Ryuichi Sakamoto
November 5, 2010
El Rey Theatre
Los Angeles, CA
I had the opportunity to shoot one of my favorite musicians, Ryuichi Sakamoto, who is probably most famous in the US for winning an Oscar for the soundtrack for "The Last Emperor." Also, he was a member of the group Yellow Magic Orchestra, and has collaborated with another one of my favorite musician, David Sylvian on such songs as "Forbidden Colours" from "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence".
The show was structured much like a classical music concert - no chatting with the audience, letting the music speak for itself. The one other photog and I were were placed in the back so as not to disrupt the tranquility of the concert. Sorry I couldn't zoom in tighter, but I was happy to be there and this was one of my favorite captures of the night.

Ryuichi Sakamoto (坂本龍一 ) 🇯🇵
January 17, 1952 – March 28, 2023
в январе вспоминали Yukihiro Takahashi из той же компании YMO и вот теперь Рюити
попытался составить список релизов, где Ryuichi отметился сольно, либо как соучастник (YMO) или продюсер, или аранжировщик и клавишник (таких пластинок удивительно много тоже) — получилось 167 альбомов
но это далеко не всё — на discogs он затеган в 2291 (!) издании, правда среди этой массы ~ половина это ремиксы одной песни в каком-нибудь варианте альбома других артистов, не стал их учитывать, не сомневаюсь, что вскоре японцы издадут вообще всё что вышло из под рук маэстро, включая эти многочисленные ремиксы — наследие велико и разнообразно ✨

行ってきました夏フェス、WORLD HAPINESS 2010。
わたしにとって消化不良どころか演奏後に怒号が飛び交うといった前代未聞のイベント（京都東寺のLive Earth）以来のYMO。
演奏開始でいきなり重い音から始まるイントロ！新しいエレクトロニカな音に慣れてしまった我々を30年前に引き戻してくれたのは、LOTUS LOVE。予想外だったのでタイトルがしばらく思い出せない。時をとびこえて世界の外まで会いに来た甲斐があったよ！
２曲目はまたこれ80年代なDay Tripper。教授の前に鎮座するシンセは・・・ARPのOdyssey!!この人達、本気で30年前にタイムトリップさせる気だ！
３曲目はONGAKU。GIJÓNに似た音。ちょっとエレクトロニカで一息。
４曲目がまたこれ３０年前。冴えるユキヒロさんのドラムに響く細野さんのベース、被さってくるピアノの音、踊る体操服のダンサーさん。まさしくTAISO！教授がメガホンで叫ぶなら我々は腕を胸の前に上げちゃいますよ！
５曲目は千のナイフ。WH2009と同じようなフュージョン色の強い音。これはこれで一度生で聞いてみたかったのでとても嬉しい。
６曲目はまたこれユキヒロさんのドラムが冴える冴える。最近はあんまり叩いてないからもう歳か？と思ったけど、まだまだ全然いけるじゃないですか！ってことでBEHIND THE MASK。教授のボーカルにきっちりエフェクターかけてありました。
７曲目はTibetan Dance。最新の音。
８曲目にCrystal Kayさんとスカパラさんが登場しThank You For Talkin' To Me Africa。スコラの音の通り（笑）。
９曲目がある意味ハイライト。79/07ではない、真のRydeen！YMOはこれでなきゃ。わたしはこれ聞いて会場でノリながら泣きました。ユキヒロさんのズッタカダカダカっていうフィルインが当時の音のまんま！！！アンコールでこれだったら最高だったのに・・・。
１０曲目は去年のアンコール曲、そしてYMOの原点とも言える、Fire Cracker。細野さんが木琴叩く叩く。
アンコールでやったのが去年の１曲目のHello Good-Bye。ユキヒロさん、風邪のせいか、取りの声にあわせて歌ってたようにみえました。
写真は全公演終了後。観客エリアごとに会場を離れるシステムだったので、その待ち時間に一枚。こんな音なら来年も必ず行っちゃうぞ。

Yukihiro Takahashi [高橋 幸宏]
June 6, 1952 – January 11, 2023
RIP
Yukihiro Takahashi — один пионеров электронной музыки, ударник и вокалист Yellow Magic Orchestra и других проектов. Musician, singer, record producer, and actor, who was best known internationally as the drummer and lead vocalist of the Yellow Magic Orchestra.
Когда-то для меня стало открытием, что хит Behind the Mask на самом деле песня YMO 1979 года, хотя с неповторимыми копиями засветились Michael Jackson, Eric Clapton, Greg Phillinganes (это клавишник М.Джексона и у него получилось пожалуй лучше всех), есть версии от The Human League и даже Orbital.
У участников вышло невообразимое количество релизов.
• Haruomi Hosono, Tadanori Yokoo - Cochin Moon 1978
• Haruomi Hosono - Bon Voyage Co. (泰安洋行) 1976
• Haruomi Hosono, Shigeru Suzuki, Tatsuro Yamashita - Pacific 1978
• Haruomi Hosono - Hochono House 1973
Хосоно — легенда японской сцены, из под рук которого вышло более 1600 релизов, среди них пластинки Miharu Koshi — Tutu 1983 и Parallelisme 1984 (и не только), дебют Pizzicato Five – Couples, 1987 (и ещё пара релизов) или пластинка Susan – Do You Believe In Mazik, 1980 (с Sakamoto заодно).
Когда ему было 22 года он играл в японском психоделическом проекте Apryl Fool / エイプリル・フール название напоминает фильм The April Fools, из них потом образовались Happy End и именно он чуть позже придумал проект Yellow Magic Orchestra — по легенде это был восточный ответ Kraftwerk.
• Ryuichi Sakamoto - Neo Geo 1987
• Ryuichi Sakamoto - The Last Emperor 1987
• Ryuichi Sakamoto - Futurista 1986
• Ryuichi Sakamoto - 音楽図鑑 (Ongaku zukan) 1984
• Ryuichi Sakamoto - Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence 1983 (+ David Sylvian of Japan)
• Ryuichi Sakamoto - 左うでの夢 (Left Handed Dream) 1981
• Ryuichi Sakamoto - B-2 Unit 1980
• Ryuichi Sakamoto - Thousand Knives of Ryuichi Sakamoto 1978
Сакамото помимо YMO прославился благодаря фильму Нагисы Осимы «Счастливого Рождества, мистер Лоуренс» [Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence, 1983] с Боуи и Китано, где он сыграл одну из ролей и написал саундтрек, в котором принял участие Д.Силвиан из группы Japan.
• Yukihiro Takahashi - Tomorrow's Just Another Day 1983
последний трек The April Fools — кавер из одноименного романтического фильма с Catherine Deneuve и Jack Lemmon
• Yukihiro Takahashi - Saravah! 1978
• Yukihiro Takahashi - Murdered by the Music 1980
• Yukihiro Takahashi - What, Me Worry? 1982
• Yukihiro Takahashi - Neuromantic 1981
Yukihiro начинал в психоделическом проекте Sadistic Mika Band, название является пародией на группу конца 60-х — Plastic Ono Band [John Lennon+Yoko Ono], параллельно занимался сольными работами (как и остальные участники), пока не присоединился к Hosono и Sakamoto в YMO.
Привет от Sadistic Mika Band (премьера на UK TV, с оригинальной вокалисткой Mika 'Kato' Fukui) - Suki Suki Suki (1975) — кажется мы стали забывать нормальные названия для песен, или с новой вокалисткой Kaela Kimura (2006).
Takahashi записал также отличный альбом в стиле New Romantics — Neuromantic [ニウロマンティック] Hosono и Sakamoto здесь играли на клавишах (так что в принципе это тоже альбом YMO, да-да), плюс тут отметились два музыканта легендарной группы Roxy Music — саксофонист Andrew Mackay и гитарист Phil Manzanera, продюсером стал британец Tony Mansfield из New Musik.
Юкихиро снялся и в нескольких фильмах, например в драме «Норвежский лес» [ノルウェイの森] (по роману Харуки Мураками) его можно узнать в роли привратника.
11 января 2023 года Такахаши умер в Нагано от осложнений пневмонии.
• Harry Hosono & The Yellow Magic Band - Paraiso 1978
(именно этот релиз считается первым альбомом Yellow Magic Orchestra, хотя у проекта пока другое название)
• YMO - Yellow Magic Orchestra 1978
• YMO - Solid State Survivor 1979 (Behind the Mask отсюда)
• YMO - BGM 1981
• YMO - Technodelic 1981
• YMO - Naughty Boys 1983
• YMO - Service 1983
• YMO - Technodon 1993.
На ранних видео за клавишами и вокалом мелькает Yano 'Akiko' Suzuki (矢野顕子) — на тот момент жена Ryuichi Sakamoto, сейчас она с успехом выпускает сольные около-джазовые альбомы в штатах. Akiko солирует в треке Yellow Magic Orchestra - Kang Tong Boy и её можно увидеть на легендарных концертах Yellow Magic Orchestra: Live Theatre Le Palace Paris, 1979 / The Greek Theatre in L.A., 1979 / Budokan Tokyo, 1980.

Yellow Magic Orchestra, Yukihiro Takahashi, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Haruomi Hosono, Yano Akiko
#yellowmagicorchestra #ymo #electronic #electropop #artpop #kraut #synthpop #progressive #ambient #takahashi #hosono #sakamoto #akiko #japan
Yukihiro Takahashi is the estimable drummer for Yellow Magic Orchestra (also known as YMO and now, "Not" YMO), but he is so much more than that. All three members of that seminal group, the other two being Ruichi Sakamoto and Haruomi Hosono, can make major claims to inventing and developing a kind of "techno" sound that went far beyond what the German bands, like Can, had been up to in the early 70s. In the late 70s, YMO made a sound both danceable and dense; accessible and highly artistic. They knew how to utilize the fast-changing technological tools of the recording studio and make of them a coherent compositional statement with equal parts personality and innovation. In fact, the title of one of their best albums, Technodelic, also defines the YMO bent.
What, Me Worry (no discernable relation to MAD magazine that I can discover), is from 1982, a fertile time for the YMO composers. As with his previous albums, Yukihiro Takahashi exudes Belle Époque
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belle_%C3%89poque
romanticism, but absent are fin-de-siecle ideas of degeneration. There is an undeniable streak of optimism in his poetry, a connection with the ground of being, encouraging a cheerful responsibility:
"I don't want anything to do with anything
That isn't going to make the world a better place
To live in, you know what I mean
There just isn't enough time for that.
....
I don't know, I could be wrong, but
It seems to me it's all gonna work out."
A hint of transcendence haunts both the lyrics and the humming, buzzing, drones which provide an electronic approximation of the primordial "OM" sound:
"Here it comes again that sound
Echoing up out of the ground
Is it only me that can hear it?"
----Yukihiro Takahashi and Peter Barakin, "It's Gonna Work Out."
One reason this album succeeds is the supple but strong support of English electric guitarist and student of hermetic philosophy Bill Nelson. His focused use of harmonic feedback provides illumination--as in illuminated
www.google.com/search?q=illuminated+script&hl=en&...
script--for this sonic codex of Takahashi's music and poetics.
The other musicians are well-picked. They include the other YMO members, the soulful saxophonist, Mitsuru Sawamura, and a seasoned mix of Western and Japanese instrumentalists/vocalists. The mixing and engineering are masterful, thanks to the team of Steve Nye. Nye, a member of Penguin Café Orchestra, has production credits with Bryan Ferry, Frank Zappa, Japan, and David Sylvian. Clearly, he cared deeply about the presentation of this project.
I want to finish by sharing a video from Yukihiro Takahashi's just-previous release to this one, Neuromantic. "Something In The Air" helps show Takahshi's aesthetic sense better than can my words:

The man who got me into YMO in the first place, via a mysterious CD that showed up at my high school radio station office...
For their first (and perhaps last?) UK appearance since 1980, YMO were joined at the Royal Festival Hall by guitarist Christian Fennesz
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_Magic_Orchestra_(album)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_State_Survivor
After long years of searching these albums, I finally have these in my collection. My turntable is happy again. hehe
Probably my favorite YMO track. Apologies for the sloppy wandering camera. A security guard was nearby and I chickened out.
Japanese pressing on the Monad label, this is the man who started Yellow Magic Orchestra. A very ambient and spacious recording apparenlty there is an accomanying video piece, which I've not seen.
Dated 1980, which seems a bit tardy - wasn't Space Invaders out in '78?
Anyway, this features anything with even the vaguest spacey or sci-fi title, so you get everything from 'A Spaceman Came Travelling' by Chris de Burgh to 'Fireball' by Deep Purple!
There can't be many mainstream compilations that feature Hawkwind & Dollar, eh?
The whole band, plus their touring musicians (minus Cornelius, who was behind the speaker from where I was sitting)

I really love this track, and I was surprised to hear it performed, as it's pretty rare. Apologies for the sloppy wandering camera. A security guard was nearby and I chickened out.
