Ryuichi Sakamoto’s new exhibition “sakamotocommon OSAKA 1970/2025/Osaka/Ryuichi Sakamoto” has opened today (August 30, 2025) at VS. in Osaka.
https://t.co/rsKXLeN5b0
The specially produced vinyl “Ryuichi Sakamoto: Playing the Baschet”, created to accompany the exhibition, was initially made available exclusively at the venue due to the limited number of copies in the first pressing. However, we have already confirmed multiple cases of resale on secondary market sites. Therefore, we have decided to move forward with a made-to-order production. Once preparations are complete, we will ensure the recording is available directly to everyone who wishes to obtain it. We kindly ask that you refrain from purchasing through secondary market sites.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
* Details for orders will be announced via our official SNS outlets and website once preparations are complete.
