[#Ryuichi Sakamoto and his last concert#] According to Japanese media reports: The famous musician Ryuichi Sakamoto died at the age of 71. This news shocked and saddened countless fans who loved him. #坂本龙一去世 #
Who is Ryuichi Sakamoto? A musician who can make people watch an entire film for one episode of his, a social artist who reflects on wars and disasters with melody, reshapes the aesthetics of life with musical notes, and a philosopher who gives people infinite peace and strength because of its vastness and depth.
This article was published in December 2022. At that time, Ryuichi Sakamoto planned to give a solo piano concert to the world on December 11. "I don't have enough physical strength to give a live concert, and maybe the last time I'll do it in this format." #坂本龙一曾举办最后的音乐会 #
In 2014, Ryuichi Sakamoto was diagnosed with oropharyngeal cancer, and in 2021, he developed rectal cancer and underwent surgery, and in October and December of the same year, the cancer metastasized to both lungs. That may have been the closest Ryuichi Sakamoto came to death. Life is dyed twilight, but the salute to music is always calm. Even though, in fact, he has been playing life and death tirelessly for most of his life, using musical notes to integrate them with nature and soul.
"Professor" Ryuichi Sakamoto is not really a professor, but he has left traces of exploration of "what else can music do" in almost all walks of life. From war to politics, from natural disasters to environmental issues, his music flows in all things, but in the end, he remains true to his original self.
"Human life is shorter and shorter, I am a musician, I must be honest when creating". Honesty makes creativity free, music makes people free, and free music is for the world and all mankind.
