“Solitude” was created for the movie “Tony Takitani” (directed by Jun Ichikawa). It is also played in the feature-length concert film “Ryuichi Sakamoto | Opus” (2024), which records Ryuichi Sakamoto’s last solo piano performance, and has been played many times in past piano solo concerts. This is one of the songs. Although the song sounds like simple phrases being repeated, it was surprisingly difficult to make each note resonate evenly and with distinctness, and I had a hard time recording “Opus” when I was low on physical strength and strength. In commemoration of the long-awaited first analog release of the original soundtrack of “Tony Takitani”, it is now available for the first time on Ryuichi Sakamoto’s official score site. This is a piano score that I carefully finished myself for the performance in “Opus”.
