TOKYO MELODY is indeed a wonderful documentary. I loved hearing his views on music and Japanese culture in general.

While I didn't get to see one of these last concerts, I was fortunate to catch Sakamoto on tour a couple decades back when he was promoting BTTB and CINEMAGE. The venue was the TLA in Philadelphia and he did a brief DJ set before taking his place behind one of the two pianos on stage. (The second was a prepared one, which he switched to for two or three pieces in the middle of the set.) That's an evening I'll never forget.
