David Sylvian & Ryuichi Sakamoto - Bamboo Houses 

Listening to this whilst staying in Tokyo June 2024. Great memories.

Rest in Peace Ryuichi Sakamoto...😢😢😢

I met the " maestro" in venice film festival....a real gentleman......huge personality, beautiful person . Many Thanks Ryuichi! R.i.p.

I'm so in love with this track. From the instrumentation side there is a straight connection from the Technodelic/BGM-Twin through/over Bamboo Houses to the Furyo-Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence-OST. The handclaps, the drums, the prophet-5-"flute" (also the background-"droning"-sound in the "pause"-parts of the song at 2:27 for example). This is and was a masterpiece of songwriting ! RIP.....Ryuichi...and thanks for enrichening my life with music for over 4 decades 😢

This was my youth, living near Frankfurt and spending my nights at the Cookys night club. Wonderful it was.

同じ時代に生まれ、彼等の音楽に巡り会えた事を幸せに思います 教授とシルヴィアンの紡ぎ出す音楽はいつも私の心を震わせました… ふたりの演奏を私が生で聴けたのは「タイナイカイキ」だけだったけど、今も心の中の宝物です 心の中で、いつまでも続く音楽…

僕が大好きだった建物たち もうほとんど残っていない 小さくてやせ細った子供たちが歌っている 竹の歌が聞こえる それでも、人々の生活は続いている

Hypnotic and beautiful

Released as a 12" which I'm grateful to own.

What a great loss to music.

Here for the memories

What is most real for inspired musicians are the illusions they create with their music and pictures. The rest is just quicksand 😘

I loved it then and I still love it now and always will, cant get it out of my head since lock down xx

This is amazing!!! Thank you for sharing! ❤

This video is loaded with Easter eggs. Totally amazing that there is a billboard for Sudden Impact in the background. Clearly they loved LS. Anyone who dislikes this video are obviously trolls, have no appreciation for music production, or have some political bent. Sylvian is one lucky MF for getting to work with RS, one of the greatest. We are blessed to be living during this moment.

RIP

What a record ❤

Magnificent

This could so easily have come straight off the ‘Tin Drum’ album. A fantastic track. Is that Steve Jansen on the drums? One of the finest drummers in the business.

So beautiful

Found this AT LAST! Thank you

新宿アルタビジョンの「日本生命　ＹＯＵ」「体操」TOKYO MELODYの映像から引用されています。

歌詞の世界と会ってないけど、当時の坂本龍一周辺には日本や中国を感じるイメージがあったなあ。

この歌詞からいって、日本より東南アジアのイメージだろうに。

🧸💕🕯🙏🏼

I might cover this lol

Does anyone know what synth was used to create the flute-like sound?

Am I the only one having trouble everytime trying to play this video. Like the video would buffer if i skip the first 1min
