RS is a seemingly omnipresent, that is to say, ubiquitous Japanese music guru.
Releases orchestral, pop, and experimental works.
Just about everyone seems to have worked with him - Bill Laswell, Adrian
Belew, David Sylvian, all those Ninja cats on remixes, David Torn, Spooky,
on and on.
First claim to fame was via Yellow Magic Orchestra, Japanese answer to
Kraftwerk.
Sakamoto's output wanders over such diverse territory that I would expect
just about anyone will find at least some of the music to their liking.
