Since the 1970s, Ryuichi Sakamoto has been one of Japan's most well-known and innovative musical icons, constantly questioning and re-imagining what music can be to the delight of his global audience. Both in Japan and worldwide, Sakamoto has also been a powerful voice for activism, using his influence to increase awareness around ecological issues such as the dangers of nuclear power and deforestation.

It's almost the same question of what human beings are. Anything can be related to the answer, that is why I am looking at everything.
