The Japanese composer is preparing to release his first unreleased album since 2017's "Async," which he recently starred in a worldwide streaming "Playing the Piano" concert.  The titles of this work refer to the dates in which the twelve tracks of "12" are created, in this regard Sakamoto himself said: After finally 'returning home' to my new temporary accommodation after an important operation", -the Japanese composer currently has stage four cancer- he explains, "I found myself reaching for the synthesizer. I had no intention of composing anything; all I wanted was to be surrounded by sound. I will probably continue to keep this type of 'diary'".
