentially a band that was making music nearly as groundbreaking as Kraftwerk.
He was class.

I’m probably in the minority but I preferred YMO than Kratfwerk

Before he died, Sakamoto did one last concert: just him and the piano in a studio. The resulting documentary is released this week. Ryuichi Sakamoto | Opus
It ends with Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence.

He was composing music for a film before he passed. Although he couldn't finish the whole score he was able to complete four pieces of music which the director ended up using as the soundtrack for the film

I've been meaning to see it. The same director made Still Walking - one of those films I keep thinking about months after watching it.
