Lately found myself listening alot to Ryuichi Sakamoto's Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence because it is really a great piece of music.

Beautiful, melancholic and filled with complete sadness.

If you don't know, the music is the theme to the movie of the same name in 1983. A romance war-film set in World War II starring David Bowie and Ryuichi Sakamoto himself, which touches a little on homo-eroticism with regards to the peculiar relationship between Bowie, a prisoner of war and Ryuichi, a Japanese officer.

The theme song really relates well to this relationship of theirs.
