This is my cover of Kyu Sakamoto's "Ue o Muite Aruko." I was inspired to sing this because of the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan... Many of my relatives are still missing, and my heart goes out to them and to all those who died or are suffering through this ordeal. I've always thought this was a beautiful song... it's about keeping a smile on your face and hope in your heart even though times are really tough.

I think I heard that song before. What's the original English title of that song- anyone?

[supershigi]

@elyusai1 The English version is called "Sukiyaki," but the original version of this song is actually the Japanese one.

I lived in Japan for almost three years, and I'm getting old now, but I can clearly remember the people. Back then, I was a corpsman for the Marine Corps. My command asked me if I wanted to go to Japan, and I said, "No." So they sent me... Serenity, intellect, sensitivity, these are all qualities that your people possess in greater abaundance than is to be found anywhere else on earth, and I've been around enough to know. I'm sorry for your loss, Ms. Shigihara. We all lost that day.
