SunEye Radio (Hashim & Akiko Bharoocha) interviewed legendary Japanese pianist, composer, producer, actor, and activist, Ryuichi Sakamoto, in 2019 at the Ace Hotel. We covered a wide range of topics with him including how he got interested in the piano, how he recorded his first solo album “Thousand Knives,” why he wasn’t that excited about joining Yellow Magic Orchestra in the beginning, electronic music, soundtracks, and overcoming cancer. We hope you enjoy this rare interview with a bona fide legend and our mix of his obscure tracks. The interview includes English translations.
