Ryuichi Sakamoto was a Japanese musician, composer, and actor born on January 17, 1952 in Tokyo, Japan. He studied at the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music where he specialized in composition and electronic/ethnic music. Sakamoto began his career in the mid-1970s as a composer, arranger, and producer for popular rock, jazz, and classical artists in Japan. He gained fame as a member of the synth-rock band Yellow Magic Orchestra. Throughout his career, he collaborated with various artists including David Sylvian and appeared in films such as Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence alongside David Bowie.
Sakamoto's musical talent extended to film scores as well. He won an Academy Award for his score to the 1987 film The Last Emperor directed by Bernardo Bertolucci. Additionally, he composed soundtracks for Pedro Almodovar's High Heels and Oliver Stone's Wild Palms. Sakamoto was married to Japanese pianist and singer Akiko Yano with whom he collaborated on some recordings.
Aside from his musical achievements, Ryuichi Sakamoto was also known for being critical of copyright law which he believed to be outdated in the information age. His legacy lives on through his daughter Miu Sakamoto who is also involved in the music industry under the alias Sister M.

Following the release of Nagasaki: Memories Of My Son, Milan continues its collaboration with legendary composer Ryuichi Sakamoto to bring Western audiences his recent scores to Japanese and Korean films, unreleased in Europe and North America. In 2016 Ryuichi Sakamoto composed the music for the Korean thriller Ikari (Rage). Based on the famous novel by Shuichi Yoshida, directed by Sang-il Lee and starring Ken Watanabe, the film tells the story of a grisly unsolved murder that links three seemingly unrelated stories in three different Japanese cities. The film features a beautiful and moody piano-driven score by Ryuichi Sakamoto. Its main theme is unforgettable. This album is a must have for all the fans of Ryuichi Sakamoto and a great opportunity to bring exposure to the less known work of the composer in Japan and Korea.
