12 Cinemas Premium Shinjuku, located inside Tokyu Kabukicho Tower, where the late Ryuichi Sakamoto served as sound supervisor for all of its theaters, will be holding the Ryuichi Sakamoto Premium Collection from Friday, December 20th.
12 Cinemas Premium Shinjuku, which has regularly screened works related to Sakamoto, will be holding this commemorative screening in conjunction with the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo's first large-scale exhibition of Sakamoto's work in Japan, "Sakamoto Ryuichi: Seeing Sound, Listening to Time" (December 21st - March 2025th, 3).


This special program includes Sakamoto's last recorded work, "Ryuichi Sakamoto | Opus," the newly reconstructed 5.1ch surround sound work "Ryuichi Sakamoto | Playing the Orchestra 2014" (pre-screening ahead of its nationwide release in January 2025), as well as new and old films for which Sakamoto has composed music, such as "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence" (35mm film), "The Last Emperor: 4K restoration of the theatrical release version," and "Monster," as well as his own documentary films, and the lineup also includes "Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives" and "MEMORIA," directed by Apichatpong Weerasethakul, the exhibition's collaborating artist.
You can experience the finest sound with the theater sound system "SAION -SR EDITION-" supervised by Mr. Sakamoto, which pursues clear and accurate sound and produces realistic and natural sound that makes you forget that there are speakers and a screen.
Why not enjoy this exquisite film in the space that Ryuichi Sakamoto has created?
