In the Footsteps of Professor: Adventures in the late Sakamoto's Musical Universe

The current temperature in the city where I live in Japan is 36 degrees Celsius, which is approximately 96.8 degrees Fahrenheit. To momentarily forget about this oppressive heat, I'll indulge in some rambling. As you might know, for the past few months, I've been meticulously dissecting and analyzing the late Professor Ryuichi Sakamoto's compositions, down to every single note. It's an intellectually stimulating and challenging game to speculate on the inspirations behind each of his musical pieces and unravel the process of his musical creation. In this arduous game, I rely on the brilliance of a British gentleman, even though the actor who portrayed him has already passed away. The Japanese actor who dubbed his voice in the Japanese version did an outstanding job, bringing him to life with extraordinarily brilliant skills. With that Japanese-dubbed voice echoing in my head, this gentleman assists me in deciphering the ingenious tricks laid out by Professor Sakamoto, as if he's challenging his arch-nemesis Professor Moriarty. As the role of Dr. Watson, I am amazed by his insights every time and sometimes subjected to the eccentricity of his personality. However, I've become accustomed to it by now.
