SWEET REVENGE from Ryuchi Sakamoto - Full Album Listen, Music Videos & More

WHAT-IS: "Sweet Revenge is a 1994 album by Ryuichi Sakamoto. The Japanese and international releases have different track listings, with the international pressing featuring (uncredited) re-mixes of half of the songs." (Wiki).



Featured here today is a Full Album Listen for the "International Version" (the CD album I own, shown here in-hand). Seen above is the music video for "LOVE & HATE" (U.K. Single Mix) featuring Holly Johnson of FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD on vocals, while below is for "REGRET", which I am wholly unsure if it is a "fan-edit" or official MV release, but nevertheless SPLENDID!

The following track "Anna" is on the Japanese version album (Track #9).



A re-recording of "Psychedelic Afternoon" (Track #11 on the Japanese album), featuring original lyricist David Byrne on vocals and sporting modified lyrics, "was released in 2013 as a way to raise money and awareness for children who survived the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami." The following animated music video was released concurrently with the new version.



"Seiji is tormented by horrible tsunami-flashback dreams, but one night he wakes up and his beloved grandfather has appeared. With a strum of his grandfather's guitar, Seiji is transported to a colorful, slightly strange, psychedelic world and finally manages to have a good dream." (Read more here / 13 Mar 2013)
