上を向いて歩こう [Ue wo muite arukou]
literally "I keep my head up while walking". It´s from 1961 by the honorable Kyu Sakamoto san, who made it two years later Nr.1 in the U.S. Billboard charts and remains till today the only Japanese act to do so.
This song is still a synonym for -Keep -things-goin´- in Japan (a country with incredible suicide rates). Sadly but true Sakamoto san was killed in August 1985 in the most horrible plaincrash in aviation history (JAL 123).
Here's my version. Many thanks to ningyoko for the inspiration and to Anette and Inga for supporting the opening sequence. First seconds are a reminiscence to Kurosawa Akira; 黒澤明 Enjoy ;)

  • Allemand, anglais, français, islandais, et maintenant japonais... mais où dont va-t-il s'arrêter!?

    Nous sommes vraiment sous le charme! Une telle maîtrise de la musique, du chant et des langues, ça en devient presque indécent! :-)

    Mille fois bravo cher Atomino et surtout continue à nous envouter avec tes belles mélodies.
