Ryuichi Sakamoto: Playing the Piano 12122020(CD)

Product Description

Ryuichi Sakamoto: Playing the Piano 12122020 is the latest live recording of Ryuichi Sakamoto's best selections from the audience-free online piano concert held at the end of 2020. The concert was directed by Rhizomatiks and filmed by Zakkubalan, and was simultaneously broadcast worldwide from a studio in Tokyo. The live performance was a one-night-only event with no archive, making it a rare and precious event that will never be seen again. Finally, it was decided to release this sound recording on December 12, 2021, the same day one year later. In August 2021, "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence - version 2020" from this live recording was used as the theme song for TBS TV's "76th Anniversary of the End of World War II Project: Tsunagu, Tsunagu" campaign. Also included is "MUJI2020," a MUJI commercial song that could only be heard in the "2020s" box set released at the end of March 2021, performed towards the end of the live performance. This set list can be said to be Ryuichi Sakamoto's best selection of songs and is the latest live sound source.
