I did not realize that he was dealing with cancer at the time this was made. And even as it went to the late stage he still played and gave his music to others. RIP maestro, thank you so much.

[@DolceFarNienteASMR]

I've been isolated for two months, alone with the ashes of my mother because she died right before the pandemic lockdown. Sakamoto-sama, please receive my deepest appreciation and thanks for this art session.

[@ktulukaramazov]

Hey man, I hope you find relief. Im Sorry for your loss.

[@jhowardsupporter]

I heard that Merry Christmas Mr Lawerence theme song right before my friend died. I didn't know who to turn to and thought the only people who could understand would be the soldiers. Cos they had their friends die all the time. So I watched the ww2 documentaries. I heard one nurses in stationed in Africa had wrote in her dairy "we all cry in private, but never in front of the boys". So I always I had to hold back my tears in front of my friend. When she died was the first time I cried.

My wife and I were very fortunate enough to see Ryuichi play a solo concert in London almost 12 years ago now. The audience (mostly Japanese) were so polite and courteous throughout. You could hear a pin drop. Not a single cough or sneeze, nobody getting up to go and get a drink etc. Amazing experience. Met him afterwards and he was such a gentleman.

[@erikoenglish1651]

You are lucky. I'm Japanese. He can't do concert anymore. 6/7/22, he announced statement about his cancer is already stage 4 since December 21. He said still making music at home until last moment at his home. Thank you for loving his music.

I first heard Mr. Sakamoto’s music when I was at the lowest point. His music, Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence, took me in a daydream and allowed me to wash my loneliness with tears. And this is what I love about him as an artist, he truly can transcend emotions beyond time and space. Thank you for thinking of us Mr. Sakamoto.

[@johnweinberger128]

His music has haunted me since merry Christmas mr Lawrence came out. It was the last movie I saw before I went to navy boot camp, so for 38 years it's been in me. I want it played at my funeral. That's how much I love it.

[@sparkplanet]

R.I.P thank you Mr. Ryuichi Sakamoto. Your music always in my heart and forever. Thank you very very much for everything you have done. 天上又多了一顆星星。 「人的一生中所剩的時間每一天都在減少，真實的地生活著，做真實的音樂，不對自己說謊，還有不要忘記每天看月亮。 」坂本龍一的人生哲學。 從「末代皇帝」這部電影開始，就成了坂本龍一的粉絲，他的樂曲總是能打動著最深層的心靈。 前陣子， 重新看了「末代皇帝」，雖然已經看過許多次， 每每回看，還是深深吸引著我的目光。 到了某個年紀或是經歷了某些事情，會的的確確感受到人生的短暫。人生要累積的應該不是外貌、數字、名與利，更多的是，一顆充滿智慧的心。 既然我們⋯什麼都帶不走，就多留下一些美好的事物、樂章給這世界。 感謝您所留給我們的一切，願ㄧ代音樂大師，坂本龍一，ㄧ路好走。

[@juanbrocca7020]

The news of Mr. Sakamoto's departure were very sad to me. I got to get in touch with his music as far as four years now, and although the time's not that much, it's enough to make it so sad, to find out he's not with us anymore. To think he's been working on his music until this very year, and to remember every single person that happened to trace their inspiration from such a great musician... Truly someone that not only could be rightfully called the sound of postmodern Japan, but also the sound of many nations. Wherever he may be, he will always be missed.

I’ve had the opportunity of meeting working and pretty much living with him. To this day whenever I hear a solo piano I cannot help but to think of this man. The time I spend although at the time it seemed long but was actually way to short. Once his music was in me it was in to stay and to this day everything musically from the time spent with him till now touches me to the depths of my soul. I once had the privilege of being with him when he was composing the music for ‘The last emperor’ I was in Tokyo to work on an opera he composed. He left to go to China to record and I’ll never forget him coming back to the rehearsal studio and playing the completed compositions and I was sitting it a puddle of tears. I had never been moved so much. Thank you for allowing me to spend that time with you. I will never forget one of the most beautiful and rewarding musical times in my life. One love Ru. Bernard 🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾

He is a brilliant artist and this offering shows a special side of him where he uses the unfortunate situation of the pandemic to bring the beauty of his music and that of the other highly skilled artist he is performing with to people in isolation. A remarkable gift from an extraordinary person! Thank you, Mr. Sakamoto!

Wow, such a lovely comment. 40 wonderful years, and many more to come. Mr. Sakamoto's compositions are akin to a library containing volumes of human experience. Incredibly intimate and enchanting. He pours his soul into those keys, resonating out into those who listen. I am much younger than you, in my late 20s; I look forward to living life with his music like you have. In the 4 years since I came upon his catalogue, it has carried me through times of elation, deep despair, hope and lack thereof. I truly do not know where I would be without him. I do know, however, that I will continue to share his life's work with anyone who cares to listen.
