      I heard that Merry Christmas Mr Lawerence theme song right before my friend died. I didn't know who to turn to and thought the only people who could understand would be the soldiers. Cos they had their friends die all the time. So I watched the ww2 documentaries. I heard one nurses in stationed in Africa had wrote in her dairy "we all cry in private, but never in front of the boys". So I always I had to hold back my tears in front of my friend. When she died was the first time I cried.

    My wife and I were very fortunate enough to see Ryuichi play a solo concert in London almost 12 years ago now. The audience (mostly Japanese) were so polite and courteous throughout. You could hear a pin drop. Not a single cough or sneeze, nobody getting up to go and get a drink etc. Amazing experience. Met him afterwards and he was such a gentleman.

    I first heard Mr. Sakamoto’s music when I was at the lowest point. His music, Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence, took me in a daydream and allowed me to wash my loneliness with tears. And this is what I love about him as an artist, he truly can transcend emotions beyond time and space. Thank you for thinking of us Mr. Sakamoto.

    • @johnweinberger128

      His music has haunted me since merry Christmas mr Lawrence came out. It was the last movie I saw before I went to navy boot camp, so for 38 years it's been in me. I want it played at my funeral. That's how much I love it.

    The news of Mr. Sakamoto's departure were very sad to me. I got to get in touch with his music as far as four years now, and although the time's not that much, it's enough to make it so sad, to find out he's not with us anymore. To think he's been working on his music until this very year, and to remember every single person that happened to trace their inspiration from such a great musician... Truly someone that not only could be rightfully called the sound of postmodern Japan, but also the sound of many nations. Wherever he may be, he will always be missed.

    天上又多了一顆星星。 「人的一生中所剩的時間每一天都在減少,真實的地生活著,做真實的音樂,不對自己說謊,還有不要忘記每天看月亮。 」坂本龍一的人生哲學。 從「末代皇帝」這部電影開始,就成了坂本龍一的粉絲,他的樂曲總是能打動著最深層的心靈。 前陣子, 重新看了「末代皇帝」,雖然已經看過許多次, 每每回看,還是深深吸引著我的目光。
    到了某個年紀或是經歷了某些事情,會的的確確感受到人生的短暫。人生要累積的應該不是外貌、數字、名與利,更多的是,一顆充滿智慧的心。 既然我們⋯什麼都帶不走,就多留下一些美好的事物、樂章給這世界。
    感謝您所留給我們的一切,願ㄧ代音樂大師,坂本龍一,ㄧ路好走。

    I’ve had the opportunity of meeting working and pretty much living with him. To this day whenever I hear a solo piano I cannot help but to think of this man. The time I spend although at the time it seemed long but was actually way to short. Once his music was in me it was in to stay and to this day everything musically from the time spent with him till now touches me to the depths of my soul. I once had the privilege of being with him when he was composing the music for
    ‘The last emperor’ I was in Tokyo to work on an opera he composed.
    He left to go to China to record and I’ll never forget him coming back to the rehearsal studio and playing the completed compositions and I was sitting it a puddle of tears.
    I had never been moved so much. Thank you for allowing me to spend that time with you. I will never forget one of the most beautiful and rewarding musical times in my life.
    One love Ru.
    Bernard 🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾

    류이치 사카모토님이 지금껏 보여주신 모든 작품, 경계없는 시도들은 저에게 하나의 흔적으로 남아 취향이 되고 마음이 되고 용기가 되고 위로가 되었습니다. 사카모토님이 신중하게 들려주시는 음 하나하나 또한 너무나 소중한 순간이 아닐수 없습니다. 가사 한 줄 없이도 이야기를 나누는 듯하고, 만난 적 없지만 옆에 있어주는 듯한 느낌을 사카모토님의 음악에서 느낄 수 있습니다.
    당신의 생각과 마음을 제가 존재하는 세상에 공유해주셔서 감사합니다!

    I have such profound appreciation, admiration, and respect for Ryuichi Sakamoto and have been following his music and career for nearly 40 years. He is a brilliant artist and this offering shows a special side of him where he uses the unfortunate situation of the pandemic to bring the beauty of his music and that of the other highly skilled artist he is performing with to people in isolation. A remarkable gift from an extraordinary person! Thank you, Mr. Sakamoto!

    • @lllllllllllllllllllll1lll1
      @lllllllllllllllllllll1lll1 Рік тому +2

      Wow, such a lovely comment. 40 wonderful years, and many more to come. Mr. Sakamoto's compositions are akin to a library containing volumes of human experience. Incredibly intimate and enchanting. He pours his soul into those keys, resonating out into those who listen. I am much younger than you, in my late 20s; I look forward to living life with his music like you have. In the 4 years since I came upon his catalogue, it has carried me through times of elation, deep despair, hope and lack thereof. I truly do not know where I would be without him. I do know, however, that I will continue to share his life's work with anyone who cares to listen. Thank you for sharing your experience with his music; thank you, Mr. Sakamoto, for your generous contributions to our lives.
