I was in 8th grade when this song was a huge hit. Everybody sang it, both the girls and boys. You say it is an old song but not to me as it still sings in my head today at age 74.

He sang it in Japanese his own native language and also the Americans love it. He was actually an actor, singer, a family man, and also humanitarian. He died in a plane crash near Tokyo in the 1980s.

I WAS 18 WHEN I HEARD THIS SONG FOR THE FIRST TIME. IT'S ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONGS I'VE EVER HEARD. I JUST SANG IT FOR MY DAUGHTERS AND GRANDDAUGHTER. I SIMPLY LOVE THE SONG EVEN TODAY. I AM 78.............

Thank you for your comment! I'm happy to hear that this song has a place in your family!☺️☺️

While studying Shotokan Karate in 1963, Kyu's song came over the airwaves and we were hooked on the sincerity and calmness of his song. I didn't learn the true lyrics until the other day, almost 60 years later. I now sing "U E O MUITE ARUKOU" every day remembering this talented man whose life was cut short much too early. R.I.P. KYU

Thank you for your comment! Please continue to cherish this song in the future! 😊😊

It IS a cheerful melody, but also wistful - the best of combinations.

So excited to learn this! I've been to Japan twice, and speak a little Japanese. I even watched someone perform this on the street in Kyoto. A beautiful song to add to my repertoire!!

Me too😘

I really appreciate helping to pronounce the Japanese words. This tutorial was so helpful. I never would have tried to attempt to pronounce the words in this beloved song of my youth. 😃

this song seems to be sad and melancoly...thanks for sharing

Sukiyaki is very famous to be used in Thai music contests

Kyu Sakamoto RIP, a great guy and a great singer 🇯🇵🗾🇯🇵

Love this song!

Thank you for this!

So beautiful, one of the best song ever.

Thank you for this lesson. I love this song and have been trying to learn it.

I can’t believe I have found this! I first heard this song a few years ago by complete accident and found the actual footage of Kyu singing it as a young man. Then I read on another piece of information about the Air disaster he was in. Broke me because it was such a shocking end. I kept whistling this song not really pronouncing it properly or understanding. Now I have learnt so much more in 10 minutes that it’s a bittersweet end for my songs journey. Thank you 🙏🏻

Such a beautiful song❤️

I am totally stoked for adding this to my summer repertoire this summer. This is a fantastic piece of music and a great number. My demographic of audience is going to love it.

Thank you so much . This is one of my all time favorite songs.

I recommend playing the song in the first 3 minutes, at least a little to give the video a flavor of things to come.

I so love this song and I have been listening to it all my life. This is such a lovely lesson and a it's privilege to be able to learn it at least so that it can sound a little bit Japanese and I can therefore do it justice. I am English and work for a Japanese company so I will sing this song for sure to surprise everybody. Thanks again.

Thank you so much. You really helped me out a lot.😊 I always sang this song but had trouble with a few words. You truly clarified them in this video.

Yayyyy! I actually sing this song nearly every day and I'm sooooo pleased to learn that I pronounce the words correctly 😍

I have always loved this song. Since I was little... We used to play both the Japanese and English versions

Love it Pal..

Kyu's song comforted my heart during the 60s - I need some comforting now - thank you that I can learn the words to sing it now - bless you!

You seem like a wonderful teacher, and this is one of my favorite songs both the Japanese version and the 4pm version.

I'm very surprised to not find the old Japanese folk song Sakura on your channel. That would be a real gem to learn how to sing.

Very nice 👍 thanks 🙏

I love this song

I've always liked this song, remember back there what it is about. This is especially good for me to learn since I have a friend who lives in Japan, speaks (and sings) good English. I'm fond of her as a male, and would like to learn it. This is great instructions for a cowboy dude who lives in Oklahama USA. Thanx much for this information, ^ and subscribed

Im so glad I found this video. Im very interested in Japan and recently decided to start singing as a hobby. THIS CHANNEL IS A GOLDMINE!!!

Wow this was a great Song I Loved it ! It’s funny i heard it the other day I was so excited to say the least ! They still play it in the United States once in a while !

Thank you. 😊My mom had this record back in the 1960s. I played it so much because I love it. I sang along for many years "thinking" I was pronouncing the Japanese words correctly, haha!! I was "close enough" until I saw your video. This helped a lot!! I'm still rusty on the whistling, however. 😄

thank you, One of my favorite songs. I'm not Japanese but heard this song when I was approx 10 years old and stuck with me since then. It's a catchy song with great melody.

I loved this song when I first heard it... 60 years ago.

Thank you so much. I was 7 years old when this song hit the radio in the U.S. and I fell in love with it. I had no idea what it was about but it felt sad to me. As an adult and a musician I find it really interesting that it has such a happy, upbeat feel to the rhythm, and it's in a Major key, yet it is such a sad song. Thank you for sharing.

I enjoyed this. I recorded a tribute to Kyu Sakamoto 11-years ago, here on KZread, and I don't speak any Japanese at all, but wrote it all out phonetically so I could sing it as close to accurate as possible. This lesson would have come in very handy for me at the time! My phonetic spellings were quite different, but I think the end result was nice. Thank you for posting this. Cheers.

Just a note: The title "Sukiyaki" has nothing to do with the lyrics, of course. The song is known by the first line in Japanese. Capitol Records called it "Sukiyaki" after a British instrumental recording of the tune came out with that title. Sukiyaki was at the time the most common Japanese food available in the West, and the British record exec liked it. A DJ in Seattle, Washington, and one in Fresno, California, started playing the original, and Capitol picked it up for distribution nationwide. In 1963 country singer Clyde Beavers recorded a translated version that didn't chart. A slow version with English lyrics by A Taste of Honey came out in 1981.

Could you put the words up when you sing

4 year old Nonoka Murakata sings this song from Japan.....not bad for a child prodigy singer ....KZread...Nonoka First Take .

For those who are not easily offended there was a swedish song in the 1970's called Sukiyaki syndrome kzread.info/dash/bejne/p4Chr49vhdWontY.html

What about the rest of the lyrics????

Muchas gracias. ❤

Hope you pardon my Aussie accent, but this is how I learned to sing it in Japan way back in the seventies: kzread.info/dash/bejne/YqmezclrpbWzZpc.htmlsi=4YQpjtVlRq0c0vjT

I heard the reason why it’s named Sukiyaki is because North Americans did not what to name the song and just randomly called it Sukiyaki, a Japanese dish.

Does L sound exist?? I thought it just R sound replacing L

@johneyon5257

try listening to a japanese singer with an accent singing an english language song - you'll notice that sometimes they'll get the "L" sound just right - sometimes it'll be "R" - and vice versa - to them - both the "L" and "R" sound alike - to those of us used to distinguishing "L" and "R" - we can't understand why they would confuse them - but imagine the sounds you confuse when you try to speak or sing in a language other than english - sounds aren't like a keyboard - where one note is clearly distinguished from all the others - sounds used in one language overlap somewhat with sounds of another language - it takes a keen ear and careful enunciation to learn to speak perfectly in another language - some people never develop their ear and pronunciation - and retain an accent all their lives

@scottb828

It's really a flipped R sound in the lyrics, almost a D. In Romaji (Roman letters to represent Japanese sounds), it's rendered as an R in "arukou" for example.To pronounce it like an English L sounds odd. We don't associate the flipped R with the letter R in English, but it's close to the way Americans pronounce the T in "water" or the double D in "fodder." 🙂

Cantou certo, mas explicou errado, trocando o r (R) por l (L)

Awwww, when you go over the lyrics in the beginning the background music is distracting me. 🙁

Enjoyed the teaching, but the background music was very distracting and doesn’t match the lesson, especially for this song. Just constructive criticism, not meant to offend.

Thanks for the video... but the background music is quite annoying and doesn't allow you to concentrate on what you're teaching. Consider people with hearing problems and the elderly. For these groups of people, the background music is quite annoying and does not allow them to fully understand what you are saying. Is background music necessary? What does it contribute? Do you know of any study that supports the use of background music when reporting or teaching something? Remove background music, many will thank you. I couldn't finish watching the video, the music is terrible... Regards

take out the annoying music when you talk or lower the volume to the extra minimum

Thank you
