Japan's Ryuichi Sakamoto, known for his electronic music, including the score for 'The Last Emperor,' on Monday finished streaming a concert that may be the last for the Academy-award winning composer, who is fighting stage 4 cancer.

Sakamoto, 70, said in an online message in December that the unorthodox performance - broadcast to more than two dozen nations around the world - came about because he could no longer complete a regular concert. The concert, which featured a Sakamoto solo on piano for 13 of the songs, included themes from "The Last Emperor" and "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence," in which he acted alongside David Bowie in addition to writing the score. It was streamed four times starting at noon on Dec. 11, with the last coming early on Monday morning in Japan.
He matured into a keyboard and electronic musician and composer who became known for film scores, especially Nagisa Oshima's "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence" and Bernard Bertolucci's "The Last Emperor," for which he won an Academy Award.
