for a first time movie score composer, Sakamoto Ryuichi / 坂本龍 一 is quite impressive, he also starred in the movie opposite David Bowie in 'Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence' (1983)
i admire his huge talent as Both a composer and actor, great talent, Great work (how can he did Both job in the same time is beyond me)
he performed the music he wrote for 'Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence' in 2016 with Brussels PhihO, he was 64, 33 years after 'Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence'

i'm not too crazy about the movie, but it was directed by Oshima Nagisa, you know him; director of 'In the Realm of Senses'
before 1983, Sakamoto was writing and performing for his own band, 'Yellow Magic Orchestra', a kind of Japanese Rick Wakeman
YMO, 'Behind the Mask'; song written by Sakamoto Ryuichi 坂本龍一
