追悼・坂本龍一
Ryuichi Sakamoto Memorial
🕊🪦

As if I’m ready. Today on Banji Kaicho, we begin a three-chapter retrospective on Ryuichi Sakamoto (1952-2023), one who had posed an immeasurable amount of influence over Japanese music and beyond. Episode I, “Sea and Boy”, tracks down his sideman and composer years around 1975-1979 when he worked excessively with both aspiring and established stars of the changing New Music scene. An undeniable start to an unfading legacy.
