A Happy New Year! This year, I'll try to study harder than last year!
This week, I read The Korea Times, which is Korean news paper, because I'm going to visit Seoul for sightseeing in a week! I read an article about Ryuichi Sakamoto.
The article is as follow:
The New Year kicks off with an array of star-studded events, including a much-awaited tour by Academy Award-winning artist Ryuichi Sakamoto on Sunday. The Seoul Arts Center recital marks the pianist-composer return to Korea
The prolific musician is known for critically acclaimed film scores and electronica experiments, new wave rock numbers as well as bossa nova and classical romanticism in the tradition of Debussy — but moreover infuses a distinct style that makes his pieces his very own, regardless of the genre.
Do you know Ryuichi Sakamoto? He is a Japanese musician. I’ll show his profile.
Sakamoto rose to international prominence through the group “Y.M.O” in the late 1970s (Eric Clapton famously sampled their music). Afterward as a solo artist he ventured into various musical styles, from working on synth-heavy collaborations with Korean media artist Nam-june Paik as well as Iggy Pop to Italian futurists and pop artists such as Dee Dee Brave, David Sylvian and Marco Prince.
In the 1990s he worked on the music for prominent filmmakers including Pedro Almodovar a Bernando Bertolucci. He also worked on bossa nova projects with the genre pioneer Antonio Carlos Jobim in Rio de Janeiro.He is famous for the music of “Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence”.

Of course I know him, but I don’t know that he is also famous in Korea
Another musician who flourishes in the world is Jo Hisaishi, I think. Do you know him? He is so famous for the music of Ghibli movies. Without his music, the movie would be boring one.
There are many Japanese who success in the world. For example, Hideki Matsui and Ichiro, baseball players are popular in America. Also, Yoji Yamamoto is a famous fashion maker. These days, Akira Suzuki, a professor of Hokkaido University won a Novel prize!
I want to success in the world following them!
I have a question. Who is famous Japanese in China? I have no idea. Let's ask alf!
Lee Hyo-won. " Ryuichi Sakamoto to experiment with piano"

I first heard Ryuichi Sakamoto's music in the late 1970's when he was a member of the Yellow Magic Orchestra. They had a song that was fairly popular in the discotheques at the time. Since then he has gone on to greater success.
