Judging from the academic discourse power, Ryuichi Sakamoto's position is not equal to that of Joe Hisaishi, nor is it as famous as it looks outside the circle. Ryuichi Sakamoto's artistic achievements are obviously greater. From the perspective of songwriting, Mr. Joe Hisaishi has obvious advantages. However, because of the difficulty in unifying academic standards, songwriting is not within the scope of research, and there is no such thing as "competition" and "winning". Let's just say that Mr. Joe Hisaishi put more effort into melody, and he really succeeded.

There are also some unknown experimental works in Joe Hisaishi, but the artistic height of these works is not high enough to reach the level of international influence, and there are few papers involving the composition circle.

Ryuichi Sakamoto's style

Compared with other musicians, I always feel that Ryuichi Sakamoto has an academic temperament. This temperament, similar to that of philosophers and poets, determines that even if some of his songs are "wild", you will always feel that his music has an inexplicable sense of solemnity. His latest album async is mainly experimental music, which is too avant-garde in form, but not very friendly to ordinary listeners.

One of them, Andata, was created in the form of fugue, but it is still experimental music. Combined with a religious narrative method, this film has a sense of sacredness and an eternal and profound sorrow. Ryuichi Sakamoto is a philosopher among musicians. In fact, the professor has been insisting on something. He uses music to convey his thoughts or express his demands, which is why his music always makes people think.
