Yesterday, I heard the passing of Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto. I grew up listening to his music in films (The Last Emperor), animations and video games. As a composition student in a conservatory in China in the 1990s, Ryuichi Sakamoto’s music was like a fresh ingredient to my sonic learning book. This piece is dedicated to him.
RIP, maestro. Thank you for composing all the music that filled my youth with wonder and joy.
一路走好, 坂本龍一先生。感谢您谱写那么多难忘的旋律，使我的少年时代充满幻想与美好。
Japanese musician Ryuichi Sakamoto, member of YMO, dies.
