Ryuichi Sakamoto - 一命 Harakiri Death Of A Samurai
Review by Nicholas Anthony Martin
Ryuichi Sakamoto's album "一命 Harakiri Death Of A Samurai" is a hauntingly beautiful masterpiece that showcases the artist's immense talent and versatility. The album is a tribute to the samurai tradition of harakiri, or ritual suicide, and explores themes of honor, sacrifice, and redemption.
The album opens with the title track, which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its melancholic piano melody and haunting vocals. From there, the album takes the listener on a journey through a variety of moods and emotions, from the mournful "The Last Emperor" to the ethereal "Hibari" and the hauntingly beautiful "Still Life."
Sakamoto's mastery of the piano is evident throughout the album, and his use of traditional Japanese instruments and vocal styles adds an extra layer of depth and complexity to the music. The album is a true work of art, and a testament to Sakamoto's talent as a composer and musician.
