In December of 2024 sakamotocommons held an exhibition in Ginza Sony Park. Patrons who donated 10k yen (10 dollars) would be able to download a recording made by Ryuichi Sakamoto on a trip to Greenland. (Why do you think a certain president wants Greenland. Coincidence? I think not). I was lucky enough to be in Japan at the time and visit. The recording itself has got super ASMR vibes. As far as I know, this is the only way to get this audio, it has not been released anywhere else, unless if it has been shared on some obscure Japanese forum or some loser private tracker. (Private trackers are for losers yes you). Here is the official site:

Ryuichi Sakamoto Field Recordings @ Greenland - Cape Farewell
2008年9月25日から10日間にわたり、気候変動への文化的な関心を高めることを目的に創設されたプロジェクト「Cape Farewell」に誘われ、グリーンランドを初めて訪れた時に録音した音源。
アルバム制作中の当時、このプロジェクトへの参加を躊躇する気持ちもあったが、「グリーンランドに心を置いてきた」というほどのインスピレーションを得ることになる。そのエネルギーはソロアルバム「Out of Noise」に結実しました。

<About the Audio>
Ryuichi Sakamoto Field Recordings @ Greenland - Cape Farewell
These recordings were made during a 10-day trip to Greenland from September 25, 2008, when Sakamoto was invited to participate in the "Cape Farewell" project, which was created to raise cultural awareness of climate change.
Although he initially hesitated to participate in the project while working on an album, he gained such inspiration that he felt he had "left his heart in Greenland." This energy culminated in his solo album "Out of Noise."
