@MelosAntropon You know I can not get a strait answer from anyone on this ,for years I thought it was 1964 ,then someone (a Venture) said '62 and now 1963...it stays for the sake of my own mind...thank you for the comment!
Bobby Vee also did an English translation (different from the Taste of Honey version) on an album. I believe it was on one of the "30 Big Hits of The 60's albums). It's most excellent also. It's a GREAT song no matter who does it!
@thegilker Indeed...there have been many interpretations of this song, but no one to my vast knowledge no one has ever done a Japanese to English interpretation directly.
@thegilker He used the same lyrics as Jewel Akens. Janice Johnson of A Taste Of Honey wrote new lyrics for their version. Akens' version carries the subtitle "My First Lonely Night" starting with line "I hold my head up high"
@harvey1954 This was done at a standard speed of the original kuy Sacamoto vocal, i do not like sped-up version of any Ventures tune, so in this event I will refrain from "Looking it up" and since this has over 32k hits, I cant see why anyone would down it.

@XxshipleyxX just look on eBay ,or Google it up for around 1-4k(+)...the Wilson brother model is economical and almost has the Mosrite sound under 1k!!!
well you could say original, because there's only one Ventures instrumental band. but organic in the sense where when you talk instrumental rock bands of the 60s, the Ventures are the organic, fertile soil where you go to get the 101 [basics].
This is about a boy whos' girlfriend dumped him and the same with kyu Sakamotos' vocal of the song, since it's sung in Japanese. That's from the liner notes of a record album I had along with 11 other song sung in Japanese.
The first was a vocal by Kyo Sakamoto, then a English version in the 80's by A Taste of Honey...I really do not know who wrote the music, however The Ventures instrumental version here was converted by The Ventures. ;-)
This is such a beautiful song... I love it by a number of various artists. Thanks for posting this one... I didn't know the Ventures did a version - I love their music.
Check out: Roadrunner and Tall Cool One by The Wailers. Great instrumentals! -- Loved the pics on this!
I still got a 1964 compact disc with this recording that belongs to my father. I first litened to it when I was just 6 years old in 1972 and I started to learn music becouse of it.
It is a tune that represents Japan. Good old days are recalled when listening to this tune though Japan changed considerably at that time at the time of be announced this tune.
so soothing!

This is actually from 1963, but a flawlessly beautiful recording of the tune, regardless.

Very nice song. Has a bit of a Western feel to it. Like it would be played at the end of a old western film.

Absolutely the most heart-wrenchingly beautiful version of this song ever recorded.
The composer of the melody was a genius, and Nokie Edwards lead guitar take onit is perfect. Thanks for posting, stupullen!

Japan is a good point again.
It entered the sukiyaki sound nature against the background of VENTURES on a young day.
