He was a composer for several classic anime movies including <cite>Wings of Honneamise<\/cite> and <cite>Appleseed<\/cite> as well as one of the members of Yellow Magic Orchestra, a pioneering Japanese electronica music group. I only discovered the YMO last year, when feeling nostalgic for <cite>Hibike Euphonium<\/cite> I went to watch clips of the music performances in it and found this clip again:\n<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DSRedzGWwao\" title=\"Hibike!

So I finally googled it and found out it was a Yellow Magical Orchestra song. <cite>Hibike Euphonium<\/cite> just turned it into a marching song. Having finally heard the original that turned out to be excellent as well.\n<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Yxep-gS-Btg\" title=\"Yellow Magic Orchestra \u2013 \u201cRydeen\u201c (Official Music Video)\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>\nThis is of course just the tip of the iceberg with regards to Ryuichi Sakamoto&#8217;s work. But without this song having been used in <cite>Hibike Euphonium<\/cite>, I might&#8217;ve never heard of him or the Yellow Magic Orchestra and that would&#8217;ve been a pity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anime News Network reports that musician and composer Ryuichi Sakamoto passed away on the 28th of March.
