      Ryuichi Sakamoto's classic, issued in Japan in 1983 as a solo piano version of the "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence" soundtrack.

      The album, which was never been released outside of Japan until now, sees Sakamoto on acoustic piano reinterpreting fascinating versions of his famous soundtrack including the classic theme and "Germination," which was later used in the "Call Me By Your Name" soundtrack.

      This reissue has been remastered by Seigen Ono's Saidera Mastering studio in Tokyo and boasts the original artwork plus a 4-page insert with new liner notes by Andy Beta.
