教授! もう、お解りでしょう。 日本人は、日本人で 歌を 作った ほうが、いい。
演奏より、ボーカルの 方が、上手では ないですか。
何んで、キチンと、プロデュース しなかったのですか?
ボーカルの方が、可愛そうですよ。演奏が、物足りない。

Even without the added MJ lyrics, Sakamoto's 1986 version already sounds way too different from his original 1978-79 version. This should be obvious from the fact that his 1986-87 version is almost completely acoustic rock, whereas his original versions were entirely electronic synth-pop. From all the cover versions of "Behind the Mask" released, it's quite ironic that it was the original writer's own cover version that sounds the most different from the original version.

That "Japanese dude" is the original writer of the song, Ryuichi Sakamoto. Along with his band YMO, he originally produced the song in 1978 and officially released it in 1979. The version in this video is a 1987 cover version of his own song.

I always loved Clapton's version but I gotta say, and this is coming from a BIG Clapton fan, this sounds just as good, if not better, to me. This Japanese dude really know how to rock!

A huge prize for you for giving us Bernard Fowler's name. Realy, thank you. One day,someone says RyuIchi Sakamoto made a lot for the rise of nu-soul as a genre.
