Ryuichi Sakamoto (1952-2023)

Ryuichi Sakamoto (1952-2023)

Ryuichi Sakamoto’s first taste of fame was in the late 1970s, when his band Yellow Magic Orchestra competed with Kraftwerk to become the kings of electro-pop. With synthesiser tracks like “Heroic Raydeen” (a reference to an old anime show), the YMO set the standards for electronic music around the world, kick-starting a boom that has […]

Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman

Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman

This animated feature based on six Haruki Murakami short stories comes not, as you might expect, from Japan, but rather from one of the few other countries that can reasonably be said to have an animation industry: France. Writer-director Pierre Földes, whose father Peter is an award-winning animator, further confounds expectations by […]

Manga: Cyberpunk Peach John

Manga: Cyberpunk Peach John

By Jonathan Clements. Ironically, there is nothing new about the plot of Rootport’s Cyberpunk Peach John. Despite a media frenzy about the way it was created, a year’s worth of colour artwork assembled in just a couple of months by a pseudonymous creator using artificial intelligence software, the story itself is as old as the […]
