Ryuichi Sakamoto was born in Tokyo in 1952 and made his debut in 1978 with the album “Thousand Knives”. I am hoping that this is the beginning of the establishment of genuine democracy in Japan. It is essentially up to the people to make a decision regarding the energy issues. We are making a huge change from the old system. I think we are now reaching the turning point. I don’t think Japan was like this until now. In America, people are really interested in the politics because they want to know how the government will use our money. Now, many people are gaining more attention to how the government has used the money and more are concerned about what is to be done with the money in our future. The people of the village or town have most likely been informed of this fact, but I believe the people in other parts of Japan spent a long time without knowing anything. I wonder if the people have been given all the right information about nuclear power plants before they were built everywhere in Japan. Who will pay for that? Of course the Japanese people have to pay. It is really difficult to maintain them even thought there was no accident like 3.11. I don’t know where it is going, but it is true that we will eventually need to decommission them, and it will cost A LOT. So far, two reactors of Ohi nuclear power plants have been restarted. Meanwhile, we will have to decommission other nuclear power plants that have been used for a long time. It will take at least 20 or 30 years to settle down the problem of Fukushima alone. Even people who live outside Japan have been concerned about this incident through the news from the Internet including the amount of leaking radiation and coinciding health issues.

Since then, everyday has been a series of dangers. I believe that many people have noticed the danger of nuclear power plants after 3.11 in 2011. Unfortunately, I always go easy on myself. This sounds easy, but it is really difficult. Whether you are performing or composing music, you must make sure that you are satisfied with what you do. Rather, the most important thing is to question yourself if you are happy with what you write. I don’t try to write to be recognized by the world at all. Now I regret that I didn’t have the opportunity of listening to traditional music that has been cultivated in Japan for over a hundreds years. I thought of them as some sort of festival music, nothing special. I am from Tokyo but I don’t really have any memory of listening to “traditional Japanese music,” except for the fact that we would hear someone’s Koto (Japanese Harp) performance or Gagaku ( Japanese ancient imperial court music) on TV. Because I was born after World War II, I have grown up listening to all kinds of music. Unlike the period of national isolation, we have easier accessibility of information from all over the world. First of all, I must say that there is no border between Japan and the rest of the world now.
