RYUICHI Sakamoto

I spotted handsomely aging Ryuichi Sakamoto on my train home this week.

He is one of the men on the latest Suntory x Tower Records poster claiming

"NO music. NO life."

"NO whiskey. NO life."

"NO music, NO whiskey"

Poke around his bilingual website located here.

He is touring Europe throughout October and November, but will be here in Osaka on December 19 and 20 at the Theatre Brava.

Even if you only know the beautifully spine tingling Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence,

it seems a lovely little rendezvous time before Christmas don't you think to feel connected to music and some source of inspiration?
