Like many others, the music of the late ‪@RyuichiSakamotoArchive‬ has deeply comforted and inspired me in my life and music. Recently, I saw his concert film 'Opus' in a theater, which left a subtle yet profound lingering emotion deep in my heart. It made me suddenly want to express my gratitude for the gift I received from him. I extended one of my most popular pieces, 'All The Little Lights in Tokyo,' incorporating the style of one of Mr. Sakamoto's iconic pieces, 'Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence,' into the middle transition of the song, trying to convey those feelings.
