Banji Kaicho presents:

123: 追悼・坂本龍一 (II)

追悼・坂本龍一
Ryuichi Sakamoto Memorial
🕊🪦

Part II of Ryuichi Sakamoto tribute series on Banji Kaicho: The End Of Asia. After cofounding YMO and making his first move in solo career, Sakamoto quickly emerged as a domestic icon of electro-pop, and soon to be heard so in the West. It’s a brand new world of technology and cross-cultural communication in the 80s, that befittingly brought out probably one of the most fruitful stretches of any recording artist in that period. Hear some YMO classics and solo highlights, this afternoon 1pm on WRIR.
