Ryuichi Sakamoto’s Minamata score set for vinyl release

Haunting orchestrals from the maestro pianist.

Ryuichi Sakamoto is releasing his score for the 2020 film Minamata, via Milan Records this July.

Directed by Andrew Levitas, Minamata follows a war photographer who travels to Japan to investigate the poisoning of the inhabitants of a fishing village called Minamata.

Alongside Sakamoto’s orchestral score, the vinyl release also includes end credits song ‘One Single Voice’ — featuring Welsh mezzo-soprano Katherine Jenkins.
