(Which comes as a seperate a full length video also)
#RYUICHI SAKAMOTO TOUR PLUS#
version of the limited edition box which contains a CD plus a CD3 at a hefty price only to later see the Japanese import, which cost more, but included a third CD of portions of Sakamoto's NYC 1988 concert. My version has a bilingual obi saying "playing the orchestra" and nothing else. version had a large sticker on the plastic wrap with the title and "very limited edition" printed on it. He said his obi said Sakamoto plays Sakamoto, which was the name of the concert. (the CD was in a thin case and the obi may have been different). Chuck Wheat tells me he has a presumably international version of the box that is similar to the Virgin America version. The Japanese box looks similar from the outside. The limited edition was a fancy cardboard box with die cut simulated wooden parts, rice paper, tiny rocks, CD3 mounted in the lid. It is still in print as a 2 CD set without the box or CD3 disc. Another of the Sakamoto releases with frusteratingly shifting contents. Those folks who made the cd/concert should have spent more time Rehersing The Orchestra, as the playing is a little sloppy by classical standards. Here you get to hear these pieces played by orchestra, instead of synths.Interesting and different sounding item. The remainder is mostly from Merry Christmas Mr. A number of the tracks are not available on the film soundtrack. Virgin vjd-200/vjd-201/vjd-203 (Japan), SAKCD 1 (International), 2-91002 (USA)Ĭontains live recordings of mostly the Last Emperor with orchestra and RS at the piano. also a special edition box with one 5" CD and one or two 3" CDs. There is an hour long videotape containing the same tour but with a somewhat different set and performances. Generally the arrangements are less "Japanese" and less electronic.

Has Steppin Into Asia in an English translation. Lawrence is in a different but nice arrangement. See also my page on Sakamoto best ofs and collaborations. Ryuichi Sakamoto Live Albums Ryuichi Sakamoto live:
