From the Newspaper:
KYU SAKAMOTO (Capitol)
HOME TOWN: Kawasaki, Japan. AGE: 22
BACKGROUND: Kyu (pronounced "Q") has been a
big star in Japan for almost four years,
racking up eight best selling albums and 15
hit singles in that time, as well as acting
in movies and television appearances. When
Washington state disk jockey Rich Osborne
(KORD) played a track from a Toshiba LP for
his audience recently, entitled "Ue O Mui Te
Aruko" the response was so favourable that
the disk was soon one of the most popular in
Washington State. Capitol Records, the U.S.
associate of Toshiba decided to release it in
this country, but changed the name to
"Sukiyaki."
The Lyrics:
Looking up while walking
Ue wo muite arukou
上を向いて歩こう
So the tears won't fall
Namida ga koborenai youni
涙がこぼれないように
Remebering those spring days
Omoidasu haru no hi
思い出す春の日
All alone at night
Hitoribocchi no yoru
一人ぼっちの夜
Looking up while walking
Ue wo muite arukou
上を向いて歩こう
And counting the scattered stars
Nijinda hoshi wo kazoete
にじんだ星をかぞえて
Remembering those summer days
Omoidasu natsu no hi
思い出す夏の日
All alone at night
Hitoribocchi no yoru
一人ぼっちの夜
Happiness lies above the clouds
Shiawase wa kumo no ue ni
幸せは雲の上に
Happiness lies above the sky
Shiawase wa sora no ue ni
幸せは空の上に
Looking up while walking
Ue wo muite arukou
上を向いて歩こう
So the tears won't fall
Namida ga koborenai youni
涙がこぼれないように
Keep walking on, while crying
Naki nagara aruku
泣きながら歩く
It's a lonely night
Hitoribocchi no yoru
一人ぼっちの夜
Omoidasu aki no hi
Remembering those autumn days
思い出す秋の日
Sadness is in the shadow of the stars
Kanashimi wa hoshi no kage ni
悲しみは星の影に
Sadness is in the shadow of the moon
Kanashimi wa tsuki no kage ni
悲しみは月の影に
Looking up while walking
Ue wo muite arukou
上を向いて歩こう
So the tears won't fall
Namida ga koborenai youni
涙がこぼれないように
Keep walking on, while crying
Naki nagara aruku
泣きながら歩く
It's a lonely night
Hitoribocchi no yoru
一人ぼっちの夜
It's a lonely night
Hitoribocchi no yoru
一人ぼっちの夜

Rare performance by Sakamoto Kyu in Japanese
Television Special.He made his show business
debut in 1960. His biggest hit, Ue o Muite
Aruko (I Look Up When I Walk; "Sukiyaki" in
the West), was released in Japan in 1961.
After its release in the U.S. in 1963, the
song's earnestness and melodic beauty proved
irresistible despite its incomprehensible
lyrics. Against all odds, on June 15, 1963,
the song ousted Leslie Gore's "It's My Party"
to become the No. 1 popular song in the U.S.
"Sukiyaki" remains the biggest international
hit by a Japanese popular singer. Credit for
the song's popularity also is due to the
music by Hachidai Nakamura and the lyrics by
Rokusuke Ei, who is said to have written this
touching evocation of loneliness after his
heart was broken by the actress Mieko
Nakamura. On august 12, 1985 Sakamoto Kyu was
tragically killed in JAL Flight 123, a 747
bound from Haneda Airport in Tokyo to Osaka.
I first heard the song back in the 60 s when
my aunt s neighbor played the spanish
version Naranjos en Flor or Sukiyaki, many
years passed and I visited Japan for the
first time in 1974.
karaoke was making its debut and I heard the
original Sakamoto s version, I reconized the
melody but the lyrics were unknown to me but
definately it was the same song. Inmediatley
I fall in love with the song and made it my
all times favorite. in 1978 We were
celebrating a sayonara party in Michinoku and
the president of my company came out on stage
and performed the song to our surprize in
perfect Japanese.
It was about 3 years ago when he passed away,
I made a long journey to attend his funeral
and realized that the best way to honored him
was to sing his wedding song in front of his
wife, family and friends...I sang the first
part in japanese then the second part in
spanish bringing tears to everyone including
me. If you read this story please click in
the video response in comments to hear the
original spanish version.
Esta bella canción japonesa fue conocida en
Latinoamérica como Naranjos en Flor,
interpretada por Iko Abo y su Tango en Kimono
aunque su nombre en español también fue
Sukiyaki.
La canción salio al mercado en Japón en
1961 en la versión original de Sakamoto Kyu
quien nació el 10 de Noviembre de 1941.
El nombre original fue ... Ue o Muite Aruko
(Miro hacia arriba cuando camino) y
"Sukiyaki" en occidente, e hizo su debut en
USA en 1963. Después del estreno de esta
bella melodía y su incomprensible letra y
contra todo pronostico se convirtió en la
canción # 1 del hit parade americano el 15
de Junio de 1963 desplazando la canción de
Leslie Gore's "It's My Party" hasta hoy ha
sido el éxito mas grande obtenido por un
cantante Japonés. La popularidad de esta
canción también se debe a la bella música
compuesta por Hachidai Nakamura y la letra
de Rokusuke Ei, de quien se dice escribió
tan Hermosa evocación a la soledad después
de que una actriz llamada Mieko Nakamura
rompió su corazón. Sakamoto Kyu murió
Trágicamente el 12 de Agosto de 1985 cuando
el vuelo 123 de Japan Air lines con destino
al antiguo aeropuerto de Haneda chocando 60
kilómetros al nordeste de Tokio falleciendo
520 personas, hubo 4 sobrevivientes siendo
este el peor accidente de un solo avión en
la historia de Japón.
La canción conserva su popularidad en Japón
y en muchos países donde fue todo un éxito.
Mi historia con la canción se remonta a los
años 60 cuando los vecinos de mis tías la
colocaron y la colocaron hasta que me la
aprendí...muchos años después visitaría
Japón en 1974 y fui a un Karaoke bar y la
escuche después de muchos años, y aunque no
entendía la letra, la melodía era la misma
que conocía y me enamore de esta lindísima
canción.Pasaron algunos años y en una
fiesta de despedida o Sayonara Party en Japon
cual seria mi sorpresa al escuchar al
presidente de mi compañia y ademas amigo
cantando esta melodia, el murio hace casi 3
años y viaje a su funeral y me atrevi a
hacerle un ultimo homenaje cantando su
cancion de matrimonio y preferida
...Sukiyaki, la primera parte en japones la
segunda en español y fue verdaderamente
conmovedor, especialmente teniendo a su
esposa, familiares y amigos en frente quienes
vibraron y se emocionaron hasta las lagrimas.
El actual video es de una presentacion
especial de Sakamoto Kyu en la televisión
Japonesa.

english translation:
I look up as I walk
So that the tears won't fall
Remembering those those spring days
But I am all alone tonight
I look up as I walk
Counting the stars with tearful eyes
Remembering those summer days
But I am all alone tonight
Happiness lies beyond the clouds
Happiness lies up above the sky
I look up as I walk
So that the tears won't fall
Though the tears well up as I walk
For tonight I'm all alone tonight
Remembering those autumn days
But I am all alone tonight
Sadness lies in the shadow of the stars
Sadness lurks in the shadow of the moon
I look up as I walk
So that the tears won't fall
Though the tears well up as I walk
For tonight I'm all alone.
