About

Wewantsounds is delighted to announce the release of Ryuichi Sakamoto's classic LP Coda, issued in Japan in 1983 as a solo piano version of the "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence" soundtrack. The album, which was never been released outside of Japan until now, sees Sakamoto on acoustic piano reinterpreting fascinating versions of his famous soundtrack including the classic theme and "Germination," which was later used in the "Call Me By Your Name" soundtrack.

This is an essential listening for any Ryuichi Sakamoto fan, these versions showcase the depth of emotion in Sakamoto’s piano playing and his ability to express complex ideas, visuals, and environments without the use synthesizers or electronics. It’s no surprise that this solo piano format has been a fan favorite for decades. This reissue has been remastered by Seigen Ono's Saidera Mastering studio in Tokyo and boasts the original artwork plus a 8-page booklet with new liner notes by Andy Beta. — via Label
