Experience the powerful and evocative music of Ryuichi Sakamoto with the Minamata soundtrack LP for sale. This original motion picture soundtrack, composed for the gripping 2021 film directed by Andrew Levitas, showcases Sakamoto’s masterful ability to blend emotion with storytelling. The orchestral score beautifully complements the narrative of industrial disaster in the Japanese town of Minamata, as seen through the eyes of American photojournalist Eugene Smith.
Director Andrew Levitas praises Sakamoto, stating, “Ryuichi was my dream collaborator… The music needed to represent both the absolute best of humanity as well as the worst.” This profound insight is reflected in each note of the score.
Additionally, the vinyl release includes the touching end credit song “One Single Voice,” performed by Welsh mezzo-soprano Katherine Jenkins, who stars alongside Johnny Depp in the film. Pressed on two 180-gram black vinyl discs, this release comes in stunning gatefold packaging complete with a 12” photo insert, credits, and liner notes from Levitas.
Based on the book of the same name, Minamata tells the poignant tale of Eugene Smith’s journey to document the devastating effects of mercury poisoning on coastal communities in Japan. His powerful imagery adds a deeply human element to this environmental catastrophe.
