Music from Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence - World Karate Championship

There is a Thread about A8 musics that are, indeed, real commercial ones somewhere on AOnline and I think also here.

Although not a POKEY masterpiece and, of course, not possible there's my old time favourite group DEAD CAN DANCE with their interpretation of the Middle Age song "Saltarello" in Miecze Valdgira game.

I saw Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence at the theater when it came out. I remember walking outside in the falling snow afterwards, while that theme played over again in my head. To this day I can feel the bittersweet quality of that experience whenever I hear, or think of, Sakamoto's music. Thanks for the post, Sikor.
