We scored every transition between Ryuichi Sakamoto’s 10 analysed tracks and every track by 12,460 other artists. 2 catalogues clear the bar — a transition counts at 80 chemistry or above, the same number you’ll see on any track page. The 2 with the widest margin over chance are below.
Chance is measured, not assumed: 0.573% of transitions between two randomly drawn tracks by different artists in this catalogue reach 80. Listed alphabetically — the set is reproducible, the order inside it is not.
15 of the 320 transitions between these catalogues reach 80 chemistry. Chance would give 1.8. They come from 7 different Ryuichi Sakamoto tracks.
