12 is the fifteenth and final solo studio album by Ryuichi Sakamoto. It was released on January 17, 2023, two months before his death from cancer.
12 has been noted to be an “unhurried” minimalist electronic album that features the “sound of him breathing as though engaged in strenuous activity” overlaid on “sparse piano pieces within electronic soundscapes imbued with a sobering weight.”
