General Information
Description
Ryuichi Sakamoto is a Japanese musician, activist, composer, record producer, writer, singer, pianist, and actor based in Tokyo and New York. Beginning his career in 1978 as a member of the electronic music group Yellow Magic Orchestra, Sakamoto served on keyboards and sometimes vocals. The band was an international success, with worldwide hits such as "Computer Game / Firecracker" and "Behind the Mask", later playing a pioneering role in the techno and acid house movements of the 1990s. He concurrently pursued a solo career, debuting with the experimental electronic fusion album Thousand Knives, and later released the pioneering album B-2 Unit, which included the electro classic "Riot in Lagos". From thereon, he produced more solo records, collaborated with many international artists, and pursued a wide variety of projects, such as having composed music for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics opening ceremony. His composition "Energy Flow" was the first instrumental number-one single in Japan's Oricon charts history.
