BTW, I don't understand why this news about Sakamoto is reserved for the 'electronic music' thread only. There are people who don't read this thread but know him for The Last Emperor, The Sheltering Sky, Little Buddha, Silk, ...

Ryuichi deserves his own thread.

Yeah I was considering that as well. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hoping he recovers soon.

 

It doesn't seem Ryuichi thinks he will completely recover this time.

 

Sakamoto:

I hope I'm interpreting it wrongly.

Terrible news. My Sakamoto interest got another boost after I watched the excellent CODA documentary a few years ago, where he's also open about the throat cancer at the time - which now seems to have spread to the bowels, for some reason.
