Kyu Sakamoto - Ue o Muite Arukou (I look up as I walk) - aka Sukiyaki

This is a wonderful Japanese song by Kyu Sakamoto. This song was a 1963 hit in the USA and reached the top of Billboard Hot 100 Chart (#3) and Billboard Soul Chart (#1)!!! More amazingly, this is the only foreign song that reached this status in the US chart. The official title of this song is Ue o Muite Arukou (上を向いて歩こう) and it means "I look up as I walk". This song is also known as "Sukiyaki" in English-speaking countries primarily because the word "Sukiyaki" was short and easier for non-Japanese people to recognize. "Sukiyaki" is a Japanese beef dish and has no relation with this song.This song immediately caught my attention after only hearing just few second parts of it in a film scene. I was delighted when I found the name of this song because it took me a quite some time to find it. Enjoy and oh yeah welcome to my Blog!!! :D
