David West - Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence (Ryuichi Sakamoto) 戦場のメリークリスマス 

thank you and RIP Prof.

I close my eyes...and it's the Maestro playing his piano again.

Even though 8 years have passed, I still think your playing is the best. It makes me come back again.

今日初めて聴かせて頂きましたが、とても素敵な音色でした。涙が溢れました。有難うございます！

Very beautiful your interpretation. It is as if you have heard and understood the inner Sakamoto's message.

Did you arrange this by ear? If so, this was outrageous! It's so similar or maybe identical to the original!

its nice!!

Superbe !

@Modecaster Thank you for that extremely wonderful comment!

很感动，很好听！

Actually I passed by to get some ideas for left hand voicings, as I'm working on that tune quite intensely at the moment. Couldn't concentrate on techniques though while listening to your interpretation :-D Very beautifully played, David West!

Perfect (> ~.~)> NICE 👌👌👌👌

Never too late to learn. I did, thanks to youtube... hahahahaha!!!!

@davidhopperman Hey bro! Thanks man! :)

A little fast but so beautiful!!! ,Thank you from Japan.

Thank you! I wish it was mine too ;)

@tannahwa Thank you :)

I hope this song can be played on Spotify again!

Beautiful playing, sound and versioning. BTW, I'm struggling to find the score for this version (which is quite similar to the one played by Ryuichi). Any suggestions?

beautiful... amazing..... I just love the way U play. What a talent!!!! check my own version of this song...

Haha! Du är för go du, Viggo! :)

let's do a Forbidden Colors cover together - I sing...

I'm trying to cover your music at 1years, but I can't make plentiful harmony like you. I'm really curious about left hands score. would you please send to me your score?

A beautiful rendition. For me, Salkamoto's theme is a commentary on the absolute pity of war. The pointless waste of it all.

Hey David can you upload a download link for your version of this song it sounds so nice and peaceful, makes me want to go to sleep haha!.

Beautiful! Where can I buy this arrangement?

why I can’t find this music on Spotify anymore

can't believe there are only 3650 views for this real art while millions of views on some autotuned song
