Let's Dance Raw

His second solo album: ten songs with a science-fiction concept behind bright tropical arrangements.
Shintaro Sakamoto, 2014

Audio Snobbery calls it his sophomore release, while its own Bandcamp lists more releases, so how it is counted varies. Its themes, in that review, are humanity's self-destruction and conformity in Japanese society; Sakamoto described a light-hearted commercial for a resort hotel playing on a TV with no one around.
