So "Mercenary" here was based on a song Watanabe wrote in the '80s, or even earlier, called "Occupation Army." On May 8, 1984, he and two other people gave a demo concert at Kokusai Gakki Sha Hall in Osaka to show off various electronic instruments: he and Kenji Nakamura showed off different synthesizers (PPG Wave 2.2, JP-8, DX7, Minimoog, OB-8, etc.), and Bill Bruford of King Crimson(!) demoed Simmons drums.

Watanabe has uploaded two audio recordings with pictures from the peformance: "Occupation Army" and "The Sheltering Sky"

EDIT: He's revealed that a couple more songs here were also based on original compositions he wrote earlier:

"Salonika" was originally "A Triumphant Return": https://twitter.com/encorewat/status...17342022459392
