Ryuichi Sakamoto， one of Japan's most prominent posers who scored films including “the Last Emperor，““the Sheltering Sky“ and “the Revenant，“ died on tuesday. he was 71.
日本最着名的作曲家之一坂本龙一（Ryuichi Sakamoto）于周二去世，终年71岁。他曾为《末代皇帝》、《遮蔽的天空》和《荒野猎人》等电影配乐。
mr. Sakamoto was beginning to achieve wide recognition in the early 1980s when the director Nagisa oshima asked him to co-star， alongside david bowie， in “merry christmas， mr. Lawrence，“ a 1983 film about a Japanese p.o.w. camp. mr. Sakamoto， having no background in acting， agreed under the condition that he could also score the film.
上世纪80年代初，坂本龙一开始获得广泛认可。当时，导演大岛渚（Nagisa oshima）邀请他与大卫·鲍伊（david bowie）一起主演电影《圣诞快乐，劳伦斯先生》，这部1983年上映的影片讲述的是一个日本战俘营的故事。坂本龙一没有表演经验，但还是同意了，条件是他可以同时承担影片配乐工作。
then came music for films by the director bernardo bertolucci. mr. bertolucci was demanding— he would shout “more emotional， more emotional!“ at the poser， and made him rewrite music on the fly during recording sessions with a 40-person orchestra— but “the Last Emperor“ won mr. Sakamoto an oscar in 1988.
接下来他还为导演贝尔纳多·贝托鲁奇（bernardo bertolucci）的多部电影配乐。贝托鲁奇非常苛刻，他会冲着这位作曲家大喊：“情绪不够！情绪不够！”，还让他在40人的乐团等着录制的情况下，临时修改乐曲。不过，《末代皇帝》这部电影为坂本龙一赢得了1988年的奥斯卡奖。
After the nuclear disaster at the Fukushima daiichi Nuclear power Station in 2011， mr. Sakamoto became an activist in Japan's antinuclear movement. he spoke at a protest outside the residence of Japan's prime minister.“I e here as a citizen，“ he said.“It's important that we all do what we can and raise our voices.“
2011年，福岛第一核电站发生核灾难后，坂本龙一成为日本反核运动活动家。在一次抗议活动中，他在日本首相府邸前发表讲话。“我作为一名公民站在这里，”他说。“我们都要尽自己所能，提高呼声，这很重要。”
In later years， mr. Sakamoto's music became increasingly spacious and ambient， attuned to the flow of time.“I wanted to hear the resonance，“ he said.
在晚年，坂本龙一的音乐变得越来越有空间感与氛围感，应和时间的流动。他说：“我想听到共鸣。”
he recorded what became his final album，“12，“ as a kind of diary of sketches， following a lengthy hospitalization， through 2021 and 2022.“I just wanted to be showered in sound，“ he said of the record.
从2021年到2022年，他经历了漫长的住院治疗，之后他录制了自己的最后一张专辑《12》，就像是他的日记片段。在谈到这张唱片时，他表示：“我只想沐浴在声音之中。”
