ue o muite arukou
namida ga koborenai you ni
omoidasu haru no hi
hitoribotchi no yoru
ue o muite arukou
nijinda hoshi o kazoete
omoidasu natsu no hi
hitoribotchi no yoru

shiawase wa kumo no ueni
shiawase wa sora no ueni

ue o muite arukou
namida ga kobore naiyouni
nakinagara aruku
hitoribotchi no yoru
**la la la**
omoidasu akinohi
hitoribotchi no yoru

kanashimi wa hoshino kageni
kanashimi wa tsukino kageni

ue o muite arukou
namida ga kobore naiyouni
nakinagara aruku
hitoribotchi no yoru

Heavens to Sessau Hyakawa! This excellent video has over 60 pages of comments! And I am NOT suprised. It's an absolutely charming & delightful version of one of the most beautiful romantic ballads ever written. KUDOS, young lady! You are a beautiful lady with an even more beautiful voice. And your guitar playing is TOP NOTCH! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent with us! You've MADE my day & my week! CHEERS! :)

@JubalCalif wow! thank you--when all I hear are imperfections I must learn to shrug off (or never post anything) the sincerity of your wordsis most encouraging! May your week be wonderful!

I absolutely love this version of this most beautiful love song! I wish I had it to put on my iPod. My daughter is a music therapist and she is using your version (as close as she can). Thank you for making me feel good. :)

やはり歌は心で歌うもの、テクニックではない。

岩崎宏美より良かったです。

I am sooooo proud and happy that this is the first song I ever heard on YouTube, with you playing it Ningyoko. What a breath of fresh air you are . . and thanks for the memories of my childhood (we lived in Japan when in the late 50's for the first 4 or 5 years of my Life). You put your own delicate stamp on 'Sukiyaki', but still managed to get the beauty of the original, and only with a guitar and your voice. Way to go. May GOD always Bless you . . . and the Japanese too . . . and us all.
