Well, the melody for Ryuichi Sakamoto's "Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence" (1983) is a very well known tune that's been sampled many times across the world since the 80s. It's the kind of tune we've all heard but just didn't know where it originated from... until YouTube and Wikipedia came along.

@Jagged85 I just heard a remake of that song and went "O SHIT I know that from somewhere!"
After about 5 minutes of google, wiki gave me the answer: Playing International Karate 15 years ago on my brothers Commodore 64 :D

C64 version sounds better ;)

The International Karate theme music was indeed inspired by Ryuichi Sakamoto's soundtrack for Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence.

Would go well with a Miyazaki film

OMG this sounds rather awful to be honest :D is this a High School band or what? This is full of mistakes. I do respect the effort and even the will to play this masterpiece on a symphonic level. I'm just not too sure with the execution of this intention...

Heh, reminds me more of a movie than a game. :)
