I've been isolated for two months, alone with the ashes of my mother because she died right before the pandemic lockdown. Sakamoto-sama, please receive my deepest appreciation and thanks for this art session.
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.

I did not realize that he was dealing with cancer at the time this was made. And even as it went to the late stage he still played and gave his music to others. RIP maestro, thank you so much.
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.
You are lucky. I'm Japanese. He can't do concert anymore. 6/7/22, he announced statement about his cancer is already stage 4 since December 21. He said still making music at home until last moment at his home. Thank you for loving his music.
Dear Sakamoto, today I am saddened by the news of your departure from life. With you a bit of my life has gone as well. You Sir gave so much to all of us , I have only gratitude for You... may You rest in peace dear Ryuichi
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 🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾
Are you the guy who performed on Sakamoto's Neo-Geo tour? I love the version of Tibetan Dance with your vocals. Must have been an incredible experience.
R.I.P thank you Mr. Ryuichi Sakamoto. Your music always in my heart and forever. Thank you very very much for everything you have done. 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。
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.
Rest in Peace, dear sir Ryuichi Sakamoto. You will be dearly missed. I am so devastated because I just watched this same vid recently hoping and praying you’d get better but God has took you with him now. I hope you’ll reunite with Mr. David Bowie up there. 😢😢❤
I've never cried watching a youtube video, but I couldn't hold my tears during Bibo No Aozora. I wasn't thinking of anything, just feeling the intrinsic beauty of the song through the pianos sound. The feeling that Ryuichi is the universe itself is within his music.
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!
That is so true. I've been a fan of his music since i was a teenager, met him 3 times in France, and, what a "gentle-man", and what a musical genius... 💙
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.
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.
Four years later, you are and will always be missed. Thanks for all the amazing legacy you left, so we can, forever, feel one with your wonderful, magical, soul.. ❤
Sakamoto is such an essential figure in the larger canon of music... I hope that his work is taught and discussed for centuries to come, like great composers before him
RIP you legend of a man. I found you through your collabs with David Sylvian, then found out about YMO, the amount you've contributed to the world of music will be remembered for many lifetimes.

My Grandpa was teacher of Shamisen until around he was 70 who is 94 yrs old right now. Shamisen sounds strong n beautiful. Thank you so much Sakamoto kyoujyu to share this wonderful sound...💛🌍🎹
I love his never being old and experimental, daring about his work but keeping his style, somehow. I mean.. his good looking is another thing. He has it all! It’s not fair for a genius like him has looks and warmth and the sense of keepin’ it real!
La tua musica rende questo mondo migliore, nonostante tutto. Possano i pensieri oscuri e malevoli uscire dalla mente, la chiarezza sostituire la confusione, e la pace e la calma riempire la vita. Grazie di cuore Sakamoto-san.🙏🙏🙏
Somehow I suddenly started to his music "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence" after lock down in LA. I picked up his music by my memory and and started to play piano. I cried so much during listening his music which was rewashing my soul. His music is so beautiful. His soul reaches out our soul. Thank you so much. Sakamoto-San.
When I was a kid I heard Endless flight during the credits of Babel (the movie.) I was enamored by the beauty and melancholy of the song even though I was too young to understand it. I have been a fan of Sakamoto ever since. I am devastated to hear he passed away, but I will cherish his music forever. Thank you
Rest in peace, Mr Sakomoto. I was, am and will be in love with your music. Forever. I don't know what so say. It makes me really sad you are no longer in this world.😢 You will dearly be missed.
finding myself, unawares, applauding not-too-loud claps at the closing of each tunes played by Mr. Sakamoto, a medicine that heals both the body and soul of those down with the pandemic.
He died of cancer on March 28, 2023. Thank you, for all the beauty you have left us. I hope you continue to be surrounded by all the musical sounds that have made you so happy in this life.
Alongside Stevie Wonder, Mr. Sakamoto you are truly one of my favorite living musicians. Thank you for the classiness and beauty of your musicianship. Continue to stay strong. Congratulations on beating throat cancer! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I've been through hell for the past few days. I just found this video today and I couldn't more grateful. Your music saved me before, and it's saving me again now. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much, Mr. Sakamoto.
Yes i had the same feeling, the song is now a lot sadder but also has increased even more it’s beauty. It’s incredible that Mr Sakamoto was the actor who played captain Yonoi and also the composer.
This whole performance is drenched in emotion, which I value above perfection. I also feel deeply moved by it. Thank you for your gift to us Sakamoto San.
What a gift is this. So emotional, so human, so inspiring. I'm thankful for being lucky enough for seeing this right now... Is difficult to get used to be locked up but let's see all of this in a positive way... We are alive now Greetings from North Mexico, Mr. Sakamoto.
Thank you maestro. I watched this concert live on UA-cam during the pandemic. I was struck by your humbleness, sensitivity, and artistry. But especially by your kindness in dedicating this concert to the many who were isolated in different painful ways. May you have a joyful and peaceful journey lifetime after lifetime and throughout all eternity. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🎹❤
Dear Sakamoto San. I hope You are well and healthy, and safe in these struggle times. I'd like to express my gratitude for your gift which you gave us through your music and humble passion which you presented by. Your pieces made a huge impact on my interesting in classical music in general. I wish bless on You by anyone who can give You that. With truly respect by a man who admire Your passion in music.
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!
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.
Sakamoto-sama, thank you for all that you have given to the world. I am sorry for you suffering from cancer. I hope your after life, no matter what that is, is a peaceful and sweet to you for all of the peace and solace your creative works have given to so many in need here on Earth. You have been and always will be inspiring.

Rest in Peace Sir Ryuichi Sakamoto.

Gasped aloud to this... Im so shocked and I hope for the best. (｡º̩̩́⌓º̩̩̀).゜
Prayers for healing with him...
God bless you..and always be with you. I really hope you get better soon.

每次心情不好或者陷入困境的时候就会来听教授的作品，最近再次陷入自我设定的困境中难以自拔，心魔很可怕，但教授的音乐总能让我探寻自己的内心深处，给予我力量，从对待音乐的初心来找回自己对于生活的初心，这就是教授的魔力。希望自己跨过这道坎以后再来温习这条评论，能来再次感谢教授，感谢企图拯救自己的自己

I like the shamisen too, I would love to attend a shamisen performance in person...
discovered both his legacy and his death in a single strike... fuck. life is a hard merciless thing indeed....
I love his never being old and experimental, daring about his work but keeping his style, somehow. I mean.. his good looking is another thing. He has it all! It’s not fair for a genius like him has looks and warmth and the sense of keepin’ it real!
小学生の時テレビで初めて見た清志郎さんとのいけない…は衝撃でした。戦場のメリークリスマスでは子供ながらになんてきれいな音楽なんだろうと引きつけられたのを覚えています。渡米して以来２０年日本に帰っていないのですが、偶然これを見つけ、元気なお姿に優しいお人柄の忍ばれる生のお声も聞けて、本当に嬉しくなりました。日本の伝統と今の東京の息遣いとともに奏でられた音が綺麗すぎて言葉を失いました。久しぶりに東京に帰りたくなりました。世の中に何があっても汚されずに世界を励ます力が芸術にはあるのだと、身をもって教えてくれる本物の芸術家が日本にいることを本当に誇りに思います。
"So much to share and so much to learn" Master Sakamoto never leaves you indifferent. Health and long life, master.
Rest in Peace, dear Mr. Sakamoto...we are still listening to you and will continue to listen for a lifetime...

I've been through hell for the past few days. I just found this video today and I couldn't more grateful. Your music saved me before, and it's saving me again now. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much, Mr. Sakamoto.
After watching the movie, this version of Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence is always sounds sadder and sadder. What a tragically beautiful story.
So true. Beautiful and sad at the same time.
Yes i had the same feeling, the song is now a lot sadder but also has increased even more it’s beauty. It’s incredible that Mr Sakamoto was the actor who played captain Yonoi and also the composer.
The ending is breathtaking.
This whole performance is drenched in emotion, which I value above perfection. I also feel deeply moved by it. Thank you for your gift to us Sakamoto San.
May you find your eternal peace, Professor.
This is beautiful art, massive respect to all of the people that made this performance possible. Greetings from Chile.
He is the love of my life, his music touch my heart , is like to have the heaven in the earth. Thanks a Lot Mr Ryuichi Sakamoto!!!!
Ryuichi Sakamoto, being a pianist for many years, I love playing all your music, especially the one in Furyo.
RIP Mr Sakamoto. You may be gone, but your wonderful legacy lives on.😢😢😢
Thank you Mr Ryuichi Sakamoto, may you rest in peace.
Life is short. Art is long. Love you Sakamoto-San RIP
feeling honored to be here
What a gift is this. So emotional, so human, so inspiring. I'm thankful for being lucky enough for seeing this right now... Is difficult to get used to be locked up but let's see all of this in a positive way... We are alive now
Greetings from North Mexico, Mr. Sakamoto.
Thank you maestro. I watched this concert live on UA-cam during the pandemic. I was struck by your humbleness, sensitivity, and artistry. But especially by your kindness in dedicating this concert to the many who were isolated in different painful ways.
May you have a joyful and peaceful journey lifetime after lifetime and throughout all eternity. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🎹❤
Yes he is so humble and kind, and always encouraging other people (in his aging days😆)
Beautiful, well said. You gave the perfect words
ありがとうSakamotoさん❤️
I love everything about this. Even the lighting, camera angles and cinematography, the artists and instruments are beautiful.
Rest in peace, Professor Ryuichi.
No comment....That is pure ART!
Dear Sakamoto San. I hope You are well and healthy, and safe in these struggle times. I'd like to express my gratitude for your gift which you gave us through your music and humble passion which you presented by. Your pieces made a huge impact on my interesting in classical music in general. I wish bless on You by anyone who can give You that. With truly respect by a man who admire Your passion in music.
Thank you, Ryuichi Sakamoto.
Surprised and delighted he closed with Perspective. My favorite of his, underrated and extremely apt.
Thank you for pointing it out! I've been listening to Sakamoto for two years now, and I've never heard Perspective. Truly exceptional
I hope we can protect this man’s art for the future. Forever.
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!
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.
My heart felt ready to collapse during merry Christmas. Haunting
While the world is in chaos, I find great peacefulness listening to this masterpiece.
想念您，看完了关于您的纪录片，一直止不住流泪。很遗憾没有机会当面见到您。安息
Sakamoto-sama, thank you for all that you have given to the world. I am sorry for you suffering from cancer. I hope your after life, no matter what that is, is a peaceful and sweet to you for all of the peace and solace your creative works have given to so many in need here on Earth. You have been and always will be inspiring.
