坂本龍一さんは今ちょうどヨーロッパツアーの真っ最中。先月ベルリンでそのツアーのリハーサルとコンサートの撮影のチャンスをいただけました。この素晴らしいチャンスをくださった坂本さんに心から感謝したいです。間近で坂本さんのピアノを聴きながら写真を撮れるなんて、ホンマにラッキー。今まで坂本さんの音楽はCDでしか聴いた事がなかったんですが、今回リハーサルとコンサートに同行させていただいて、ご本人にお会いした上でその場で実際に鳴るピアノ音を体感できた事で、また今までとは全く違った次元の理解を得る事ができた。美しかった。。感動でした。坂本さん、本当にありがとうございました。楽しかった！残りのツアーも素晴らしいものになりますように。
Now Ryuichi Sakamoto-san is in the middle of his Europe tour. Last month I had a chance to shoot him during his rehearsal and concert in Berlin. I'd like to thank you to Sakamoto-san for giving me this amazing opportunity. I was super lucky that i had a chance to shoot him in really close distance while he was playing a piano. I had only listened to his music on CDs before, but this time i met him in front of me listening his real piano sound gave me another dimension of understanding about his music. it was really really beautiful.. Thank you so much Sakamoto-san!

Did you talk about a collaboration opportunity?
His works (such as he did with Alva Noto) would perfectly meet yours
Wonderful scoots! It was my deepest dream to listen to a Maestro Sakamoto performance live, and I had my soul food in Milan at Arcimboldi's.
I'll never forget the emotional event, a kind of mistic reunion of armony and future...in my tears the reflection of pure art and genius.
滅多にない機会に遭遇されたことを羨ましく思います。
最後の写真の教授の笑顔が素敵ですね＾＾
Beautiful shots - really capture an atmosphere of tranquility, even in a busy tour.
I'm grateful for any details on his performances as I won't be able to see any of his UK shows :(
(I hope you don't mind but I put a thumbail of the second shot in a blog post about these, linked back here of course)

thanks for your comment.
>Did you talk about a collaboration opportunity?
no, we have no plan to work together so far, but we talked about my remix of one of his works. and this helped me a lot to finish it.
