"Kimi ni Mune Kyun" was also covered by Jan Linton,and who under the name "dr jan guru" made releases with Bill Nelson, Masami Tsuchiya and Richard Barbieri of Japan. These are hard to track down as most of the releases seem to come out in Japan only but I ve found some downloads at a UK site www.burningshed.com/store/janlinton and on itunes.
"Sequential sakura" which is co-credited to Barbieri, really reminds me of YMO at times too, quite nice.

Here's their 2010 World Happiness setlist:

Lotus Love (Hosono on vocals)
Daytripper
ONGAKU
TAISO (Sakamoto Ryuichi sang through a loudspeaker, issuing orders to two male dancers who joined the band onstage for this number)
Thousand Knives
Behind The Mask
Tibetan Dance
Thank You For Talkin’ To Me Africa (with Crystal Kaye on vocals)
Rydeen
Fire Cracker
Encore: Hello Goodbye (Takahashi Yukihiro on vocals)

This seems a lot more like the kind of set most of you were expecting. Been youtubing a few of these and found it pretty good. For the record I really did like their 2008 sets with mostly Sketch Show material, though I understand that they were kind of dull. Stuff like "Mars" and "Flakes" work well on the record but they don't make sense live. And yeah I could definitely go without hearing Sakamoto's "War and Peace" again.
