Kyu Sakamoto - Sukiyaki - Ue O Muite Arukou.

[wilsonmello10]

Uma das mais belas músicas de todos os tempos. Eu era moleque, mas nunca a esqueci. One of the best music of all times. I was a little boy but I never forgot it.

A versão em português é igualmente maravilhosa.

The portugueses version is likely wonderfull.

Os povos podem viver em paz, basta querer.

People can live in peace, music holds us in peace.

なんでわざとずらして歌うの？

[Aussiesound1]

Brings back memories of my time in Eta Jima Japan and being the first Aussie DJ game to play the song in Australia. Kyu opened so many doors to the the West after WW11 and began much of the healing process required by us all especially those who served on both sides. What a wonderful face and artist. RIP a ground breaking Japanese Star.

[Meekay100]

this is the only asian artist that make it to number 1 in us billboard for 3 weeks... all my respect to you kyu sakamoto. :)

[Sh1ntoe]

Whistle solo! Was this the first song to use this tune?

[kathryndeleonable]

I loved this song as a child, it was part of a life-long fascination with Japan which led to my living and working in Japan for 4 1/2 wonderful years. Some of my best memories of living in Japan are of singing this song (in Japanese!) at karaoke with friends and co-workers. So nice to see this video and remember Japan.

[Butterball121252]

can't believe I was only 11 when this came out, I remember it like yesterday ... thanks to modern technology I can finally see him, so sad to hear that he has passed away at such a young age ... I love the whistling too ... my dad whistled like that, hearing this makes me miss him ... thanks for this treat!

[phom426]

[YounngRose]

Aww...

[guamandjiujitsu671]

such a great song. I wish music was still like this today. Music is such a universal language and the one common ground in this earth

[mrrailroad51]

Im 57 yrs old and i know the song from the 60s , its a wonderful tune and loved it then and it will live for ever in the music world. Im very happy to see the young people like it too .

[aLuMiNuMfAiL]

i get goosebumps every time i listen to this song.

the lyrics are so inspiring and beautiful.

[djjimmylee]

My Mum gave me a collection of 16 vinyl singles from when she was a girl. I treasured them and I then became a DJ. My ex wife or ex lodger stole my entire collection whilst I was DJing abroad almost two decades ago. This was my favourite of the lot and I still remembered the words from a child (or my memory of them) after all these years. It is the first time I have heard it in decades and it brought a tear to my eye as a 42 year old man. Lovely song

[mullity1952]

Another song from my childhood and prefer this version to the English Version. He put his heart and soul into the song . He left his mark on this world with this song that I am sure will be listened till long after I am nothing but dust.

Do you need to understand the words to enjoy a song?

[archdes10]

i heard this song in english version, don't have idea it was originated by japanese singer back in 60. nice song.

[Ontariosooner]

I remember hearing this song when I was a child. I loved the melody. Many years later I heard it again and later I heard an english version. A beautiful song then and now in both languages.

[mumiakickboxer]

adoro essa música!

[ra15899550]

Beautiful song. Never understood a word in that song when I listed to it on radio AM, KOMA Okla. City, Ok back in 1963 but the tune will always linger in my mind. RIP Kyu Sakamoto.

[TalmaLennon]

AWESOME ! ! ! FANTASTIC !!!!

[TheMong1963]

Kyu Sakamoto...You are so great.

[shogun54]

"Look up as you walk, so your tears won't fall."

[lukeaaa1]

haha his timing is completely off

[Thisisquitealongname]

@lukeaaa1 It's not so much off-timing as it is tossing the song around a bit.

You know, because you get bored of singing the same song for 20 years.

[Eipk]

LONREY NIGHT

[theministroband]

Peace

[Tauvarish]

Love it =)

[155kacy]

did he sing this in english?? if so, where can I find it??

[edddk12]

@15I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT ON HERE-SURE WOULD LIKE TO HEAR IT TOO IF HE EVER DID.

[edddk12]

Please see my comment above-it didn't get posted as reply to you for some reason.

[edddk12]

I was in Montreal then too, and the memories are amazing. Easy to be sad listening to this, but that smile makes it impossible.

[edddk12]

Nice comment-memories can be wonderful, not necessarily depressing-especialluy when you see this smile. What a great performer, song, and memory.

[ellen38muziek]

SEE MY OTHER COMMENTS. HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN AS ELVIS. WHAT A VOICE, WHAT A WHISTLING. GREAT VIDEO TOO.

MR BEE FROM ZOETERMEER, THE NETHERLANDS

[ricktiland2]

How could anyone dislike this song? It is the most beautiful song...

[TheBronnieb]

I love this song and this is the original ... a band called 4PM did an english version which is quite lovely too. But this is by far the best (and I cant understand a word)! :)

[lunskilledl]

omg i like his cheerful face =D

[shnglbot]

@lunskilledl i know, right? i get happy just looking at him! : D

[nickums69]

Wow this man could whistle! A great gift from God and God took him back because heaven needed another voice in the International choir.

[sushisalmon11]

english interpretation

look up and walk on

so that the tears dont fall down(your face)

remembering a springs day

a lonesome night

[jwalker7622]

I wish I had the whole translation, Imagine us Americans calling it Sukiyaki ouch. Some of the words are I walk looking up because of the teardrops in my eyes.

[icemanace69]

This song gets me back down to a memory lane.......

[icemanace69]

This was the first song presented to me by my Japanese girlfriend when I was transfered to Japan from Malaysia in 1984.......Love you all Japanese humble people whom had help me during my stay there.....thank you

[orlandosidas]

It"s is a wonderfull!!!!Big music japanese...

VERY GOOD

Rose....kiss

[damanfrom808]

sukiyaki was a huge hit in hawai'i, and still is sung every night somewhere in hawai'i. kyu sakamoto was awesome, a genuine pro, look at his smile and the feeling he sings with, and its a beautiful song. i was in the 7th grade when i first heard this song...later as a musician, whenever i had japanese visitors at my show, i would ask if they wanted to sing and if they did i whoud ask them to sing sukiyaki...and they would, much mahalos to kyu sakamoto and jj for this awesome video.

[kerjan1]

[lrein077]

OMG, it was a pleasant memory of Ue o muite, aka Sukiyaki. I remember learning the lyrics of this song in Japanese language class in high school. I can still recognize the writing. Doomo arigatoo gozaimashita Sakamotosan.

[rarex50484]

Awesome how he's on top of his whistling skills.

[Allard88]

He looks so happy! :)

[yeonjiLuvv]

[crawfish999]

Perfect. The best. A wonderful song. I was 12 in Montreal Canada when I first heard it. It will live forever as will Sakamoto Kyu. Rest in peace.

[bambibethy18]

Makes it feel like 1963 all over again. Long live Kyu.

[TJCATLOVER]

[compaoreflorentin]

It is during a short stay in Japan that My japanese teacher shown me this song. I immediatly recognise it as a great one! And since this time, I wake up and sleep with this song.

Unfortunatily, I found that He dead in aircraft accident! As Japan two cities bombing make Japan refuse weapons that this Famous Aircraft accident make Japan take a great decision to avoid Aircraft Accident .

Thank Japan to give to the world a Great singer that time can't erase from mind!

[bprom215]

[Jojo11028]

[shabushi1997]

i love kyu sakamoto very very !!!!!!!!

[gaAry1]

i don't have idea what is he saying, but the melody inspires me peace.

nice song.

[givemesomeadobo]

@gaAry1 its actually a sad song. he made it seem so cheerful though .....lovely <3

[adelleda666]

@gaAry1 singing about lonliness and a broken heart :((( but he didnt write the lyrics... hes happy :)

[samisunc]

@gaAry1 I'm looking up while walking so the tears don't fall remembering all those spring days. But tonight I'm all alone.

[windtamer1217]

@gaAry1 I thought it was a really nice song until I had to translate it in Japanese class. Its actually a sad song. I still love it though :)

[Ballooner360]

I was listening to this when I fifteen. Such a beautiful song. It's one of the top played songs on my phone <3 Brilliant man <3

[kjlsder]

J'adore

[naganofan1]

For some reason he reminds me of makoto nagano from sasuke

[Legionario1879]

Que recuerdos de mi niñez se asoman con esta canción.

Gracias Kyu

[jose09ful]

Excelente, excelente sobran las palabras. Un saludo al mundo desde Costa Rica, paraíso de paz.

[musicclip03]

In de 60er en 70er jaren wed dit voeger thuis veel gedraaid. Super dat ik hem net op internet vond. Mijn vader bracht het nummer mee toen hij nog over de wereldzeejen voer. Bedankt pa.

[MWDarkAge]

The Russians did NOT shoot their jetliner down! Sheesh. On August 12, 1985, Kyu Sakamoto died in the crash of Japan Airlines Flight 123 when it suffered mechanical failures 12 minutes into the flight and 32 minutes later crashed into two ridges of Mount Takamagahara in Ueno.

I love this song and the melody is enchanting. Kyu was an incredible talent and it was indeed a tragedy to lose him at, what some say, was the height of his career.

[waldirsoa]

kiu sakamoto foi com esa musica o numero 1 no Brasil simplesmente linda hino nacional no japon nota 10 e um pouco mais

[Maiku87]

i just heard a few months ago this song by chance on a selection album of 63' and i become adicted, his voice is relaxing me in a way i can't describe.

[jstultz3]

he died in plane crash i 1981

[baronor2]

to us korean war vets this was our number one song like lilli marlene in world war II and can take my eyes off of you in the vietnam conflict. el rojo

[kerjan1]

brill

[archangele1]

I believe he was on that ill fated jet liner the Russians shot down in the 80's. This song is so beautiful. The english translation is all wrong, though. This song still stirs emotions in just about everyone almost 50 years after it first played on American radios. Something about the words (if you understand Japanese at all) and that melody that just makes me forget everything bad in my life.

[MrVampiredog]

how did he died?

[Ghostdog162]

Truly the best voice I have ever heard - the true sound of calm.

This song soothes me, even the deepest set bitterness in me melts away. It makes me want to love again.

n I'd kill to possess his whistling powers! Imagine tooting that as you stroll down the road!

[skibluiz]

for the ages...

[Allocator5]

may he RIP. Such a lovely voice. Not only a great loss 2 his family & the Japanese people but 2 the rest of the world as well. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheHappinessmusic]

I loved this music at the first "sight" already as a child, I was fascinated with the enchanting voice of Kyu Sakamoto and with his all gentle being. Saddens me today to hear this song with him, because I remember a beautiful phase of my existence and that he had left so early... This is one of the most beautiful record of my recollections ...

[thecooliphonegirl]

brings back memories of doing a dance to this for japanese in a school concert. beautiful song :')

[ShintaHimura9]

He is THE BUDAH

[delijdewolfe]

As always... the original is always the best. No one can sing it better than Kyu Sakamoto. And that whistle........geeeeeeeez

[Ex3ntor]

o.O

[kavedog]

May he R.I.P.

[houselm]

Fantastic. Great to hear again.

[kjlsder]

super ! bravo tres belle chanson !

[patric1127]

Domo Arigato. Great to see this back on You Tube. Great music to relax the mind.
