R.I.P. legendary Japanese composer, record producer, and actor RYUICHI SAKAMOTO January 17, 1952 – March 28, 2023

I am paying tribute to Ryuichi Sakamoto in the first 2 hours of the program today, and then 7-8 will be dedicated to the late Seymour Stein with bands he signed to Sire Records

The Fight (Coda) reminds me a little of Raymond Scott's "Powerhouse"!

Afternoon Liz, beauty songs that's crystal fresh as the night blue sky

Hi Ossy! haha, yeah this song especially!

@Ossy - This is the SECOND member of Yellow Magic Orchestra to die in the past several months! Yukihiro Takahashi passed away on 1/11/2023 and now Sakamoto! Now only Haruomi Hosono remains

I am playing a couple YMO songs I played for the Takahashi tribute I did in January, but most of my tribute today is other Sakamoto songs

Awesome and though hearing of them for the first time, I instantly enjoying their music! Prayers for Haruomi to be protected!

Awesome tribute of Yukihiro Takahashi months earlier, and saw him on Grammys tribute, along with Christina Mcvee

@Ossy - Thanks! Yeah, I gotta go back and watch that tribute. I usually skip The Grammys but there are always a couple ppl in those tributes that I forgot died in the last year!

The tribute there was serene magical!

@Ossy - YEah, both Sakamoto and Takahashi had cancer. Haroumi Hosono seems to be doing okay by all accounts... He played some live shows in 2019.

I think I also saw the cute Irene Cara too!

BTW, Ossy, Haroumi Hosono composed a lot of early Namco video game soundtracks! He also composed the theme song for Hayao Miyazaki's Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind

this song is filled with creeping dread

Doomin’

@George - Truly

it goes nicely with the overcast skies and wind

The bell tolls for you

Hi Andrew!

good evening!

@Andrew - Yes, a fitting score for the impending rainstorm that's creeping across area satellites

Greetings and salutations all!

Hi Number 6!

@George - In addition to Sakamoto's influence on David Sylvian, I feel like I hear quite a bit of Sakamoto influence on Tuxedomoon's music.

I knew ill have a feeling Haroumi Hosono will be involved in something like Hayao Miyazaki films and never knew he was in Namco, which I was looking at some Pac-Man and his wife, that has glamorous lipstick like Pauline from Mario!

It looks like some of us will be going back in the studio soon, then all DJs will have the Magic Secret Decoder, which presently reads 107 online listeners!

I was comparing Pac-Man to that ball dog-like monster, Chain Chomp.

@Number 6 - Yes, onward to Barge

The ship has landed!

@Ossy - Oh yeah, Chain-Chomp is a LOT like Pac-Man!

Interestingly, the monster even has a gold variant!!!!! https://www.mariowiki.com/Gold_Chomp

@Number - The Barge has docked!

This song feels VERY similar to a soundtrack from Super Mario World and 2!

My favorite one !

<3 rip

Hi Guelo! I love Simoon too! Such a fun irreverent erotica-influenced song!

@Ossy - oh yeah, I could see that! Well the composers of those game soundtracks are most definitely influenced by Sakamoto!

@Ossy - Sadly that 1984 compilation of Haroumi Hosono NAMCO video game music is unavailable everywhere! I want a copy of that so badly!

This song makes me happy

Good evening, all. Missed the first hour but I'm really happy that you're doing this, Lizbot.

Sidenote: Sakamoto's bandmate and fellow YMO-founder Haroumi Hosono, last surviving member of Yellow Magic Orchestra after the deaths of Sakamoto a week ago and Yukihiro Takahashi in January 2023, was named by an artist I don't care about but whose music is EVERYWHERE, esp this year, Harry Styles, who named Hosono's early solo album "Hosono House" a bit influence on his Grammy Album of the Year winning Harry's House album...I don't hear much influence other than in the title!

Hi TAndy! I'm glad you made it here!

This is UNREAL 🌌🌌🌌

Hi Jimboo! I'm glad you're digging it!

This song is so gooooooood

Hi DSM! Yeah, I feel like I'm progressing through some digital landscape while pixelated beasts prance on the sidelines when I listen to Neue Tanz

Lizbot, Harry Sytles also had that Richard Brautigan reference in his Watermelon Sugar song, so maybe he's hipper than we'd give him credit for

More Adrian Belew collaborating with Sakamoto on this song!

@DSM - haha, I think he owns some good records, and I don't mind his Harry's House album but I don't wanna own it!

Hello and good evening

Hi Rob from Maryland!

@DSM - I don't need to own it. It's in the air everywhere in every cab and store anyway!

Hi Lizbot (host)!

That "chop chop chop" type percussion? thing from the last song is also in a Wang Chung song off the Live and Die in LA soundtrack and I'm just a sucker for it! I wonder if it had a name. I think it's also on the Tony Carey Explorer album. Just a cool sound they played with during that time in synth land I guess

@Rob - I hope you're enjoying all the spring bird activity! We have doves nesting over the door to our yard, and cardinals nesting on the bush next to our side door!

Lizbot, I'm not sure I've ever actually heard a Harry Styles song! tho I probably have and just don't realize it

whilst at Chipotle

I occasionally see red cardinals, blue jays and yellow chafinchies in the neighborhood

@DSM - Now I gotta listen to those three songs back to back! Sakamoto scored a LOT of films over the years. I don't know if he scored to Live and Die in LA, but I'll check. Either way, it must've been a popular synth!

My guess is everyone was probably ripping off Sakamoto!

@Ossy - Nice! There is a drab brown female cardinal and a bright red male who babies haven't hatched yet on the bush 6 inches from my door and every time I toss recycling or go out the door they flit from the bush to the tree across my driveway, which is great because I can see them out my kitchen window in that tree. I've even broken out my birdwatching binoculars a few days ago to watch them in that tree

@DSM - Oh, definitely he was a musician's musician!

@Lizbot, how nice! I don't know where our doves or cardinals are nesting (yet). My wife spied a male cowbird on top of the fire hydrant when came home this afternoon

@Lizbot, your cardinals already have eggs?! Wow!

@DSM - You most likely heard the utterly ubiquitous single from Harry's House "And It Was" because that thing is just drifting in the air. I heard it in Mexico. I hear it in pharmacies and cabs and everywhere

Ugh this is so good

Ossy, cool! (the yellow birds are goldfinches though)

@Rob from Maryland - I haven't even seen eggs yet, just them building the nest

@TAndy - I'm glad you like it!

I hate how we keep losing such valuable and talented musicians these past years.

@Lizbot, ah. Having eggs even here near DC seems really early

@Lizbot, my wife and I are both enjoying the show right now!

@Rob from Maryland - And the dove couple that for many years always nested in that same bush seem to have been ousted by this cardinal pair because now they are nesting in the curved and too-narrow ledge over my back door and it's NOT a good spot! They started nesting there last year and the nest fell with all the unhatched eggs splattering on my doorstep! They don't seem to have good memories because they just built a nest there AGAIN in the past week and a half and it already fell, but w/o egg

Lizbot I just googled "And It Was" and yes, I have definitely heard that A LOT. Weird how that happens and you don't even know who it is

That 1984 compilation of Haroumi Hosono NAMCO video game music seems to be available on Discogs, but it ain't cheap.

@Lizbot, that's sad. Doves aren't the brightest birds, unfortunately

Excellent sounds on such a somber occasion. Rest in peace, Mr. Ryuichi Sakamoto 💔

Hi Lizbot! Hey folks. Yippie!!! I Went down the Schuylkill River Trail with my new phone with an FM gizmo on it and it worked great! I only went about a mile or so past the boathouses, but it worked awesome! I am really jazzed about that. Just sayin...

😄

@Rob from Maryland - I'm glad yr wife has tuned in as well! At least the doves didn't lay their eggs yet before the nest fell this year! I haven't seen them return since it fell a few days ago, so I hope they found a more suitable spot, but I'll miss watching their fledglings perch on my stair railing like they did every year until last year!

Hi Rofflestomp!

WPRB loud and clear

Hi Christine! Truly a great composer. Did you see the doc "Coda" about him from 2017? Good stuff

@Number 6 - Damn, yeah, that's not cheap at all! Argh. I am hoping to find a cheaper copy!

Hi Lizbot 🤖, Rogfle, DSM, Rob from MD, TAndy, Number 6, Ossy, jimboo, Guelo, Andrew & all!

I never saw that documentary, @Lizbot. I'll have to add that to my list!

THIS

You did a public service, @Roffle. Bringing WPRB to the SRT. 🚲 🎶

@DSM - Yeah, top 40 songs that ubiquitous in songs and everywhere become like white noise and you stop noticing them!

I love how triumphant this song is!

@Rofflestomp - The Schuylkill River Trail must be GORGEOUS with all the cherry blossoms in bloom right now! My husband [who randomly also just replaced his phone] was expressing a desire to bring his bike down there and ride the trail. Cherry Blossom Festival is returning to Fairmount Park in a week!!

@Lizbot, and they smell wonderful too!

Definitely took some pictures to send to my son.

🌸 🌸 🌸 too bad the Cherry Blossom Festival weekend is not this weekend instead of next.

@Rofflestomp - Nice! I am SO excited for Sakura Sunday at Cherry Blossom Festival! Blossoms, bands all day long, crafts, picnics, etc.! It's always such a lovely early spring event, weather-permitting! AND it's the first time they've brought it back since 2019! My fam & I always go and I've been missing it these past few years!

@Christine - I know!! I think that couldn't have it during Easter, but I'm worried the blossoms will be gone!

The cherry blossom trees in my neighborhood have already reached peak bloom, and are starting to shed. Probably the only tree matter I don't mind calling on my car :)

Awesome! I Must check that out!

Oh yeah, it's Easter weekend. That's right.

I love the video game sound in that cover!

https://japanphilly.org/programs/festivals/cherryblossom/

I'll love to attend the smelly good sakura cherry blossom tree festivals 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸💖💖💖💖💖💖

Hi Christine!

TAndy, the pollening is coming....

The compilation is available on youtube, ripe for the taking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49ZK_EVWIBM

There's also a very good collection of VGM on vinyl for the other vinyl nerds on here: https://www.discogs.com/release/11210077-Various-Diggin-In-The-Carts-A-Collection-Of-Pioneering-Japanese-Video-Game-Music

wow I just heard B-2 Unit for the first time recently. What an awesome tribute set.

can't wait to get into some YMO

Newbie Listener here... Really enjoying your generous tribute to R. Sakamoto today! Thanks so much for this... Really dig your show!

Hi Tomi from PARTS UNKNOWN - I'm glad you're enjoying it! B-2 Unit is a great album. Enjoy your deep-dive into YMO's discography!

Hi Michael Okum! Thanks so much! I'm glad to find others who appreciate the genius of Ryuichi Sakamoto!

@ Lizbot (host) Although I was aware of Ryuichi Sakamoto's talent (eg., Oscar and Grammy-winning soundtrack to The Last Emperor) it was through your show and others on WPRB that i got turned onto the Yellow Magic Orchestra and his wondrous music in general. A great loss, but so much value left to us. Thank you, Ryuichi-san! You were ichi-ban!

@Number 6 - Oooh nice!! I gotta get to that later! Thanks for the link!

Hi Richard from Rocky Hill! - Nice! I am glad WPRB gave you a deeper exposure to his work!

@Ossy - I love that sakura smell! It's beautiful along the Schuylkill banks, Fairmount Park and also Morris Arboretum right now!

Sonic genesis sounding!

@TAndy - For real! I love a confetti of cherry blossoms in my yard and on my car! I have one lovely old cherry blossom tree and I am so grateful for it!

@Ossy - haha, you definitely are hearing all the video game soundtrack influences here! Sakamoto is such a huge influence in that world

This song directly responsible for how ZUN-chan approached music for his Touhou game series.

Lizbot- Same, love the aromatic scent and natural pink color of the Sakura trees and indeed hearing LOADS of video game sounding music like Milky Way!

@TAndy - Good to know! And I will checking THAT out later!

@Ossy - yes! What do you think of sakura as a flavor? I have had sakura mochi I liked but the sakura tea I tried last year was a bit...off

It's a lot, Lizbot I must warm you. There are loads of official games out with large soundtracks, but the 6th game is where it got really popular so that soundtrack may be a good starting point.

Also thousands of hours of fan music alone

@TAndy - I am always interested in picking up more good game soundtracks. Oh, I'm SURE there is a ton of fan music! That tends to happen with any popular game series. I love the odder soundtracks. Still love all the Katamari Damacy stuff

I still need to watch this film

@TAndy - SUGGESTED DOUBLE-FEATURE IN HONOR OF RYUICHI SAKAMOTO!: Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence flowed by Coda (the documentary)

👁️

Sounds like a great idea, @Lizbot. 📺 🎬 📺 I'll check Kanopy to see if either are on there.

Very nice ID here hahah

I haven't tried sakura as any type of taste, but from its smells alone, I bet it'll be aesthetic to taste!

Do they also have sakura gummies? I saw some Japanese strawberry/cherry flavored snacks and some tea, as well

👏👏👏 Tibute to, and Ryuichi Sakamoto himself 👏👏👏

@DSM - He was a one of those people I always enjoyed reading and listening to interviews of- so thoughtful and funny. I forgot to tell my favorite Sakamoto anecdote on air today!: This is SUCH a baller move, and I admire it as a DJ: He was eating in his favorite restaurant in NYC and he didn't like the music they regularly played, so he made them a lengthy soundtrack to dine to and they were flattered and changed their music to that!!

There are Sakura Kit Kats, but I've never had one. 🌸 I wonder if they'll be available at the Maido booth, since they're a fantastic store carrying all sorts of Japanese delicacies.

This right here 💙

We have 150 online listeners, wow!

@Number 6- nice!

That's amazing, the soundtrack to dine to, story

1️⃣ 5️⃣ 0️⃣ 🔮

@Christine - I have seen those! Nice color to them, but I think I'll pass! I HAVE tried the green tea kit-kats from Maido Japanese Market in Ardmore. They have sakura too I believe. You can buy a whole mini kit-kat sampler of all the Japanese flavors from a few sellers

Speaking of games, viewer/listener counts and etc. That Mario Movie Illumination got more than 99 1-up green mushrooms(many watchers and the box office)

@Ossy - I bet there are sakura gummies based on how many Japanese gummies I've seen. I love the smell, but, like with lavender candies - love the smell, hate the taste!

MBV 💙💙💙💙💙💙

@TAndy - TOO MANY bands Stein signed to even touch the surface!

@TANdy - Did you get to that MBV show at the Fillmore in 2018? I was there and I think I lost some hearing!

Speaking of reunion shows...LILYS played this song on Night #1 of their two-night (long-delayed) reunion a month ago at the Latvian Society and it was GREAT!

I didn't learn about MBV till two years ago. I would love to see them live

Broadcast! ❤️❤️❤️

Hi Steve Volaric! Yeah, I listened to this album heavily driving back and forth from my parents' house to college when this came out

@Steve V - I miss Trish Keenan

Me too.

Hi Christine!

Hi Rob! 🦅 Seen any cool birds lately?

@lizbot - that lilys show was fantastic! i went to the first night too.

Earplugs seem to be de rigure at a lot of shows apparently.

Earplugs 100%

@Andrew Gruen - SO good! I was so happy that show finally happened! Great venue, too! Such oddball art in the Latvian Society! I saw Pig Iron Theatre Co do Chekhov Lizardbrain there many years ago. The projected light show by Klip Collective at the Lilys show added to vibe. Kurt was glowing all kinds of colors!

i haven't gone without earplugs for the past 20 years

@Number 6 - For real. Some more than others! MBV was bonkers loud

I still sometimes listen to my own music really loudly but when I go to a concert I'll always wear a earplugs, even if it's outdoor and audio levels are ok. Don't want more tinnitus

the little bar there had such a nice vibe too

Earplugs are cheap on ebay, never leave home without them.

There have been times where venues had none and I would have to fashion earplugs out of toilet paper

The older you get, the more you need them.

❤️🧡💛 Erasure 💚💙💜🖤🤎

The more you appreciate venues with chairs, too.

@Number 6, I have various varietes of earplugs and they are in all my backpacks along with neoprene gloves and masks :)

@Andrew Gruen - yes! I bought some back-issues of maggotbrain music magazine and had a tea in that little side room with the strange paintings of animals before the show! Kurt Vile was down there just receiving his fans. I came for Heasley, but it can't hurt to have a bonus Kurt!

@Number 6 - I think I'm finally reckoning with the hearing loss I suffered from carelessness at shows in my 20s!

WHAT?

👂

YES

I usually have to bring a pillow to augment the comfort level of the chair too.

@Christine - Speaking of Erasure, I heard Bronski Beat's Small-town Boy at a bar in Mexico, with of course Erasure's Jimmy Somerville

I do bring earplugs to concerts now, and a couple extra pairs for my neighbors.

Lizbot, that's awesome! What a vibe that bar must have had.

omg I'm so used to the Chipmunks on 16 speed version of this now that I was like why is this so fast?!

Sometimes I would spend days in El Paso and listened to a lot of Mexican radio. Some is quite good.

@Christine - That's thoughtful of you! I don't usually think of it, but George does!

@Christine - This bar had delicious beetroot steak I'm still dreaming about!

@DSM - haha, YES I DO bring that slowed down one out on occasion! Makes me laugh!

@Number 6 - No chairs at The Fillmore. I wish! I was sleepy that night and climbed on a rolled up mat against the wall, but that was less comfortable than normal standing!

Took my kid to a Warpaint concert at the Rainbow in Portland OR, and no chair for the under 21 crowd. Not the best venue.

The Fillmore has a high score for toilet facilities, and how many bars there are distributed throughout, imo. They could use some chairs, I agree.

Ever since Brian Turner posted about his interview of Seymour Stein, when I hear Echo & The Bunnymen I think about Seymour Stein's huge crush on Ian McCulloch!

🔪 🌕 ☠️

@Christine - I don't know why, but the Fillmore kinda bums me out. And there are not great sightlines...too wide

I gotta bail for the zoom meeting. The final numbers are 140, until tomorrow, BCNU!

Goodnight, Number 6

@Rofflestomp - haha, yeah I LOVE The Mann and The Met these days and their sweet, sweet seating!

Goodnight, Number 6! Thanks for joining! I'll be getting to that meeting a little late I guess!

The Met is pretty wonderful.

Thanks Lizbot! Great tributes tonight.

@Christine - I WISH I'd seen the Patti Smith show there!

Thanks DSM!

Thank you, Lizbot! 🤖 🌠

Thanks for listening, Christine!

@Christine, there was a male cowbird perched on the fire hydrant a couple of houses down the hill from me. Otherwise, some returning birds like swallows and Ospreys

How are you?

Spectacular conversation and tribute, as always Liz!

Thank you, Lizbot, for tonight's show!

Thanks Rob!

Thanks Ossy!

@Rob, thst's awesome. I am good 🙃

See you all next week, I hope! If artists I love stop dying for a moment, I'll FINALLY get to that Mexico bands show next week!

Nice to hear you and M Mouse down by the river Lizbot. Thanks for the tunes!

Hopefully you will, Lizbot!

Thanks, Rofflestomp!

Thank you Lizbot!!!

And stay tuned everyone for some exciting MEMBERSHIP DRIVE announcements in the coming week!

Thanks, TAndy!
