Ryuichi Sakamoto-Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence

[SilveryFoxster]

Excellent, such a haunting melody. Thank you for sharing.

[roney76]

@SoLiTa1994 read previous! Lol.

[roney76]

@SoLiTa1984 Spirited Away is a near rip of this.....

[carljericobernaldez]

clannad, some parts of this song was played on the opening song of clannad after story Toki wo kizamu uta,,on the middle part of the song,the piano solo , if I weren't mistaken..

[borgviken]

@carljericobernaldez You are correct, I will also add that it fit more for clannad.

I'm tear eyed just from hearing this now :'(

[SoLiTa1994]

[MissJenkins245]

I found this song while I was in my detention. my music teacher was playing it in the room above me, I have been in love with this song ever since.

[lozengeist]

It's been 4 days. I'm still listening to this on a daily basis.

Thank you. <3

[serdamian92]

bravooo...very compliment

[xDarkCloudFTW]

All I can say is.... OMG!!!! <3 <3

[circespell]

Each note does not hang from the heavens as it does no matter how Sakamoto-san plays it...very obviously a copy...not bad for an amateur though.

[liloomiah]

Beautiful. Well done!

[macrobioticman]

Fantastic!

[klameklane]

This is beautiful music Well done : be brave and be a star!!!

[biglalu]

Was it written by Sakamoto himself? I'm asking you because this song reminds me some traditional japanese theme listened in my life...

[empizzle8]

That was great

[THEERUXXer]

Respect!

[mitsubishi777]

Splendid.

[TheNewAlias]

wow you play really well...tempo and fingers

[MixingForPeace]

BRAVO!!!! 

[RHzk]

What piano effects do you use? Beautiful.

[tubbykids00]

beautifully played, got a lot of emotions in the piece.

[mittenengrey]

One of my favorite pieces of all time! Played very well good job :)

[talkinganimalsonline]

very nice! Did you learn from a score or from audio?

[silentsipher]

Beautiful!

[TheChris087]

:'( :')

[demonatheart87]

As soon as this song starts a tear rolls down my face. Love it <3

[princeKaitou1412]

somehow when i listen to this i always picture spirited away

very awsome play

[EricaJCoburn]

@princeKaitou1412 Me too! the start kind of reminds me of the start of One Summer's Day by Joe Hisaishi

[mekkabon]

@princeKaitou1412 very fitting with spirited away.

[mekkabon]

1) Open another tab

2) Go to youtube

3) Search 'rainymood', play first song

4) Play both videos at the same time

5) Enjoy ♫ 

[johnseoulkr]

Beautiful. I love the timing as well.

[TheChris087]

:') pure beauty 

[YeolEumSon]

Das ist wunderschön gespielt! du solltest ein Klavier besitzen! Und darauf spielen!

[SoldierGful]

i need to be able to play the song for my dads birthday and this is immensly important and i would greatly appreciate it if i got the notes!

[MrTenshiSenpai]

@SoldierGful use google instead of wasting your time commenting a video....fuckign stupid ass.

[SoldierGful]

soldier_g@ymail.com

[hismileplzthx]

[529Pianoman]

[tekho]

0:00

[missmukmuk]

so beautiful. :)

[BlackDiamondAnime]

This is really good for Christmas theme party!

Spice and Wolf brought me here :))

[Asianpride8596]

Man this song is amazing! Very beautifal and peaceful. Expecially the beginning! lol but towards the middle of the song I keep imagining Santa being Japanese xD over all this is a master piece that I will love even til death! :)

[brianlai22]

The beginning was beautiful.

[Creuzillion]

Is Mr Lawrence a real person?

[derrickwalla]

@Creuzillion yeah of course 

[tidus1]

you missing one part

[MThorup]

When I hear this song.. I don't know - My body turns cold when I start listening to it. Those who can come up with plays like this ... My heart starts beating - It's just something other to listen, to someone who 'feel' the piano, like you do.

And I agree, this song is amazing - definitely the best piano theme ever!

[arthurthethirdxxx]

@MThorup i get the same feeling.. OoO

[PASIVdevice]

This is great. Exactly like Mr. Sakamoto when he plays it live.

Without the synths and cellos, but really, this one doesn't need them.

[WillCrazie]

@PASIVdevice because it's a mime!!!!

[guitelmang]

Sublime.

[mikiwink]

wow great job!  i love this song!

[hsinleewinterchill]

hi luca, what piano is this?

[xiandrian]

21 people never knew the pain Mr. Lawrence had.

[fmagistel]

I have to say, piano solo is nice, but this piece is best when played with many instruments...

[TheManGuyDude]

@fmagistel agree and disagree, it just needs another violin, it definitely doesn't need many

[fmagistel]

Wish I got a good frontal view at the piano to see exactly what keys he's pressing

[drgamingguru]

Remind anyone else of the ff13 theme? 

[tabbyshauna]

I loved the build up mystery. So beautiful!

[akandeyo]

Senjyou no merry xmas. It is really old movie , but also I like his movie theme song "The Last Emperor".

[pepsiorcoke17]

could you please send me the sheet music to this song?

[kianisdatyou]

i guess i heard this from the english movie HACHIKO... but im not sure.. still, it;s a lovely composition..

[ilovehikaruhitachiin]

i feel like i've heard this in clannad

[kakundo87]

spirited away?

[pepsiorcoke17]

@kakundo87 nah. merry christmas mr. lawrence (the name of the movie and theme song are the same)

[sugarcandy1017]

This song sounds very very familiar. But i just can't remember when i heard it before...

[happyXcandy]

aboslutely love it...is there any sheet music??

[Nentedo63]

@happyXcandy sure there is! you just have to look in the right places...

[happyXcandy]

@Nentedo63 like where??

[Nentedo63]

@happyXcandy like where? sadly I can't say

[svangc]

*CLAP CLAP APPLAUD!

[MiidnightStars]

Wow. Stunned. Too beautiful.

[TheMsAnimeLoverGirl]

@jojolw234 I never said it was a bad song.. I'm a thumbs up whore? WELL. All I was trying to do is express on how I feel about this song.. It's a beautiful song, infact. So, stop cussing and post more pleasant comments for Mr. Lucas.. Is it a bad thing for me to be commenting on songs? Is there a law about me not being able to show my feelings on a beautiful song? ..

[Thetrollmaster2000]

@TheMsAnimeLoverGirl He's trolling you.

[TheMsAnimeLoverGirl]

@Thetrollmaster2000 Lol T^T

[lcrmme]

Es una maravillosa melodia, Que cerca tenemos la belleza, al alcance de nuestra mano, no la perdamos jamas........................

[llecelkcis]

[mauro2223]

Ciao Luca,

Mauro

[mikelinoforever]

[Bordaholic]

[VisiblyBeautiful]

[ruangwit555]

Do anyone know where to get the sheet music of this version?

[dayviet]

[chaimcher]

THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!! LOVE IT TOTALLY!

[ken790124]

god bless Japan and Ryuichi Sakamoto

[Minnie64]

incredible

[GuillermoSmyser]

Beautiful!!! What a lovely song and wonderful performance!

[bearlop]

Well aside from the inbred morons swearing on here let me say for all the intelligent normal people out there that this was a very well played Merry Xmas Mr Lawrence. well done.

[L0RDFR3NCHY]

I couldn't say it any better than most of the people here, that was ABSOLUTELY perfect =) ... worthy of the author, truly ^^ (to the viewers, come ON... what's with the anger on this page ^^ ... be happy, for Mr Lawrence, for christ's sake, it's chritmas!) haha

[silsae]

beautifully played

[nzigen31]

Looks like music on that wii game 'fragile dreams; fragments of the moon'?

You guise should check it out, really beautiful music that one too, It's the theme song.

[luisdent]

very nice job. what keyboard is that?

[xSHERAHx]

Omg, I can't stop listening to this! It's so beautiful, I swear.

[rodmkim]

i luv this version!

[Whydothis3315]

18 people were so blinded by their tears of joy from this song that they pressed dislike.

[fmagistel]

@Whydothis3315 lol dude, don't try to satirize the fact, and respect their dislikes. They simply had different tastes, what's wrong with that?

[Psychroalgia]

@fmagistel Welcome to YouTube!

[UnDeadXLiam]

@Whydothis3315 it's funny how 22 people dislike this song and 22 people liked you comment.

coincidence, i think not

[Roflmaoburger]

beautiful

[argasta]

Very nice cover of Sakamoto's song.

[MrClownWakaxD]

OMG SOMONE STOP ME I CANT STOP REPLAYING 2:47-3:07 OVER AND OVER

[ChuuMuu]

@MrClownWakaxD

I can't stop replaying that part either! c: That's my favorite part!

[andrew3656]

@MrClownWakaxD

LMAO RELAX

[SandraCui]

@MrClownWakaxD is it because it was in 2pm's military army?

[druhihulili]

as to this solo, i don´t know. what´the instrument? yamaha Sy ...? or yamaha S...

well, bravely done, but Sakamoto´s brain is better.

[druhihulili]

well, he surely is good composer of pop-like music and i think this piano theme is so popular as the movie is. Sakamato-san - by the way- played his captain Yonoi perfectly! hontou no bushi datta yo!!!

[djfakt]

So many shit-heads post their "playing" but nine times out of ten it's trash. THIS is somebody who knows how to play the piano (too bad you're not using a REAL piano though). WONDERFULLY played!

[charlieworth67]

Bravo! Beautifully played....

[mekkabon]

I always love coming back to this vid and listening. <3

[Dragon22873]

@TheMsAnimeLoverGirl Why are you such a typical thumbs up whore? A double one at that.

[kamuzkation]

FELIZ NAVIDAD SEÑOR LAWRENCE Y DESPUES PELAS....... QUE EMOTIVA LA PELUCULA.!!

[PyroclasticJoe]

Sublime.

[mythios]

[Pikennethnoy]

[satisfy2000]

@TheMsAnimeLoverGirl

[wccira]

@TheMsAnimeLoverGirl Your so gay for posting that makes sense since your name is so retarded.

[Blotto2008]

@wccira You're***** so retarded for not being able to write a coherent english sentence.

[mekkabon]

@TheMsAnimeLoverGirl lol...cause your mom would first and formost be concerned if you're killing people by yourself or not XD

[Just4Th3Lulz]

@TheMsAnimeLoverGirl the other 250 including myself have no need to kill the 18 common folk for we don't see real reason or any reason to at all.

[garrakz]

@TheMsAnimeLoverGirl u really need to stop with all the fking o im going to kill the dislikes with the people who like this vid. WE DONT CARE!!! we are here for the song, not for ur stupid thumbs up advertisement!!!
