Reviews / Live

"There was much to love about this show and perhaps with the smaller crowd, things stood out that perhaps wouldn’t have with a bigger audience."

"As though reflecting his real-life story, Sakamoto revels in finding hope and optimism in his collaborations."

"It wasn’t just the songs of the past decade or so that impressed us, it was also the sudden realisation of the subtle influences that shaped these tunes."

"With three musicians on stage jumping between instruments while the singer bends, ebbs and flows with each refrain, the talent on display here is incredible."

"A bold move and one that is best experienced live and loud."

"He sets the bar high and pushes the limit higher with every drop while creating some hugely momentous energy along the way."

"Every song is a ‘come hither’ song, designed to seduce while being deeply funny, and self-aware."

"Some guy’s hanging from the rafters doing chin-ups."
