I just sampled the soundtrack on Amazon in hopes of finding a particular song played for only a scene in Black Rain. Nick is in a club getting a visual on Sugai (I think), and this very Jpop song is playing with, what sounds like, several girls singing in Japanese. The beat of this song is a little redundant, if I recall. I will be most impressed and appreciative if anyone can help me out here.
shareI asked a japanese coworker about the song - he did not recognise it. Also I bought an 80's jpop top hits collection and that song was not on any of the 5 CDs - good luck
shareThe song you are referring to is actually on the soundtrack. It's the track entitled Laserman by Ryuichi Sakamoto. The part with the vocals you describe comes in at about 2min 30sec.
shareThat was "Laserman" by Ryuichi Sakamoto, and it's on the soundtrack album.
