I met Ryuichi once in Sydney after his concert. He was so humble and a sweet and gentle man. He had a lot of time to chat and was charming. I will never forget that evening.

Such breath-taking sensitivity, so achingly beautiful - he is a genius and consummate performer. Everything he writes and plays has such emotion and absolute control. A brilliant talent that touches your deepest soul. Truly a rare magician.

Rest in peace maestro 🙏

[@ingorichter649]

If You close Your eyes and simply listen to this noble music You can think about comparable breathtaking solo piano performances of evergreen compositions as played in Vienna at the end of 18 th and the beginning of 19 th century. What a great, great lost for our contemporary global music scene. 😭🎵🙏

[@muki1114]

😢 I am so sad, that You have gone.. You are a great pianist ❤ and You will forever be so ❤

[@IIStelmariaII]

I've never listened to a more expressive and creative artist than Sakamoto, not matter the performance he is always able to touch the heart and soul. It's as if he's managed to pick the lock of our most closely guarded emotions and allow them to consume us. In the process he steals our hearts and makes us question who and what we are.

[@TivoliEclipse]

He's gone. RIP beautiful man.

[@2222isabella]

R.I.P. Maestro. You left your marks here on earth. The sheltering sky shall now watch over you. Thank you.

Questo adagio l’ ho sentito con mio padre la prima volta e lui si commosse… è l’ultima musica che ha ascoltato con me prima di venire a mancare e da allora ogni volta che gli porto i fiori l’ ascoltiamo insieme ❤

[@lowfatrib4935]

素晴らしい。映画も好きだった。

[@emilyhutjes]

Music from heaven, wherever that may be. Thank you Mr. Sakamoto

[@ifuritto]

he's still alive lmao

[@emilyhutjes]

OK I know Mr. Sakamoto is alive! I meant: Heavenly music.

[@alistermunro7090]

Taking the time to explain to someone called vomit :)

[@ifuritto]

Alister Munro lol what does that have to do with anything

[@emilyhutjes]

Dear Alister , maybe someone misunderstood what I meant by "Music from Heaven"? You did understand, thank you for your reaction.

[@widerhorizon]

R.i.p in your Sheltering Sky, Maestro.

[@iankim0131]

이 노래를 들으니 류이치 사카모토 선생님의 연주가 그립네요 😢😢

[@LagoonM8]

Debra Winger and John Malkovich were great in the Sheltering Sky. The scene when he dies in the desert was really moving, despite the fact that their marriage was in shambles, and that he played the part of a cold and cynical person, Kitty falls into despair at the moment of his death.This scene was one of the saddest I had ever seen at the time. The theme song by Ryuichi Sakamoto does convey a sense of loss. Magnificent work from an incredible composer, who is a typical example of minimalist.

[@chuckbuckbobuck]

@LagoonM8- It was a very dark film as I mentioned at on a different

[@chuckbuckbobuck]

Segment on You Tube. It was very troubling to see John Malkovich die as Debra Winger was clinging to the hope she wouldnt. She now had to use her wiles to survive and she truly went native to do so. I have had a troubled life and after viewing this film nearly 30 year ago I found myself pounding the floof with my fists in despair because this film certainly didnt have a happy ending. Like I stated above, it truly is a dark film and one shouldn't see it if one is mentally unhealthy!

[@robertoderrico2324]

Film bellissimo, capolavoro!

[@michelleschulman914]

I was captivated by this film, watched it so many times, sought out snd read the book by Paul Bowles. Never knew Sakamoto was the genius behind the film score. It is usually Ennio Morricone films that capture me like no other.

[@hayleyhyejinjung3990]

Sheltering sky is one of kinds in my life. Why humun happens to know true love after losing one. Under this film, I has not been awared of Sakamoto' s music, sophisticated and heart aching control.

[@stephanemachet80]

MERCI

[@miraisong]

本当に美しい曲ですね。　世界観に引き込まれます。

[@tt.craftycarp.asseenfishin5838]

The Sheltering Sky. Wonderfull Mystical Book,1949 Paul Bowles. Stunning Piece of Music. Do not know if the two are linked in any way. But, If you have not read the book, please, read it. It is simply, wonderful. TT XX

[@kukai888]

I wish you the best, dear Sakamoto　先生. 体おつけて下さい。

[@jbatistabr]

Delicate and visceral music at the same time, in terms of the anguished souls of The sheltering sky's characters

[@neonflights5951]

My friend just introduced me to his work and this is the song she decided to share when I let her know she can grieve him in our friend group chat. It fits so remarkably, getting to hear his beautiful and lively portions right before it gets ever more somber.

[@windthirs117610]

RIP I miss you

[@teresasierra9993]

Descanse en paz Ryuichi Sakamoto ,solo puedo darle las gracias por poder disfrutar de su musica la cual me llega al corazón vuela alto maestro💔💔

Ryuichi Sakamoto... just.. perfect.. no more words

[@neilmc1036]

Sakomoto-san is a genius no doubt, but one with a heart - you couldn't produce this stuff any other way. Thank you again and again.

[@jayzXD]

feel a great pressure on my chest every time i listen to this, love it

[@Rowantu]

Music is perhaps what you make of it. This piece invokes a majestic sadness inside of me. In my head, it tells the story a lonely man proving himself to an audience of nothing but mountains and valleys. It echoes on and on through the snow-topped peaks, but still nobody hears it and for that he is mournful. Maybe this song is empty to some people, but emptiness is a feeling too. Isn't that what music is supposed to do? Invoke our true feelings?

[@joaomanuelvelosobarbara]

Sakamoto is a brilliant sky!

[@davidemion5007]

Maestro Ryuichi you’re great like the other one, Maestro Bernardo Bertolucci…. What a masterpiece Sir you gifted us, that’s your legacy…. R.I.P❤
