Sukiyaki - Lyrics - Kyu Sakamoto

Sukiyaki, the English title for the song Ue o Muite Aruko ( I look Up When I Walk ) was performed by the Japanese singer/actor Kyu Sakamoto and written by Rokuske Ei and Hachidai Nakamura. It reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1963 and Sakamoto was the 1st Asian recording artist to have a number one song on the chart. He died in 1985 in a plane crash. Sukiyaki I look up when I walk So the tears won’t fall Remembering those happy spring days But tonight I’m all alone I look up when I walk Counting the stars with tearful eyes Remembering those happy summer days But tonight I’m all alone Happiness lies beyond the clouds Happiness lies above the sky I look up when I walk So the tears won’t fall Though my heart is filled with sorrow * For tonight I’m all alone (Whistling) Remembering those happy autumn days But tonight I’m all alone Sadness hides in the shadow of the stars Sadness lurks in the shadow of the moon
