There’s a league of musicians whose deaths have felt particularly earth-shattering, because of a na?ve, but widely shared, presumption that they would simply live on forever. That pantheon includes – to name but a few – David Bowie, Prince, MF DOOM, and now, Ryuichi Sakamoto.

Perhaps one of the reasons Sakamoto felt untouchable was that despite a breathtaking body of work built over several decades, and a life-changing throat cancer diagnosis in 2014, he never stopped working.
