“Art is long, life is brief.”

The music pioneer revealed in 2014 that he had been diagnosed with throat cancer and said a yr later that he “was in great shape.”

“Forgive me if this sounds corny,” wrote the late musician. “However the illness brought me a realization, which I’m truly thankful for. It truly is an indication from nature or heaven.”

“Taking this sign, I’ll make certain to avoid my old habits and treat my days left with the utmost care,” he added.

In 2021, Sakamoto said that his cancer had indeed returned.

“Any longer, I might be living alongside cancer,” wrote Sakamoto in a press release. “But, I’m hoping to make music for slightly while longer.”

Sakamoto’s former bandmate, Yukihiro Takahashi, also died this yr, succumbing to a brain tumor in Jan. 2023.

Each were a part of the influential electronic group Yellow Magic Orchestra, who helped popularize the genre within the late Seventies.
