Let's make this birthday one to remember.

73 years old (Born on January 17, 1952)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Ryuichi Sakamoto! From pioneering electronic music with Yellow Magic Orchestra, to crafting unforgettable film scores like "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence" and "The Last Emperor," your melodies have become timeless classics. Your recent works continue inspiring generations, proving that genius truly never ages.

Whether you're experimenting boldly or quietly redefining musical boundaries, you always strike a perfect chord—literally! May your birthday be filled with laughter as harmonious as your compositions and cake sweeter than any melody you've created. Here's hoping this year brings even more success—and fewer people mispronouncing 'Sakamoto.' Cheers to you!
