Ryuichi Sakamoto 坂本龍一 - Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence [1983 - 2009]

Ryuichi Sakamoto is my most favourite Japanese male musician & "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence" surely is topped as No.1 among all his works. Since 1st appeared in 1983 under the movie OST, many artists trying to twist and turn into various styles like R&B, Dance or even Rock.
Until 2009, Utada Hikaru, my another favourite female J-pop artist, finally sing it in R&B style. I like the most is the version in "1996" album, using only violin, cello & piano (piano played by Sakamoto), simple but impactful.

One special edition here from my collection is the live version of "Sweet Revenge" concert on 02 Nov 1994, even with the conversation between Sakamoto & audience. Enjoy!
