Served in Okinawa, 3 years, early 80's. I love the Japanese people. I learned to speak Japanese. When I heard this song and understood it, I learned to sing it. I would go to pubs with my Japanese friends and they wanted me to sing this song on Karaoke. I'm blonde and blue eyes, and the crowd got crazy. One night they had me sing that song 3 times in a row.

When Japan airplane crashed in August 12,1985 my mother cried so much that I still remember her tearful eyes . Now both of them are in heaven and I hear this fateful song with smile on my face . From California
I look up when I walk So that the tears won't fall Remembering those spring days But I am all alone tonight I look up when I walk Counting the stars with tearful eyes Remembering those summer days But I am all alone tonight Happiness lies beyond the clouds Happiness lies above the sky I look up when I walk So that the tears won't fall Though the tears well up as I walk For tonight I am all alone (Whistling) Remembering those autumn days But I am all alone tonight Sadness lies in the shadow of the stars Sadness lurks in the shadow of the moon I look up as I walk So that the tears won't fall Though the tears well up as I walk For tonight I am all alone (Whistling)
Thank you for your time with translation of this BEAUTIFUL MELODY.... I remember when I was a child I would hear this song on the radio on KRLA 1110 AM.. art laboe and huggy boy along with wolfman Jack they would play this every now and then I never knew what it was saying I just knew it sounded extremely beautiful but I just wanted to thank you for your time with the translation of it...
OMG I grew up listening to this song when I was growing up in the early 60’s, and I’m sitting here listening to this in 2023 with a big smile on my face. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful song and bringing back such fond memories. 🙏🏻 🇬🇧
@@torralba4349 We are almost the same age, I just turned 67 at the end of November? My Mum loved listening to this song and it took me straight back to the good old days?
It hit the top of the charts in 1963. Thats right. Its one of two songs sung 100% in a foreign language that made it to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US! That should let you know this song touched a lot of nerves in 1963. It certainly hit mine at age 11 hearing it on the radio. Still does in 2023.
@@MysteryBoy-x4t see the article in babble magazine entitled: The 8 Foreign Songs That Topped The Charts in US. Very informative. Just saw it. Google it.
I've always been moved by it, even without the English translation. Just the sound of his voice, the sound and flow of the Japanese lyrics and the flow and rhythm of the music, and the accompaniment, including the tuneful whistling, it's simple and it's touching. A beautiful gift to humanity.
As a Japanese person living in California I truly appreciate and love these comments. It was certainly a popular song back in the day which is incredible to me because it’s sung in Japanese.
Me encantó desde el primer momento que la oí en la película Tren bala con Brad Pit, disculpa no se cómo se escribe bien el nombre. Pues la busqué enseguida. Tuve un medio hermano japonés pues mi padre se casó con una japonesa llamada Atsuko Dairaku. Mi hermano lamentablemente falleció a los 30 años 😢. Era un ángel de bueno y noble. Esta canción me lo recuerda mucho. Saludos desde Holanda 🤍🤍🤍
My grandmother who helped raise me passed away this year, as we were going through her stuff my mother gave me some records my grandfather brought back from japan in the korean war and I had to find more music like it and it led me to this, its a beautiful song and its been helping me mourn these last few months. It's so sad but makes me happy at the same time
May your dear grandmother rest in peace, it’s always great to find what grandparents loved and what me memories they cherished. Sending Love & condolences from England 🏴🇬🇧
Yes. I first heard this in 1962, when it began being played on the radio, here in the U.S. I had gotten a transistor radio two years earlier, when I was five years old. This song...it still sounds the same, still makes me feel the same way, fifty years later. Incredible. Still the same feeling.
this gentleman had such a great voice. nothing but the Best may he rest in peace. we need more people like him. people today have no idea how this singer was.God Bless.
I was only 4 yrs. old when I first heard this song, and it touched me so deeply. I looked forward to each time I heard it on the radio. I heard this song on a best songs of 1963 video just the other day and it brought me back to that time, and I felt all of the emotions of joy again.
I was 15 and a Sophomore in high school when this song came out. It was a huge hit with all of us teens. Somehow, this song sang to the young people back then. Great song. Great singer ! Great memories ! 💙
I could never remember when I heard this song played and about what year, so all my life I've hummed it's melody, but no one, not even a DJ, could tell me what it's title was. I was listening to TH-cam songs from my past, and when I got to listen to snippets of 1963, I shrieked when I heard the melody I have hummed all my life. Seems I was just 15 when I heard it played a lot on my little transistor radio. I'm now 75, and no one was ever able to help me, seeing I didn't know what year it was out. thank you, Jesus! I have to do some research now, on a tiny miracle that has been a sad thing all my life....Thank you for uploading this song.
When you have a song stuck in your head and can't remember anything but the melody, and everyone you hum it too knows the whole thing and they don't know what song it is or any lyrics either... it's always this song.
when I was ten , we lived in Brazil, this song was always playing on TV, radio. I loved this song! Heard it on the ship we travelled in , on our way to South Africa. Music does that, it triggers memories.
Heard this song on radio yesterday. No wonder why it’s one of the most hit song back then across the world. Still on the air Dec 2024. Amazingly beautiful.
i hear this and im back to age 5, there was always music playing in our home .Im 65 now hearing this song does send shivers down my spine ,bring a tear to my eye , but also brings a smile and beutyfull memories

WILL ALWAYS LOVE HIM ! WAS YOUNG GIRL WHEN I FIRST HEARD HIM SING ! WILL ALWAYS LOVE FOREVER ! MISS YOU SO MUCH BUT YOUR ALWAYS IN MY HEART AND MIND! ❤💕💋💥💯
I remember listening to this song on the radio when I was a teenager. I didn't understand the lytics, but the melody and his voice was enough for me. Beautiful song!❤
He was so boyish and had such a sweet smile. Also beautiful straight teeth for those days. I live in Hawaii and in the early 60s there was a lot of Japanese music as we also had several Japanese radio stations. So to me this was no big deal and thought the name Sukiyaki was stupid because it has nothing to do with the food. I didn't realize at that time that this song went global and what it contributed to the Japanese-Americans that lived on the mainland. There's a Japanese documentary about this song and how it also affected Japan. They showed survivors of the great earthquake and tsunami singing this song and crying. Very touching.
I remember hearing this song for the first time when I was a boy. I never forgot it and still to this day it touches me. Even though I can't understand the words it is a beautiful sad song.
My mother had another version of this record in the early '40 war years. I loved it ever since I was stationed TDY in Washington Heights Tokyo Japan in the early '60s - attended the Kodokan for Judo & Waseda University where I studied Aikido. Learned enough Japanese to get around, although English was spoken making my experience more than memorable. Always remembered the kindness of Yrico Asano among many others.
I bought his first album in Tokyo in 1963 - it has this song on it. It is red vinyl and the album jacket is blue with a pic of Kyu on it. Still have it after all these years - I can still sing the song in Japanese, after all these decades. A beautiful song of lost love.
I was 10 years old, my sister 13 in 1963 when this song was a hit. We bought the 45 and played it, never knowing the lyrics. Like so many others, we just loved the song. It seemed happy, sweet, romantic.
This is love song. It was called sukiyaki a Japanese food dish of soup, meat, noodles, which has nothing to do with the words of the song, it was just catchy name.
By far my favorite song. I first heard it when I was about six. I fell in love with Japanese culture as a young girl. My daughter is one quarter Japanese, and she has a younger half-sister unfortunately their dad chose drugs over his daughters. I still love Japan and the culture. I will always love this song.
I was listening a different song yesterday and I was reading comment section where someone mentioned about this song . since then I keep listening...such a soulful voice .. So sad to hear about his untimely demise...😢 Just love his song and his voice ❤❤❤❤
He died in a plane crash but because of this song he always be lmortal to me. He will never be forgotten ♥
Thank you take care 🙂

I may not be Japanese but I love this song. I first heard this song when I was little back in the day.
I look up when I walk
So that the tears won't fall
Remembering those spring days
But I am all alone tonight
I look up when I walk
Counting the stars with tearful eyes
Remembering those summer days
But I am all alone tonight
Happiness lies beyond the clouds
Happiness lies above the sky
I look up when I walk
So that the tears won't fall
Though the tears well up as I walk
For tonight I am all alone
(Whistling)
Remembering those autumn days
But I am all alone tonight
Sadness lies in the shadow of the stars
Sadness lurks in the shadow of the moon
I look up as I walk
So that the tears won't fall
Though the tears well up as I walk
For tonight I am all alone
(Whistling)

I was 10 years old, my sister 13 in 1963 when this song was a hit. We bought the 45 and played it, never knowing the lyrics. Like so many others, we just loved the song. It seemed happy, sweet, romantic.
This is love song. It was called sukiyaki a Japanese food dish of soup, meat, noodles, which has nothing to do with the words of the song, it was just catchy name.
I first heard this song when i was on liberty in japan.real upbeat.
By far my favorite song. I first heard it when I was about six. I fell in love with Japanese culture as a young girl. My daughter is one quarter Japanese, and she has a younger half-sister unfortunately their dad chose drugs over his daughters. I still love Japan and the culture. I will always love this song.
I remeber this on the am radio when i was very young.
Another beautiful 60s chart buster. Indicative of the new Japan
I was listening a different song yesterday and I was reading comment section where someone mentioned about this song . since then I keep listening...such a soulful voice .. So sad to hear about his untimely demise...😢
Just love his song and his voice ❤❤❤❤
