This “Merry Christmas Mr.

Lawrence” is one of Ryuichi Sakamoto’s signature pieces.

I imagine many people have heard it.

The melody is heartbreakingly beautiful yet somehow noble—immensely sophisticated.

It’s also incredibly immersive, so if you want to dive deeply into music, be sure to give it a listen.

Merry Christmas Mr. LawrenceRyuichi Sakamoto (Sakamoto Ryūichi)

Ryuichi Sakamoto, affectionately nicknamed “the Professor,” boasts a wide-ranging musical background centered on classical music while embracing folk and popular traditions.

His piece Merry Christmas, Mr.

Lawrence—also known from the film of the same name—is likely a tune everyone has heard at least once.

Its oriental-tinged melody and classical ambience create such a powerful impression that vivid scenes come to mind even though it’s an instrumental with no lyrics.

The delicate piano phrases soothe the heart, making it a timeless masterpiece you’ll want to listen to again and again.

This song features striking lyrics reminiscent of medieval battles.

It’s a track by SABBRABELLS, a heavy metal band active in the 1980s.

It was included on their 1985 mini-album “DOG FIGHT.” Their stage costumes also frequently drew attention during live performances.

SHE’S is a four-piece piano rock band.

They’re somewhat on the minor side, but they have a loyal fan base and are drawing attention on the Japanese rock scene.

Among their songs, the one I particularly recommend is Memories.

With its distinctive triplet groove, the track is energetic and emotional throughout.

While it doesn’t span an especially wide vocal range, the chorus features repeated falsetto, making it a song where men with higher voices can really showcase their appeal.

SHOW-GO, the human beatboxer who makes you wonder how he can produce such a wide range of sounds.

Even if you’re not familiar with beatboxing, you’ll recognize how incredible it is when you hear the sounds he creates—you might not be able to explain it, but you’ll understand how amazing it is.

And not only the sounds he unleashes: his singing voice is soothing, and his technique of layering vocals while keeping the beat will draw you in throughout this track.

Earphones recommended—listen closely and take it all in.

This song feels like a snapshot of bittersweet youth.

The lyrics, where sweet-and-sour first love and loneliness intersect, beautifully capture the emotional instability of school days.

Released in November 2015, it’s the band’s milestone first single, three years after their formation.

The groove-filled performance and earnest vocals really strike a chord.

It’s perfect for a passionate set at a school or cultural festival.

It will surely speak directly to teenagers struggling with love.

Sing it with your friends and make some wonderful memories!
