I honestly don't like this song. This isn't the Ryuichi Sakamoto I know.

Sakamoto is gorgeous.

I have to disagree. I think he's become less and less commercial over the years, though the music is amazing (remember, Britney is commercial). Yes, he has stuck to his principles, and I'm curious why you think that will change. People get more set in their ways as they get older, and I suspect when he needs a bit of cash, he'll do a commercial or something but leave his core music as true to himself as ever. Just my guess.

excellent, if only there was more "official" live product of David.

Have never seen Sylvian look so 'alive' .........and of course the voice is above all else lovely ...Sakamoto he s so great...saw him in London o many years ago..a very different concert...so entertaining even tho his voice is I think quite weak

I think in the end it may be inevitable for Sylvian. For years he has stuck to his principals. However he does not sell now. In order for him to carry on doing what he wants to do (i.e. artistic direction) he may have to do a Japan album and tour to make some $.

do you think that is the direction he will take? even though he plays old stuff we all want to hear on the tour, i wouldn't say he seems too interested in pleasing the masses...

The journey from heartbeat to blemish is over now for Sylvian. I feel he will come out of his introspective stage and suprise us all with something very much more accessable and commercial very soon. not that i don't like his music, i love it. just I feel that his message to the world needs a more commercial production to convey to the masses.

exactly, that's how i like it, "a guitar and that little choir of angels that seems to be living in his larynx.", beautiful thoughts :)
