After finishing his recent Album ASYNC, Ryuichi SAKAMOTO felt that it was the soundtrack to a film that hadn’t been created yet. Therefore he announced an International Short Film Competition, encouraging filmmakers to create the visuals for his music. NIPPON CONNECTION presents SAKAMOTO’s personal winning pick as well as the ten winners of an online audience voting.
