    Ryuichi Sakamoto sadly passed away on March 28, 2023. Before Ryuichi Sakamoto’s passing, Suga met his idol when he traveled to Japan in September 2022.

    Sakamoto spoke of their meeting in the literary magazine Shincho and had nothing but praise for the BTS member.

    Although he is a top idol, when we talked, I felt he was a humble and cool young man who was serious about his music. It was to the point that I wondered if he had any other hobbies other than thinking about music.

    ARMYs were touched to see that Suga was able to collaborate with the renowned musician he so admired before Sakamoto’s untimely passing.

    A teaser for Suga’s upcoming Disney+ and Weverse documentary revealed that Suga and Ryuichi Sakamoto’s meeting would appear in the film.
