Hideki Sakamoto Live in Concert and Live on Ustream

[Update: In consideration of the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, the concert will no longer be broadcast live, but will instead be aired on Sakamoto’s USTREAM channel at a later date. Check the noisycroak website for more details]

By now, we’d certainly hope you know who Hideki Sakamoto is. If you somehow missed our coverage of his work, he’s the incredibly talented composer and head of noisycroak with titles like the echochrome series, the Yakuza series, and 100 Million Ton no Bara Bara under his belt, among many others. As it turns out, he’ll be traveling to St. Petersburg, Russia, on March 30, 2011 to conduct the St. Petersburg State Academic Symphony Orchestra in a performance of his music from echochrome and No Heroes Allowed!.

Wait, upset that you won’t happen to be in St. Petersburg, Russia on that day? Sakamoto has you covered, as the concert will be broadcast live on Ustream for fans to enjoy. Sakamoto did this recently with the recording sessions for the amazing echochrome ii soundtrack, and it’s good to see him continuing this trend with this concert. His official website not only lists all the tracks being performed, but lists the stream times for nearly every time zone around the world.

We’re all in for a rare treat!  Let us know what you think of the set list and the fact that this is being streamed live to fans around the world.
