Japan’s Ryuichi Sakamoto, known for his electronic music, including the score for “The Last Emperor,” on Monday finished streaming a concert that may be the last for the Academy-award winning composer, who is fighting stage 4 cancer.


Sakamoto, 70, said in an online message in December that the unorthodox performance - broadcast to more than two dozen nations around the world - came about because he could no longer complete a regular concert.


“My strength has really fallen, so a normal concert of about an hour to ninety minutes would be very difficult,” he said.
