This is a reprint of the Official Scorebook 坂本龍一 supervised by 坂本龍一 /04} published in 2005. The original book had been out of stock for a long time, and many fans had been hoping for its re-release. Therefore, we have now reproduced the book in a form that is as faithful to the original as possible, not only in content but also in design.

The original of this scorebook is "/04" (released in 2004), a self-cover album featuring piano performances by 坂本龍一.

Please note that the CD that came with the original "Official Scorebook 坂本龍一 /04" published in 2005 is not included in the reprinted edition.

One of the main features of this music book is that 坂本龍一 himself explains the music and gives tips on performance. In addition, a long interview is included. The content of the interview is extremely valuable, going deep into music theory as well.

In addition, the original official scorebook was produced by 坂本龍一, who was also deeply involved in the choice of paper and design. The late Hideki Nakajima (Nakajima Design), who also worked on the album jackets of 坂本龍一, was the art director for the project. The paper was chosen for its eye-friendly hues, and the printing is so meticulously done that it is actually blurred and blurred upon closer inspection. The reissued version retains these details, but has been given FSC certification for the purpose of forest protection. This is, of course, in sympathy with the fact that 坂本龍一 himself founded the forest conservation organization "more trees". Therefore, we would like to ask for your understanding that some of the forms and other parts may differ from those in the original document.

The album "/04" is not just a collection of piano works, but a collection of piano arrangements filled with ambitious creativity. This collection is another "/04" that visibly expresses that creativity. We hope that many people will play this album.
