Ryuichi Sakamoto
In the video above Sakamoto plays Forbidden Colours, which was originally written for the movie Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence, and later was adapted into a hit single.
Ryuichi Sakamoto is a Japanese musician and composer. His rise to fame came as a member of the electronic pop band Yellow Magic Orchestra. He played keyboard and occasionally sang. The band had worldwide hits, like “Computer Game/Firecracker”, “Behind the Mask”, and “Rydeen.” After much joint success, Sakamoto pursued a solo career. He has since collaborated with many international artists.
Ryuichi Sakamoto also had huge success as a film composer, earning himself a Golden Globe, a Grammy and an Academy Award for his work in The Last Emperor, as well as several other awards for other works. He also composed music for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.
Sadly in 2014 Sakamoto was diagnosed with oropharyngeal cancer. Shortly after his diagnosis, Sakamoto announced that he would be taking a hiatus from his work to focus on healing, with promises to return after a full recovery.
