Tokyo Melody
To commemorate the first year after the passing of beloved virtuoso Ryuichi Sakamoto, comes the 4K restoration of TOKYO MELODY, an invitation into the mind of the creative genius, four decades after its original filming. Hot off the success of electro trio Yellow Magic Orchestra and the release of his iconic debut score, Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence, the maestro shares intimate access to these career-defining performances and recording sessions for the world to see.
Inspired by the humming beat of 80’s metropolitan Tokyo, with Sakamoto’s transgressive style and defiant curiosity on full display, TOKYO MELODY provides a rare look into the complex mind and artistry of one of the most fascinating artists of the 20th century.
