It's funny how if you look up Kraftwerk performing Heimcomputer live in 1981, you can see Ralf do that exact dance move with his hands. Ryuichi sure has a great memory.

[@KlausBahnhof]

I always thought it was a cool original dance move.

[@wifikraftofficial8645]

That’s his kind of dance ralf hutter is

[@j.maxell3030]

Jajaja Ralph y Florian fueron a disfrutar de la electro EDM de Moroder (NRG & Synthpop)...muy sonada en las Discotecas. Ryuichi S. y los YMO no tienen nada que ver con el Krautrock de Kraftwerk 😉

[@DjangoNovo]

That's psychology. You will remember this due to his narrative. There is no great memory required.

[@mastersoftoday]

@@DjangoNovo not talking about myself, i mean that Ryuichi remembered that dance move for 33 years

[@tedmalley7636]

Ryuichi Sakamoto...what a great musical genius..

[@fightman_records]

RIP legend

[@singinglawnchair]

I'm just imagining all the other Japanese people at the disco observing Ralf getting down and doing that hand motion from the '81 tour.

[@olivere5497]

If he mentioned the name of the club it would be a pretty good clue as to who was there.

[@happykillfreak]

I didn't expect that Ryuichi Sakamoto is good in English

[@coolrock9281]

Same!

[@nickryan6787]

He moved to NYC and lived there for a while already, years I think

[@obamaslilbro]

love him his music is great was not expecting him

[@user-tk5nk1rt7g]

その時クラフトワークの面々がナンパし始めて教授はガッカリしたそうです　なんだ自分と同じだなって

[@KanalvogtSG]

When he said "Kraftwerk" at 0:02, I thought it was Karl Bartos.

[@UsamFauzanFoundation]

masterpiece!

[@juh_unk]

Anyone got the link to the full lecture?

[@Rovou7]

+cosy murx that interviewer is awful lol.

[@basehead617]

Was this supposed to be an interesting story? I would've liked to hear him speak on Kraftwerk's influence on YMO.

[@jeshkam]

It's quite funny.

[@viborgvee8399]

Agreed. It’s such a shit anecdote lol.

[@j.maxell3030]

No hubo ninguna influencia...YMO y Ryuichi S. no hacían KRAUTROCK!

[@nunc-hic-stans4211]

​@@viborgvee8399Maybe if the idiot "interviewers" would'd let him finish it 🤷🏻‍♂️. I've seem several of this "RBMA" videos and they interrupt constantly or seem to be not interested at all. Very disappointing.

[@gabriel.knight]

Wouldn't have thought they agreed to appear in a program sponsored by such a controversial franchise

[@Herminator72]

And here you are, watching videos produced by that controversial franchise...

[@olivere5497]

Japanese dont care about hypocritical western morals

[@user-bm5gz3ce7p]

新宿高校って頭いいわね

[@user-tm6rg2yu9x]

水分保質

[@remotely_non_reciprocal]

There is no such thing as the "German style". They danced in their style.

[@j.maxell3030]

Estos de Red Bulls siempre tratan de acuñar todo a Kraftwerk... Ryuichi Sakamoto y YMO no hacían KRAUTROCK.

[@giorgioricci]

I kraftwerk sono inferiori a YMO senza ombra di dubbio. Incarnano bene la cupezza e il buio profondo dei tedeschi. Musica legnosa e senza vita!
