  • Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence is an LP by Ryuichi Sakamoto from 1983 released on the Virgin label.

    About this album

    Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence is a landmark film score that established Ryuichi Sakamoto as a singular voice in contemporary soundtrack music. Written for Nagisa Oshima’s 1983 war drama, the music combines spare electronic textures, piano motifs and the haunting title theme that became one of Sakamoto’s most enduring pieces. Its mix of cool restraint and emotional force helped bridge Japanese art cinema, popular music and ambient-influenced downtempo sound. The soundtrack’s influence has lasted well beyond the film itself, and it remains widely regarded as one of the defining Japanese screen compositions of the 1980s.
