Just want to share a couple great works by Sakamoto. I'm a big fan. One of my favorite bossa nova albums is A Day In New York by Morelenbaum/Sakamoto. Here's Desafinado from that album:

And his early synth-y stuff is just so hip. Thousand Knives of Ryuichi Sakamoto (1978) is some badass stuff.

- Aco- 4y agoCouldn't agree more with this comment. I came here to share these, too. Some of his best work, imo. Here's the full album ("Casa") for those interested: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kD_LK3RoPwL6UNzGT2syZpUWkwiQGn9_I https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kD_LK3RoPwL6UNzGT2...
- teknico 4y ago“Casa” and “A Day in New York” are among the most beautiful bossa nova records I know of.
- twelvechairs 4y agoI always have loved 'thousand knives' most of all. So clear and melodic but such a challenge to western songmaking - 'popular' and 'classical'. RIP Sakamoto.
