Tokyo Melody: A Film about Ryuichi Sakamoto (4K Restoration) (MOViE MOViE: Life is Art 2025)
To commemorate the passing of beloved virtuoso Ryuichi Sakamoto, Tokyo Melody, a documentary that delves into the mind of the creative genius, has been restored in 4K four decades after its production. Hot off the success of electro trio Yellow Magic Orchestra and the release of his iconic debut original film score, Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence, the maestro shares intimate access to career-defining performances and recording sessions for the world to see
Inspired by the humming beat of 1980’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 20th century’s most fascinating artists.
