Rising Sun is a 1993 film directed by Philip Kaufman, starring Sean Connery (who was also an executive producer), Wesley Snipes, Harvey Keitel, and Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa. Kaufman, Michael Crichton and Michael Backes wrote the screenplay, based on Crichton's novel of the same name (From Wikipedia).

During a party at the United States offices of a Japanese corporation, a professional escort (Tatjana Patitz) is found dead, apparently after a violent sexual encounter. Police Detective Web Smith (Wesley Snipes) and John Connor (Sean Connery), a former police Captain and expert on Japanese affairs, are sent to investigate.
During the initial investigation, Smith believes the evidence indicates a sexual encounter and murder; however, Connor insists there is a deeper involvement by the corporation. After a grueling investigation, Connor receives a disc which contains the surveillance footage from the night of the murder. This later turns out to be a digitally altered video of the actual murder.
The alteration implicates Eddie Sakamura (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa), who is the son of a wealthy Japanese businessman (A longtime friend of Connor). After recovering the original unaltered footage, the video shows the prostitute was only unconscious following rough sex with a powerful politician at the party, and a company employee strangled her after the politician left. The head of the company was unaware of the crime and subsequent cover-up, and exiles the perpetrator of the cover-up to a desk job in Japan. The murderer himself runs away when he is identified, but is soon taken care of by Eddie's Yakuza friends, who bury him in wet concrete (From Wikipedia).

The score is composed by the great Toru Takemitsu, in a dark and mysterious style. The best themes are "Taiko Drum Opening" (Powerful Japanese music with percussions) and Tsunami (An excellent exhibition of taiko drums).

Thank you very much, but i believe you're missing Track 2--don't fence me in. If its the old cowboy song, I see why you left it out.

Hoorah! Takemitsu is perhaps my favorite composer, but I've never listened to this score because, I dunno, it seemed like such a bizarre choice for him. Will def check out the expanded release though, thanks :)
