Official remix for Ryuichi Sakamoto
online：

Ryuichi Sakamoto is a Japanese composer, singer, songwriter, record producer, activist, and actor who has pursued a diverse range of styles as a solo artist and as a member of Yellow Magic Orchestra.

Ryuichi Sakamoto’s ravishing and rare solo piano suite ‘BTTB’ is finally issued on vinyl - expanded, reshuffled, and newly replete with liner notes by none other than Haruki Murakami. Trust it’s swoon-worthy stuff.
Originally released in 1998 and hard to get hold of outside of Japan, ‘BTTB’, or ‘Back To The Basics’ is now reissued on 2LP to mark its 20th anniversary. It’s effectively a definitive edition of ‘BTTB’, reshuffled from the original 2LP pressing to also include ‘Energy Flow’ from the BTTB’ maxi-single, (which peaked at No.4 in the Japanese singles charts), as well as the slippery elegance of ‘Reversing’, both on the vinyl album for the first time.
Tech specs aside, this new edition is a sumptuous testament to Sakamoto’s effortlessly natural, poetic evocations of emotion, by then channelling some 30 years work as an arranger of classic synthpop (YMO, collabs with David Sylvian), and seminal soundtracks (Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence; The Last Emperor) into some of his most stripped down yet affective music, hovering on the line between precise, mindful composition and intuitively fluid improvisation.
While the majority of the material here features Sakamoto playing conventionally beautiful solo piano with magnificent highlights on the likes of ‘Opus’, he also extends into experimental, prepared piano on a handful of pieces, both serene and frantic, such as ‘Prelude’, ‘Sonata’ and ‘Uetax’, cannily resonating with Aphex Twin’s prepared piano pieces on ‘Drukqs’, which were released just two years later.

Japanese 14-track CD album featuring a collection of remixes of tracks taken from his 2004 album 'Chasm' with guest contributions from Keigo Oyamada, Steve Jansen, Craig Armstrong, Aoki Takamasa, Skuli Sverrisson and more and includes an exclusive bonus track produced by Haruomi Hosono. Warner. 2006.

Japanese exclusive compilation featuring works from the 80s, including previously unreleased tracks. Midi. 2002.

50 track collection chronicling Sakamoto's brilliant career scoring music for major motion pictures, including Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence, The Last Emperor, The Handmaid's Tale, The Sheltering Sky, High Heels, Little Buddha, Snake Eyes, Love Is The Devil and more. Packaged in a deluxe digipak. Warner Japan. 2002.

Ryuichi Sakamoto's frist album since 'In The Lobby - At GEH In London' (2001). Contains his previously unpublished tracks and a track he wrote for a scientific theme park but was previously not included in any of his albums. 2002.

Ryuichi Sakamoto's traditional & electronic soundtrack to Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence
In 1983, David Bowie and Ryuichi Sakamoto shared the bill in the unforgettable “Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence” by Nagisa Å?shima. Its soundtrack, composed by Ryuichi Sakamoto in an original style, combines classical occidental symphonic composition, traditional Japanese sounds, and experimental electronic music.

In 2015 Ryuichi Sakamoto composed the music for Nagasaki: Memories Of My Son, the latest film by legendary Japanese filmmaker Yoji Yamada whose career has spanned six decades and over 80 films. Yamada is perhaps the last director to have lived through what is now known as the Golden Age of Japanese cinema – a period that gave rise to Kurosawa, Mizoguchi and Ozu. The film tells the story of Nobuko Fukuhara, a mother who has lost he son in the atomic bombing of Nagasaki. It is an intimate character study of Nobuko, whose son begins to communicate to hear as a ghost. Ryuichi Sakamoto was thrilled when Yoji Yamada approached him for this project. This beautiful soundtrack by the legendary composer evokes a nostalgic landscape of the humble everyday life of Japanese people while successfully paying homage to the film music of the Golden Age of Japanese cinema. This album – never released outside of Japan – is a must have for any fans of Ryuichi Sakamoto.
