Summer of '63.......just put the neighbor kids to bed. Decided to turn on the stereo and started looking through record albums by the fireplace. Found an Japanese album by Kyu Sakamoto and played first song. Oh my.....played it over and over. I was 12yrs old and never forgot this song. Today I am 71 yrs young and remember it like it was yesterday.

One of the most beautiful songs ever written, very melodic and beautiful.

When I was watching TV in the evening August 12 1985, suddenly one urgent news flashed on the screen saying that JL123 lost its trace and was missing. After that I was following all the news on all the channels and some time later they started to report that the flight seemed to have fallen down in an unidentified area among the mountains outside Tokyo and published the onboarded passenger list calling also his real name adding that it was Sakamoto Kyu ( we put family name first) ... I got horribly shocked in that moment... he was very popular in Japan and loved by everybody for so many years not only for his great talent as a professional singer & entertainer but also for his nice, cheerful, sweet, kind character and very charming smile which made all of us his fans immediately... I am sure he is still singing this song near God & angels with this same smile...

In the US, "Sukiyaki" topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1963, one of the few non-English songs to have done so, and the first in a non-European language. It was the only single by an Asian artist to top the Hot 100 until the 2020 release of "Dynamite" by the South Korean band BTS.[7] "Sukiyaki" also peaked at number eighteen on the Billboard R&B chart,[8] and spent five weeks at number one on the Middle of the Road chart, impressive for a non English song.

I'm 75 now and was a teen when this song came out and I fell in love with the music.

Kyu Sakamoto had a lovely voice and was 21 when he made that record. When I first heard this beautiful song, Sukiyaki, in 1961, 63 years ago when I was 14, at the beginning I thought it was Elvis Presley for a moment but very quickly I realised it wasn't. Amazing in that day and age that this song could be a hit in other countries around the world like Australia, where I'm from, even though we couldn't understand the words. The story was about a man who looks up and whistles while he is walking so that his tears will not fall, with the verses describing his memories and feelings. The record with English lyrics by a different artist had nothing to do with the Japanese words.

I look up while I walk So the tears won't fall Remembering those spring days But tonight I'm all alone I look up while I walk Counting the stars with teary eyes Remembering those summer days But tonight I'm all alone Happiness lies beyond the clouds Happiness lies above the sky I look up while I walk So the tears won't fall I cry while I walk For I am alone tonight Remembering those autumn days But tonight I'm all alone Sadness hides in the shadow of the stars Sadness hides in the shadow of the moon I look up while I walk So the tears won't fall My heart is filled with sorrow For tonight I am alone For tonight I am alone

A true International hit for sure. I remember hearing it as a kid in England. The song easily entered all cultures. Sadly Sakamoto died on 12 August 1985 in the crash of Japan Airlines Flight 123, along with 519 others on board the flight. ...

What is striking about the melody and voice tone is that sounds so joyful in spite of the lyrics of sadness and one of the most beautiful whistling tones I ever heard. Sakamoto's song is a happy memory when I was a kid in elementary school.

This is the Japanese spirit. Admit depressing reality, keep your face to the stars and put depression in the shadows. Always walking forward, even when you cant stop crying. Shiawase is waiting above the sky. Better than Prozac imho.

He was likely killed instantly on impact so he didn’t have to suffer while some others died waiting for rescue. Before the he crash he wrote a note to his family on a cocktail napkin. The note was found in the crash site and his wife still remembers what was written on it.

That was a wonderful movie. Every movie in the Ghibli catalog is so deceptively simple, yet so deeply evocative. From Spirited Away to When Marnie Was There to The Tale of The Princess Kaguya to, well, From Up on Poppy Hill, and all of the rest. (And did you notice the 'Ghibli' easter egg in Poppy Hill? When the two kids board the ship to meet the 'third man' to find out the truth about who they were, they climb past a steel plate welded to the ship with the logo 'Ghibli.' Made me smile.)
