submitted by Raytrace

A beautiful piece of music, titled 'Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence', was written by Ryuichi Sakamoto and played by the Ryuichi Sakamoto Trio during their 1996 world tour:
Ryuichi Sakamoto [piano]
Everton Nelson [violin]
Jaques Morelenbaum [cello]

More info about the 1983 movie this was from and the main score which bears the same title here:

It sounds a lot like something from Chrono Trigger for the SNES (and DS) as well.
