really the only few good seconds of this song were those when David sang! It clearly shows he got not influence in music. Sakamoto can't do it by himself...
One of the pair's best, massacred by some cheesy instrumentation and horrible vocals. Try to find the stripped-down piano & vocal version, it's aural manna!
The pared down piano/vocal version mentioned below is at watch?v=z0dMrHHmcMQ for comparison

Sylvian wrote the lyrics, IIRC.

Crap....shame Sylvian even considered doing this - must be purely for old friendship's sake.

and yes the title is all wrong. It should be 'sakamoto with friends, Sylvian happened to be among them...'

Well it could be a lot better if that was only David's voice here.

It hurts to criticize something with such a good cause, but I was just so surprised by how truly, truly awful this is. What was Sylvian thinking?

A noble effort, nonetheless.
(Of course, Sylvian can do no wrong in this girl's eyes.

Awful.
I don't know what's worse: inflicting landmines on people or this :)

Different,but could have come across better with more vocally powered singers,and with more passion put in to it!Not David's fault.

I have to agree, the one blight on an otherwise near pefect catalgue from these two. Some vocals that should NEVER have made the final cut!
