The project aims to pass on Ryuichi Sakamoto's works, instruments, materials, and his cross-disciplinary approach to the next generation, connecting them with new creations by students and artists. Project producer Hisashige Sotaro explained that the goal is not just to preserve and display Sakamoto's legacy, but to connect the next generation with the creative processes inscribed in them. The lab is planned to consist of a music production studio, an archive, a library, and a lounge for interaction among artists and students.
