[Karisma94]

I know this melody from utada hikaru song called merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence

[ShordiTheItalian]

straordinaria

[liaopeijun1]

.♥•♫•*¨*•♫*♥*♫•*¨*•♫•♥

[LittlexDreamer]

Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence is the name of the song according to the album...

[Bombletspump123]

the movies is called 'merry christmas mr.lawrence' not the music. the music sakamoto made is called forbidden colours.

[umittchii]

@Bombletspump123 Forbidden Colours is the vocal version of the song, but the original song, as used in the film and also as an instrumental piece, is titled Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence.

[etherealwtf]

Is'nt that music in a Hayao Miyazaki animation movie soundtrack ?

[compleckz]

@etherealwtf Nope, Joe Hisaishi is the composer that makes the soundtracks for Miyazakis films. Sakamoto is just another great composer.

[bcommunitycollege]

wrong title, should be corrected...

[FreezingPT]

btw this music is "merry Christmas mr lawrence"

[eucaltypus]

Sakamoto is a Genius.

[chococochu]

:') i love this song 

[Sk8ing4redbull]

My friend is going to play this at a party, good luck for them :D

[Pelorubio1975]

I'd like to find the piano sheet music of this composition, have no idea where, though! Can someone help me? Thx in advance :-)

[lojy900320007]

@Pelorubio1975 Hi, I am not sure you found the music sheet yet, I have to have it, if you are still interested, let me know, i will email it to you...: )

[skinnerplaysdrums]

Ohh gawd, I need the sheet music for this. Thinking this would be the perfect to piece to play for year 12 moderation. If anyone has it or knows where to find it, please please PLEASE help me!

Peace :)

[Starwing321]

@skinnerplaysdrums search on google: "merry christmas mr.lawrence sheet music" i got mine on first result, and the song is very beautiful on my piano. Have fun playing it! :D

[MurpCamEy]

The song's name is Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence; it's the title track of the film, okay?

[PoppingThoughts]

The original title of the track is [Forbidden Colours]. Further renditions based on this track were titled [Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence], which happens to be the title of the movie this song was released for. So both [Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence] and [Forbidden Colours] are referring to the same song.

Let's stop arguing ):

[skinnerplaysdrums]

@PoppingThoughts Shall I find sheet music under 'Merry Christmas' then? Nothing under 'Forbidden Colours'. This makes me sad.

[MyRoseBlue]

@skinnerplaysdrums If you type in 'Merry Christmas Mr.Laurence' through google you'll find some, that's what I did. Have fun playing~^^

[indiogauchoargentino]

buenisimo, da mucha paz

[Starwing321]

@12haua first of all, I never said you ONLY had to pray. Second, I find it helpful, but that's just my take on it, you don't have to care what I say. And how I think religiously, I DO think it may give money to those people, although i 100% support donating yourself. You don't have to go and say my opinion is wrong.

[Nezzie20]

this sounds really familiar...is it from a drama?? :O

[marialuvsmanga]

this is amazing <3

[xXAzNBa0Xx]

he felt his own land while writing this piece 

[hagenjustyn]

This songs real name is " Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence"

[dowahdiddyman]

@hagenjustyn

No it isn`t! That`s the name of the bloody film,

[aleoferdie]

@hagenjustyn Not exactly as you said. This song is part of the film Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence soundtrack but the song's title is Forbidden Colours.

[stevanvinyl]

i love the heart of asia part

[R0R0WE]

thumbs up if utada brought you here.

[MissVictoriaLynnChin]

This music is really soothing & really touches my heart. (:

[vpirate65]

compared to Joe Hisaishi, Sakamoto is ordering a fly

[kriptonis]

@cinematicfanatic You are absolutely right about your point. However, I believe in words. If you say your mind, and I say my mind, both of us will have a new point of view to look into the world. They key word is respect. I don't have any bad feelings towards krngee and I hope nothing but the best for him. But on this youtube video we discovered something we don't agree upon. IMO that's only natural. Discussion is the hymn of freedom of choice ;)

[JordanClunn]

the people on here give passion a bad name. -_-

[MissVictoriaLynnChin]

This song is really nice . <3

[3TN40N3]

I want this pic, someone could help me to find them?

[barbarock17]

@3TN40N3 search fuji on google image :)

[Russell0005]

Umm this song is called merry Christmas mr Lawrence...

[chris51ification]

beautiful yet so sad

[BleuWaterStones]

Where can I find this song? I don't want any of the vocals that the song originally has.

[MissHmongHer1]

Soounds Soo Nicee . ;]

[purplecupcake123]

I love this so much. It speaks a thousand words even though there's not a single one in it. Just amazing.

[slevian34]

Pray and Donate ... simple answer =)

[monkeymank5]

Praying makes you feel good. Donating, on the other hand, helps the people of Japan.

[fragrantfart]

Ryuichi Sakamoto is the Albert Einstein of music

[tsukiakari91]

è davvero bellissima *_* è come se la melodia ti trasportasse sopra i tetti di tokyo o sopra i giardini e le pagode di kyoto fino ad arrivare alle cime del moneto fuji e via dicendo XP

[ivetteliza1]

i am in love with this song...its so soothing and beautiful! good choice on pictures its peaceful just like the song..

[the44118]

I love it!

[kjftrio]

thanks for the beautiful pictures. it fits the music beautifully. I go to Japan all the time, and the music make me remember the country which I adore. Ryuichi's music always have a eastern flavor which makes it special. thanks for posting it.

[kjftrio]

[spagnogulan]

Sakamoto is a Genius

[TheDanceToober]

This is truly exquisite!

[developedrain]

Listening to something like this helps me realize that we are all the same, not one of us is better than the other, this piece is incredible in what it makes you feel, simply stunning.

[CECEngineer1337]

For all the people debating the name of the song:

""Forbidden Colours" is a song composed by Ryuichi Sakamoto with lyrics by David Sylvian. The song is the vocal VERSION of the theme from the Nagisa Oshima film Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence and was first released on the soundtrack album. "Forbidden Colours". The title of the song is taken from Japanese writer Yukio Mishima's 1953 novel Forbidden Colors; although not directly related to the film..."

がんばれ日本！Japan and Mr. Sakamoto on my prayers..

[LongfeiAvesani08]

Sakamoto is genious !

[babasmoklalala]

Ten people do not lik that, what's missing in these ten people?

[guilderrpg1]

Each time I hear this all I can do is smile and think of all of the joys in life.

[Gurumze]

@guilderrpg1 like cancer, famine, wars, crime, poverty, child prostitution, tortures, assasinations, serial killers, death of loved ones and other joys of life.

[Darkevil360]

@Gurumze yeah exactly ^.^

[CANAirforce]

@Gurumze You can't have good without bad. If it weren't for the bad things like the ones you mentioned, we would take the good in the world for granted.

[RatherEpicPotato]

I enjoy this piece of music.

Here is also something I found.

A Drum'n base which is really awesome.

[aznguyjimmy]

Can anyone tell me what the picture is called. It's so beautiful.

[TEEX]

@aznguyjimmy I'm not quite sure what it's called, although if you're looking for a higher resolution of it (1600x1200), do a Google image search for "Japan". It will be one of the first results.

[sasukefan123123]

@EvaJohannaMarieLN95 Oh Okay~ Sorry For Posting That Twice ^-^ And I Don't Mean To Sound Rude By Those Comments :)

[HuynhDo]

who cares about the name

[EvaJohannaMarieLN95]

the name of the song is "merry christmas Mr.Lawrence" ;)

its not "forbidden colors".

its wrong. just so you know it.

[sasukefan123123]

@EvaJohannaMarieLN95 The Name Should Not Matter. The Music Should. :) Just So You Know

[sasukefan123123]

@EvaJohannaMarieLN95 The Name Shouldn't Really Matter. The Music Should.

[PWIRairai]

Its things like these that amaze me..

[Nyetitall]

Sounds very much like it could be in the anime "clannad". With such a bittersweet melody

[danideedynamite]

I don't know why but as soon as it hit the first note I burst into tears :( It's the first time that ever happened to me while listening to a song.

[babasmoklalala]

<3

[GiovoManiacal]

:')



[TimmothyBrown]

[ZamuelMarquist]

[Fastcheetah9]

[Tibidoll]

この人の音楽は３０回ぐらい聴けば飽きてくる。

良いメロディだけど、それ以外はつまらない。

だから飽きてくるのだろう。

偉大な人々へのオマージュ

[Tybob47]

I hate it when people say pray for Japan. If you want to help, DONATE!!! Please do something to physically help the people of Japan out.

[disaznboii19148]

@Tybob47 Totally agree with this.

When people say pray for Japan, It just makes that person look like a phony that wants attention that he/she "cares".

It's like praying loudly in the street. ><

But of course I'd get flamed if I oppose it.

[JackCaoArt]

@disaznboii19148 Im gunna be honest i dont give a shit about japan that was mother natures will to take japan and im down with the mother nature!

[darkevilazn]

@JackCaoArt Then i hope mother nature strikes you down with lightning and kills you. Im sure youll be fine with mother nature kill you.

[darkevilazn]

@JackCaoArt Then i hope mother nature strikes you down with lightning and kills you. Im sure youll be fine with mother nature killing you.

[JackCaoArt]

@darkevilazn Yes im fine with it im in the gods hands and fate says im gunna die then i will die with a smile on my face!

Same thing goes to you my friend

[marfell]

@Tybob47 pray&donate

[Tybob47]

@marfell Okay, so I agree to an extent (I personally find praying to be a waste, but to each his own). The thing is, people don't say that, they just say to pray. They don't mention donation, that is the part that annoys me, not the praying part.

[the44118]

@Tybob47 I am a God fearing man...ignore TYbob and pray for them too!

[krngee]

@Tybob47 Physically? Praying is more than just physical action. Its greater.. Do you know what praying is? or who people pray to?

[frankthoen]

@krngee I agree but maybe people should pray and donate !

[kriptonis]

@krngee the truth is no one knows.

[krngee]

@kriptonis Truth is.. i Do.

[kriptonis]

@krngee you are not being honest with yourself then.

[krngee]

@kriptonis funny how ignorant and arrogant people can be. telling people they lie to themselves. Religion. Look it up plz.

[kriptonis]

@krngee Funny how you feel insulted by the mere truth. You claim a prayer does more than physical action. You claim you know to whom you pray. Also claim a prayer is greater than physical action. All this without proof, just your faith.

But, wait. I'm the ignorant and arrogant one.

Funny how you think you are above question, and when questioned, you just dispense a couple of insults and move along. OK, stick with that. I'm not interested in prolonging this any further.

[krngee]

@kriptonis Idk why you even commented back to me when i wasnt even talking to you in the first place. If you didnt want to prolong this any further, then dont even comment on this in the first place. Especially since you dont even know what prayer is.

[kriptonis]

@krngee I don't want to prolong this meaningless discussion. However, my right of Free Speech is mine, and not yours to use or determine not to use, so I'll reply to whoever I want, whenever I want to, thank you. Hopefully one day we can all do the same.

Actually, if you looked at my channel, you would see that I was once a(n) (active) catholic, so prayer was pretty much the meal of the day. Never gave me any positive results. But hey, maybe god likes you better than he likes me, right?

[H4rdstyl30wns]

@Tybob47 you dont know if they have donated or not you self rightchous shit! Mannnnnnn

[yizer13]

@H4rdstyl30wns Try and insult his perfectly valid and justified point when you can spell. Just enjoy the bloody music.

[H4rdstyl30wns]

@yizer13 You are right, i was just being an ass hole. I should not have posted my hate on what should be a peaceful page, especially when Japan is in such a rough time. My point was just as valid as his though, just saying.

[Starwing321]

@Tybob47 It's true, people should donate for the cause, but i find prayer an effective method as well, it helps me relax because i remember that everything's in God's hands. Every worry and sadness will one day be just a memory.

[12haua]

@Starwing321 praying wont give money and help to those people.

[maqyavelo]

Toda la fuerza del mundo para vosotros. Animo y mucha fortuna.

[MrBeatlemaniatic]

animo japon

[x0xYeuEmx0x]

Pray for japan guys, look at that beautiful scenario in the video. Lets hope it will stay like that when the disaster ends.

[Paumonsu]

@x0xYeuEmx0x Praying won't do anything. You better get your hands to work if you want to help them

[x0xYeuEmx0x]

@Paumonsu Better than doing nothing. I donated money to Japan so in fact I did help them.

[mouloudidou]

@x0xYeuEmx0x

Yes, you are right, i did the same...I feel very sorry for japan...

[roddlength]

It's called Forbidden Colours.... And was used in the film Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence.

Here endeth the lesson.

[joseluisdiazcastillo]

Hoy mi sentir es triste, mi corazón se queda sin un pedacito y mi pensamiento es para una de las personas más maravillosas que he conocido, por su carácter, por sus ganas de vivir y su trato. Ruth te deseo que cuando abras esa ventana sea la vida más maravillosa que te pueda dar. Gracias por ser como eres.

[joseluisdiazcastillo]

Hoy me han dado una noticia muy buena y una muy pésima, la peor. Como se ve la vida desde perspectivas distintas..... Es difícil expresar como se siente, pero esta canción lo hace maravillosamente. Es triste pero a la vez te hace ver lo que hay detrás de la ventana...... Abrirla y mirar.

[jasand123]

[azelia2324]

This song is not forbidden Colours it is called Merry Merry Christmas Mr lawrence right ??

[IrishDutchman]

@azelia2324

Nope, 'Forbidden Colours' is the real name. It was used in the movie Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence as the main theme.

[leo87272]

@IrishDutchman but where can one finds THIS version, I mean this PIANO SOLO version???

[obdeniye]

@leo87272

[takahirosg]

@azelia2324 @fjordy4 The melody was taken from "Forbidden Colours"

[lindutchka]

Anyone familiar with his album from 1991 Heart Beat ? Wow, I had no this song came from the same artist until the radio DJ announced his name. It was no wonder I was touched by this piece. Though much different than Heart Beat, it has a way of reaching deep within.

[under4012]

Not Kyoto

This is the Yamanashi.

Yamanashi is the left side of Tokyo.

Not Temple

This is a Sengen Shrine.(浅間神社)

This Sengen Shrine is Kitaguchi Honguu Fuji Sengen Shrine (北口本宮冨士浅間神社) in Yamanashi.

[afbofficial]

Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence.

[mythios]

Oh i remember now.... Heart of Asia >.<

But still !!! Was this song ever in an anime?

[mypuppy4U]

@mythios haha no, it is from a movie called Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence. :) i myself never watched that but i heard from my friend that it was rly good, so let's hope i can find it at a library or somewhere. ^^

[mythios]

Why does this song sound sooo familiar???? specially at 1:40 - 1:55

Some1 pls answer me! Anime perhaps?

[lazyjanner]

@mythios yes i also find this tune familiar, it starts around 1:00

i am not sure but could it be that it was in clannad?
