Let us walk towards the top 上を向いて 歩こう So that tears don't spill 涙が こぼれないように Spring day to remember Alone night 思い出す春の日 一人ぽっちの夜 Let us walk towards the top 上を向いて 歩こう Counting the bleeding stars にじんだ 星をかぞえて A summer day that reminds me of a lonely night 思い出す夏の日 一人ぽっちの夜 Happiness is above the clouds 幸せは 雲の上に Happiness is above the sky 幸せは 空の上に Let us walk towards the top 上を向いて 歩こう So that tears don't spill 涙がこぼれないように Walking alone while crying 泣きながら歩く 一人ぽっちの夜 Autumn day to remember Alone night 思い出す秋の日 一人ぽっちの夜 Sadness is behind the stars 悲しみは 星のかげに Sadness is behind the moon 悲しみは 月のかげに Let us walk towards the top 上を向いて 歩こう So that tears don't spill 涙がこぼれないように A lonely night walking while crying 泣きながら歩く一人ぽっちの夜 Alone night 一人ぽっちの夜 'Sukiyaki' by Kyu Sakamoto Songwriters: Rokusuke Ei / 中村八大 "Ue o Muite Arukō" (上を向いて歩こう, "I Look Up as I Walk", alternatively titled "Sukiyaki") is a song by Japanese crooner Kyu Sakamoto, first released in Japan in 1961. The song topped the charts in several countries, including the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in 1963. The song grew to become one of the world's best-selling singles of all time, selling over 13 million copies worldwide. "Ue o Muite Arukō" was written by lyricist Rokusuke Ei and composer Hachidai Nakamura. The lyrics tell the story of 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. Ei wrote the lyrics while walking home from a Japanese student protest against the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security Between the United States and Japan, expressing his frustration and dejection at the failed efforts. However, the lyrics were purposefully generic so that they might refer to any lost love. The English-language lyrics of the version recorded by A Taste of Honey are not a translation of the original Japanese lyrics, but instead a completely different set of lyrics arranged to the same basic melody. In Anglophone countries, the song is best known under the alternative title "Sukiyaki" (すき焼き ([sɯ̥kijaki])), the name of a Japanese hot-pot dish with cooked beef. The word sukiyaki does not appear in the song's lyrics, nor does it have any connection to them; it was used only because it was short, catchy, recognizably Japanese, and more familiar to English speakers. A Newsweek columnist compared this re-titling to issuing "Moon River" in Japan under the title "Beef Stew". Well-known English-language cover versions with altogether different lyrics often go by the alternative name or something completely different, including "My First Lonely Night" by Jewel Akens in 1966, and "Sukiyaki" by A Taste of Honey in 1980. The song has also been recorded in other languages. Kyu Sakamoto (Japanese: 坂本 九, Hepburn: Sakamoto Kyū, born Hisashi Sakamoto (坂本 九, Sakamoto Hisashi) and raised as Hisashi Ōshima (大島 九, Ōshima Hisashi), 10 December 1941 – 12 August 1985) was a Japanese singer and actor, best known outside Japan for his international hit song "Ue o Muite Arukō" (known as "Sukiyaki" in English-speaking markets), which was sung in Japanese and sold over 13 million copies. It reached number one in the United States Billboard Hot 100 in June 1963, making Sakamoto the first Asian recording artist to have a number one song on the chart. Sakamoto died on 12 August 1985 in the crash of Japan Airlines Flight 123, along with 519 others on board the flight. Sukiyaki (鋤焼, or more commonly すき焼き; [sɯ̥kijaki]) is a Japanese dish that is prepared and served in the nabemono (Japanese hot pot) style. It consists of meat (usually thinly sliced beef) which is slowly cooked or simmered at the table, alongside vegetables and other ingredients, in a shallow iron pot in a mixture of soy sauce, sugar, and mirin. The ingredients are usually dipped in a small bowl of raw, beaten eggs after being cooked in the pot, and then eaten. Generally sukiyaki is a winter dish and it is commonly found at bōnenkai, Japanese year-end parties. Hot pot or hotpot (simplified Chinese: 火锅; traditional Chinese: 火鍋; pinyin: huǒguō; lit. 'fire pot'), also known as soup-food or steamboat, is a cooking method that originates from China, prepared with a simmering pot of soup stock at the dining table, containing a variety of East Asian foodstuffs and ingredients.
