![Everyone in Japan knows his work, yet few even know his name. Chris Mosdell, British expatriate, pop lyricist, poet and visual artist, during his 30-year residence in Tokyo, has written chart-topping hits with some of Japan's most influential musicians and composers, penned lyrics to anime film scores (Ghost in the Shell, Gundam, Cowboy Bebop), and run with the multimedia underground of that city's avant-garde. Ink Music: In The Land Of The Hundred-Tongued Lyricist is a 90-minute documentary film detailing those artistic relationships in the expansive career of this celebrated wordsmith. Shot in HD on-location in Tokyo, Japan, the city that inspires his work, the film highlights through exclusive interviews Mosdell's rise from obscure, expatriate, bohemian poet to renowned lyricist for Japan's biggest band ever, Yellow Magic Orchestra. These interviews are visually reinforced by archival footage and showcases of songs, installations and live performances. Featuring Ryuichi Sakamoto, Yoko Kanno, Maaya Sakamoto, and many others.](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMTM0NDU4NTM5OF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwNDI3NTU4Mg@@._V1_QL75_UX500_CR0,47,500,281_.jpg)
