RIP Ryuichi Sakamoto

No more Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence...:(

Ryuichi Sakamoto was 71...he died on Match 28th, after a long battle with cancer.

Sakamoto won an Oscar for The Last Emperor score in 1987.

his themes were used by Hans Zimmer in one of my faved flicks, Black Rain. Also the soundtrack has a Ryuichi song, Laserman.

He scored Snake Eyes and Femme Fatale for Brian De Palma...

last film I saw with his score was Minimta in 2010, the Johnny Depp biopic.

I just read in Uncut album of the month review of his lst album, 12...


here he's in his Pop Electronic youth...
