Earlier today (April 2), it was revealed that boundary-pushing Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto died late last month at age 71, after years of living with cancer.

Although devastated with the news, I've put together a humble tribute mix that aims to celebrate the genius career of the pioneering Japanese musician and composer.

“Ars longa, vita brevis
Art is long, life is short”

— Ryuichi Sakamoto
