Ryuichi Sakamoto Video "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence"

Ryuichi Sakamoto Live at the Knitting Factory

Back in 1996, I was producing and directing a live multicamera shoots of musicians and bands performing at the Knitting Factory . . . and luckily for me, I was blessed with having the opportunity to work with many different artists! Here is the esteemed Ryuichi Sakamoto supporting his album 1996. This is one of the songs he and his trio performed that night - Bibo No Aozora which was originally released on the 1996 album but would make it's way onto the Babel soundtrack. (jcnrad on You Tube)
