Milan Records celebrates the 30th anniversary of Ryuichi Sakamoto's album 1996 with the album's first release on cassette in the West.

1996 is a milestone in Ryuichi Sakamoto's discography. The album was originally released in 1996 and celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2026. For many music lovers around the world, this timeless work has been their first encounter with Ryuichi Sakamoto's extensive career as a composer and pianist. The album collects some of the master's most popular compositions, from the iconic themes from "The Last Emperor" and "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence" to "1919" and "A Day a Gorilla Gives a Banana", the latter two of which were brand new compositions at the time of the album's original release.

All tracks are arranged for piano, cello, and violin, and the recordings are considered by many to be some of the most moving pieces of music Ryuichi Sakamoto ever composed and performed. A classic album in the true sense of the word.
