Celebrate the legacy of Ryuichi Sakamoto with Opus, a definitive collection curated by the composer himself. Spanning decades of groundbreaking work, this anthology brings together iconic film scores, Yellow Magic Orchestra classics, and deeply personal compositions that reflect Sakamoto's singular musical voice. Featured tracks include "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence," "Andata," and "Aqua," alongside never-before-recorded pieces such as "for Jóhann" (a tribute to Jóhann Jóhannsson), "BB" (dedicated to Bernardo Bertolucci), and "20180219" (featuring prepared piano).

Pressed at 45RPM across four heavyweight LPs for exceptional audio fidelity, each disc is housed in its own jacket with matching black paper dust sleeves. The set is encased in a hand-crafted textured slipcase with elegant black-foil detailing and includes a collector's booklet with composition notes and credits. Opus is more than a retrospective; it's a final statement from one of the most influential composers of our time.
