Kenjiro Sakiya: Difference & Realism

While stumbling upon him accidentally, I've become quite fond of Sakiya's work. While I do feel it pales in comparison to other artist of a similar style and sound, there is something undeniably great about his sound. In 1985, Sakiya started work as a composer/producer and then began his own individual musical pursuits in 1987, releasing "Difference". Difference and Realism are fantastic albums and if you are a fan of Toshiki Kadomatsu, Chikuzen Satou, or the genres those gentlemen perform, please check this artist out! Sakiya continues to release his music while writing music for other artists, television and film and I'm happy to have found a handful of his early albums to share with you all. Enjoy!
