Tokyo Warhearts is a live album by the Finnish melodic death metal band Children of Bodom which was recorded in the year of 1999, when the band only had two albums released. It was recorded and filmed on July 10 and 11th of 1999. The band and their record label, Spinefarm Records, had plans to release the show as a DVD along with the CD, but they reached the conclusion that there were some mismatches between the video and the audio, as there was video footage from two different shows.

Two of the songs from this album have been released separately for promotional purposes and can be found on a Spinefarm DVD compilation: Silent Night, Bodom Night and Deadnight Warrior.

Track 1 covers a segment of Jan Hammer's "Crockett's Theme" from the Miami Vice soundtrack.

The intro for track 9 is a strain of music called "Hummel Gets the Rockets" which was composed by Hans Zimmer and Nick Glennie-Smith for the 1996 film The Rock.
