La cinta dirigida por Stephen Nomura Schible se centra en la vida del compositor de renombre Ryuichi Sakamoto. Por tanto, este documental revive la prolífica carrera de este artista, quien lleva trabajando más de cuatro décadas. De esa forma asistimos a la evolución de Sakamoto, desde sus inicios con el techno-pop hasta que se convirtió en un ganador de la Academia, consiguiendo el Oscar por ?El último emperador?. Pero además de su dedicación al mundo de la música, Sakamoto ha demostrado ser también una figura muy importante en el movimiento social contra las nucleares del lugar. Eric Nyari y Yoshiko Hashimoto son los productores de la película, mientras que Neo Sora y Tom Richmond son los directores de fotografía que acompañan a Stephen Nomura Schible en este viaje.
