    vi Sakamoto (坂本 龍一, Sakamoto Ryūichi, born January 17, 1952) (Japanese


    pronunciation: [sakamoto ɾʲɯːitɕi]) is a Japanese composer, singer, songwriter, record producer,
    activist, and actor who has pursued a diverse range of styles as a solo artist and as a member
    of Yellow Magic Orchestra (YMO). With his bandmates Haruomi Hosono and Yukihiro
    Takahashi, Sakamoto influenced and pioneered a number of electronic music genres.[1]
    Sakamoto began his career while at university in the 1970s as a session musician, producer, and
    arranger. His first major success came in 1978 as co-founder of YMO. He concurrently pursued a
    solo career, releasing the experimental electronic fusion album Thousand Knives in 1978. Two
    years later, he released the album B-2 Unit. It included the track "Riot in Lagos", which was
    significant in the development of electro and hip hop music.[2][3][4] He went on to produce more solo
    records, and collaborate with many international artists, David Sylvian, Carsten Nicolai, Youssou
    N'Dour, and Fennesz among them. Sakamoto composed music for the opening ceremony of the
    1992 Barcelona Olympics, and his composition "Energy Flow" (1999) was the
    first instrumental number-one single in Japan's Oricon charts history.[5]
    As a film-score composer, Sakamoto has won an Oscar, a BAFTA, a Grammy, and 2 Golden
    Globe Awards.[6] Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence (1983) marked his debut as both an actor and a
    film-score composer; its main theme was adapted into the single "Forbidden Colours" which
    became an international hit. His most successful work as a film composer was The Last
    Emperor (1987),[7] after which he continued earning accolades composing for films such as The
    Sheltering Sky (1990), Little Buddha (1993), and The Revenant (2015). On occasion, Sakamoto
    has also worked as a composer and a scenario writer on anime and video games. In 2009, he
    was awarded the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres from the Ministry of Culture of France for his
    contributions to music.[8]
