Artwork for the album was created by renowned artist Lee Ufan for whom Sakamoto has enormous respect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eComment from \u003cstrong\u003eRyuichi Sakamoto\u003c\/strong\u003e: \"\u003cem\u003eIn early March 2021, after a major surgery and a long hospital stay, I returned to my new temporary home. At the end of March, when my body was recovering a little, I happened to touch the synthesizer. I wasn't conscious of what to make, I just wanted to be bathed in 'sound'. It felt like it healed a little bit of the damage to my body and mind. Until then, I didn't have the physical strength to listen to music, let alone make sounds, but from that day on, I would occasionally touch the synthesizer and piano keyboards and record sketches as if I were writing a diary. I chose 12 sketches that I liked and put them into an album. I dare to present it as it is without doing anything. I will continue to keep a diary like this until I run out of energy.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Commmons","offers":[{"title":"Black LPx2","offer_id":50478714552651,"sku":"2003203","price":159.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50478717370699,"sku":"2003609","price":37.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50478716191051,"sku":"2003608","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/image001_44a76d58_thumbnail_4096.png?v=1727489549","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/45973","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
