what a difficult piece to give a 'personal touch'. mr sakamoto always surprising. a masterpiece so well composed and arranged still had the chance under such incredible hands of a very subtle 'version'
@HaydieB Hello, this is Christ. Yes, well, as for your question, "What's up?" OK. Let me put it like this: Sakamoto is one of our experiments gone somewhat wrong, you see, and yet he has become loved by morons. My father, God, and I created him to marry Eastern and Western music togeher, hopefully so that his work would reflect the best of both. The opposite happened, but idiots love him anyway--(like you). It is embarrassing for God and me.
@HaydieB Thanks, Haydie, for being tickled by my little witticism, but I feel like I am the Moron, now, myself, for two reasons:
1) I gave this piece three careful listens--and it is really extraordinary--Sakamoto didn't write it, but did a wonderful job arranging--and, anyway, I now know, has written some great stuff himself--
2) Sakamoto's work was good enough for the likes of Bertolucci, (Director, "The Last Emporer"), one of the best verbal and visual poets ever.
Not bad. But I like the piano solo of this piece by Keisuke Nakagoshi much better. I'm 50/50 on like or dislike.. so I'll leave the buttons alone.

Incredible how Ryuichi Sakamoto takes away who is listening, to another and totally difrent place.
The time seems to stop while his music plays.

Very intriguing combination of Western & Asian elements.
The lamentation of the string is almost heart wrenching ...

Dear Youtube, please remove the 'dislike' button and replace it with an "OMG I love it' one.

この曲のおかげで僕は二胡を始めたんだよなあ。
今思えばこの曲で使用されているのは低音二胡（二泉二胡かも）ですね。
