Japanese recording artist Ryuichi Sakamoto led a collection of musicians to form a group called NML (No More Landmines), and they released the single Zero Landmine on April 25, 2001.

Sakamoto and other musicians were concerned about the issue of landmines remaining buried in several countries.

Together with a number of domestic and foreign artists and musicians, Sakamoto formed the unit NML (No More Landmines).

NML produced the EP recording Zero Landmine, which runs for about twenty minutes with ethnic music and singing forming the bulk of the second half of the song.
