Thank you, Yen. I was only familiar with the sixth track because I used to be a huge fan of Ryuichi Sakamoto. I could upload a solo piano arrangement of that piece if you want. :)

Thank you

Yes please Akashi-san, I don't seem to have that version. I've been to concerts by Ryūichi Sakamoto and his former wife Akiko Yano in London and Japan (their daughter sang track 6 here).

I posted two albums by Sakamoto here (Thread 128225). BTTB contains the track I mentioned. :)

Thanks very much for this very hard to come by OST for a touching story about a lonely railway man staring the great Ken Takakura.
BTW for those interested, this film has just been released on Bluray for the first time.

Glad you like. The new Blu-ray version has English subtitles which my DVD doesn't have.

Yen, do you have the end song in FLAC possibly? This is very hard to find.

thanks

I wish I could get the song that plays over the end credits but I don't know how to copy music from DVD or Blu-ray discs, sorry ArtBis.

I am goin' to have a listen, interesting thanks again Yen_

New link in first post as requested. Enjoy!

I have downloaded this 3 three times, but I can not find it in my downloads.

Does it has something to do with th ename of the file starting with .....?

Hope you can help me out

Hi Judy, I just spotted your post. The file name will be ...Railroad Man, so it should be at the start of whatever you downloaded. I usually created a folder first with the proper film title and then download directly into it. Please PM me in future otherwise I might miss your question. Hope this helps.

Thank you

Thanks a lot for this OST. The movie is a rather nostalgic look back att the old railway systems in Japan. It's a good movie.

very much appreciated. anyone else got the feeling of a lord of the rings resemblance? Especially listening to Pro/Epilogue I can see Frodo wandering around..

The link still works!

Great ! Many Thanks Yen_ Very interesting as always .
