I'm always on the verge of tears when I listen to this song. No words can describe the turmoil, sadness, and just plain heart ache while watching this movie.

[cillantro]

@schwelty Same here,the heaviness crawls into me when I watch the tragic ballad of the emperor of ten thousand years set to this magnificent tune....it capitulates the fall of orientalism for me!As doe the movie with a tune to match.Very soothing but heavy also.A hear wrecker of a tune.

[braindot]

This song sounds a little old.... No offence for people who like it, but its a "brilliant piece".

[winxcat]

@braindot the film it's from is set in an acient time. hence

[vickiehill1]

This is such a beautiful piece of music. Beautifully played by such a brilliant artist. The piano is amazing too!

[brownyb80]

a hint of Merry XMas Mr. Lawrence there...

[IamYourLethe]

Masterpiece :| I feel it travelling down my spine :|

[kenichisaitohchenii]

@decco or whatever

Maybe your dad.were such.a.typical recist so.his son is.

[bermilkymay]

He is genius.... His piano sounds sooooo lonely... touched to my heart!

[suhki1991]

Amazing composition which fits the movie and the era of the film. AWESOME

[oettam85]

grazie del video, voto: cinque stelle, bellissima melodia e bravissimo il musicista!!!

[KevinVang1000]

I feel sad for the Last Emperor because he was the loneliness kid that I ever saw in my entire life and was used by the Japanese during WWII when they are trying to take over Manchuria.

Poor Poo-Yi

[falloutfan1105]

@KevinVang1000 same i felt so sorry for him as well

[KevinVang1000]

T_T

[a012345]

@KevinVang1000 More like that he was lied to his whole life.

[decko87]

christ it's like he built a huge fuckin ethnic wall with the song like sort of y'know sorta oriental wall right there like a sorta great asian wall an he's standing there, this big chink just saying ''you are the sick man of asia'' fuck- fuck that like but still fair play to him

[jesseniafra]

[mushiotoko]

wow, in 1:13 he makes a mistake. I´ve never seen that! His music and playing is so perfect that for a moment I thought he was a robot =D Sakamoto, the genius of our time

[snowboarder98926]

wow this peice is beautiful

its' my favorite of all times probably

[sharpazn]

I love Classical, death metal, electronic music, hip hop, jazz, pop and other styles ... and Ryuichi Sakamoto is my favorite artist!

[parksy010101]

@sharpazn Yes, so? One isn't pigeon-holed into one genre are they? Woop doop! Stop reading tabloid newspapers or watching commercial news. Of course, most people ARE eclectic with their music tastes.

[repents]

Beautiful! One of my favourite pieces of music ever

[vvvtr990]

最高！

[aliceagos]

to richardre06: listen the version with the orchestra, too. It's great.

[richardre06]

not bad but not a miracle really very standard in the crative mood, it is a poor chinese song without energy! is difficult to do it using that kind of metod of composition

[MediaPointEnt]

You sir are a Moron with a capital "M".

[tedrocks499]

@MediaPointEnt such a beauty oes and spiritual piece of music it trancends time and space enjoy the talent and etherial qualitues of this may it lift and transport to another world and time TIME IS JUST AN ILLUSION

[Kyrano]

a very hollow view on musci there

[richardre06]

i agree it music hollow but no very bad

[Kyrano]

haha, i have got thumbs down for thinking that guy should look at music a better way and not be so hollow in his thoughts, oh well, guess no one else gets it either, their loss

[jamiekenta]

its amizing how he played the entire thing by memory, jeeze! i probably can't even play half that song with the paper right in front of me!

[HeavenScentedd]

Beautiful! Too bad.. i can only play parts of this piece: Small Hands :s

[liveforthefantasy]

Mr Skamoto is a genius!

Too much talent for one person, I love him ♥

[dbchef70]

Sakamoto saw him once live with David Sylvian suberb !!!!!

[bemyart90]

Mr. Sakamoto rules! What a beautiful piece of music...

[pontello3]

great musician!

this really can move even the dead people!
