I remember the first time I heard this music,
it was playing on a Tokyo TV commercial,
many years ago.
I remember how it moved me, as all of Ryuichi's music did,
from his Yellow Magic Orchestra days, till present.
I stopped what I was doing to concentrate on this music...
I read of Ryuichi's battle with cancer,
and how he kept playing, as long as he could, until his recent passing.
