    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.
