Toshiyuki Tsuchitori & Ryuichi Sakamoto - Disappointment-Hateruma

2026
Wewantsounds is delighted to announce the first reissue of Disappointment–Hateruma, the 1976 ALM Records release by percussionist Toshiyuki Tsuchitori and Ryuichi Sakamoto. The album is notable as Sakamoto’s first recording issued under his own name and represents one of the few occasions he explored fully improvised music during the 1970s. It provides a vital document for understanding Sakamoto’s early development as a composer and performer, capturing a period when he was experimenting with ambient soundscapes and textured improvisation. This edition features original artwork, audio remastered by Heba Kadry and new liner notes by Andy Beta.

- Very first Ryuichi Sakamoto album released under his own name
