RIP: Ryuichi Sakamoto

One of the all time greats and a huge hero of mine. Always sad to hear news like this:

Also lost another YMO member, Yukihiro Takahashi, just a couple of months ago.

Oh. How sad.

First time I heard something from him was Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence, Furyo’s theme…
Sometimes, the song would stay in my head for a whole day, and I would improvise variations.
There was so much warmth in this melody, so much tenderness… My kid heart was mesmerized, I knew there was comfort in music, something I could rely on.

A tear for this great man.
:cry:

Thank you for your legacy.
