Ryuichi Sakamoto actually reminded me of the fact many debuts from those with long careers basically belonged to the special category of the pioneering works within their genres. Thus, Yellow Magic Orchestra also did a great introduction and, yes, I should be more objective here, but even then – what they did was astounding. I mean, what was their benchmark at the time? Kraftwerk, I agree, but we already heard Sakamoto moving beyond what they did and going towards the direction the German group never suggested. Moreover, Sakamoto, Hosono and Takahashi made electronica more fun. This might be their greatest legacy – moving the electronic music away from the stuffiness. Sure, Kraftwerk also did that, though their sense of humour remained less pronounced.
