A Visionary Encounter: KAGAMI Brings Ryuichi Sakamoto’s Legacy to Life

Ryuichi Sakamoto

One of the most groundbreaking performances of recent years, KAGAMI invites audiences to experience the genius of legendary Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto in a revolutionary new way. Running from February 19 to March 16, this mixed-reality performance is a collaboration between Sakamoto and pioneering technology group Tin Drum, creating an immersive spectacle unlike anything seen before.

Sakamoto, celebrated for his extensive musical career—from his influential electronic work with Yellow Magic Orchestra to his Oscar-winning film scores such as The Last Emperor—transcends traditional performance boundaries in KAGAMI. Using innovative mixed-reality technology, the show fuses three-dimensional moving images with the physical world, allowing audiences to witness Sakamoto perform in an intimate setting. Wearing augmented reality glasses, viewers are transported onto the stage alongside the artist, eliminating any divide between performer and audience.

This deeply moving production is more than just a concert; it is an unprecedented fusion of music, technology, and artistry that honors Sakamoto’s legacy. With praise from The Guardian, NME, and Manchester Evening News, KAGAMI has been lauded as a transformative experience that redefines live performance.

Supported by the Naomi Milgrom Foundation and Wilson Lai and Anita Wong, KAGAMI is a must-see event for music lovers, technology enthusiasts, and those seeking a truly unique cultural experience. With limited tickets available, this is an opportunity to witness the future of performance art while paying tribute to one of the world’s most influential musicians.
