Legendary Japanese musical polymath Shintaro Sakamoto will release his fifth studio album, Yoo-hoo, on January 23. A standout track, “Is There a Place for You There?” delivers a nostalgic, Shōwa-era–influenced, dub-infused sound that perfectly captures Sakamoto’s singular style — mind-bending, warm, and unmistakably his own.
