Notes
These are  Scenic Footage Videos, where the arrangements of Paul Mauriat are played against some scenery around France. There are claps between the videos so probably the source is from a live performance.
Track 14 - Nagekidori - Mauriat arrives in his car to a river and he drops and watches a little boy fishing and a little girl watching in the same boat, then Mauriat walks in the woods and a boy and a girl walking in the road, caressing a bird, playing. Mauriat enters the mansion and the boy and the girl are watching the swans.
