- Sissel Kyrkjebø performing "Sukiyaki" in a TV-concert from Oslo Concert Hall, Norway in 1988. Click on CC for English subtitles.
"Sukiyaki" or "Ue Wo Muite Arukō" (上を向いて歩こう?, "I Look Up As I Walk") is a Japanese-language song that was performed by Japanese crooner Kyu Sakamoto, and written by lyricist Rokusuke Ei and composer Hachidai Nakamura. Ei wrote the lyrics while walking home from a Japanese student demonstration protesting continued US Army presence, expressing his frustration at the failed efforts. In Anglophone countries, it is best known under the alternative title "Sukiyaki," a term with no relevance to the song's lyrics.
The song reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 charts in the United States in 1963, and remains to date the only Japanese-language song ever to have done so. In addition, it was and still is one of the few non-Indo-European languages' songs to have reached the top of the US charts. It is one of the best-selling singles of all time, having sold over 13 million copies worldwide. The original Kyu Sakamoto recording also went to number eighteen on the R&B chart. In addition, the single spent five weeks at number one on the Middle of the Road charts. The recording was originally released in Japan by Toshiba in 1961. It topped the Popular Music Selling Record chart in the Japanese magazine Music Life for three months, and was ranked as the number one song of 1961 in Japan.
Well-known English-language cover versions with altogether different lyrics include "My First Lonely Night" by Jewel Akens in 1966 and "Sukiyaki" by A Taste of Honey in 1980. The song has also been recorded in many other languages.
Sissel, the international singing sensation from Norway, is widely regarded as one of the finest and most talented sopranos in the world. Her crystalclear voice has made Sissel a national institution in Norway. Sissel has sung all over the world, selling over ten million solo albums. She contributed the haunting vocal tracks for the soundtrack to Titanic. She has been doing great duets with singers like Placido Domingo, Jose Carreras, Andrea Bocelli, Bryn Terfel, Russell Watson, Mario Frangoulis, Josh Groban, Neil Sedaka and Charles Aznavour. A very remarkable voice you will only hear once in your lifetime.

This norwegian singer has an angel voice. She sings better than a nightingale.
Not a translation. She's made up new words
@@neeleynoneait is norweigan
@@elsasimberg4620 still not a translation. She made up new lyrics
I have no idea how the original text goes in english and I dont understand the original language of Sakiyaki, but perhaps they need to change something to fit the melody.
@@elsasimberg4620 sukiyaki is the Japanese national song. If you look for it you can find the original lyrics. I have not found one English rendition that is an actual translation most are completely different words and meanings. There is not one English rendition that is an actual translation
What a voice! I don't have the words to say now. Pure beauty.
日本を代表する曲、素晴らしい歌唱力で歌い上げて頂きありがとうございます
日本人を代表してお礼を申し上げます
I fell in love with her voice when she sang most of the vocals for TITANIC in 1997. Celine Dion sang MY HEART WILL GO ON, but Sissel sang the rest.
I loved to hear Kyu Sakamoto sing this but Sissel sings it as good as anyone. Better. Love her voice.
OMG this girl has the most beautiful voice I’ve ever heard 🥹
und was ist mit der hier: th-cam.com/video/hX3s2v6qGYo/w-d-xo.html&start_radio=1&rv=Q8ZHvw4Lfdw
The purest, sweetest, most pleasant sounding voice on planet earth clearly belongs to Sissel. 👏👏. Now my ears are happy.
What a beautiful voice....
I always admire Sissel's mastery of singing in so many different lanquages .
In earlier youth or in later mature years Sissel has enthusiasm and joy beaming
from her out to her audience. Always giving us those cute coy movements in
her facial expressions. Sissel is really very confident in her performances.
Her singing skill & beauty grips us.
Early Sissel. A magical voice and a natural beauty.
A beautiful song, sung by a gifted singer is a pleasure to hear in any language.
I completely agree. Sissel can sing in any language and it always sounds absolutely stunning.
Best best best voice cover of this song even though it's not in Japanese or English. Beautifully done!!
I'm sure she's nervous as would most be, performing before a large audience, but at 18 here, she seems so composed and assured in her presenting and confident in her voice. Her determination to be a remarkable singer is clear at this stage.
Sissel, so beautiful and proper Norwegian dress. Love the native language with a few Japanese phrases thrown in. You are a Star.
I can hear the wind sing, I remember Sukiyaki
The melody of memories, Sukiyaki ah ha ah ha ah ha
It once became, the song of memories
The song from the land of the rising sun
Hear the wind singing quietly, it's singing Sukiyaki
Now we are listening, Sukiyaki ah ha ah ha ah ha
We are making connections, you gave your hand
Far away in the land of the rising sun
Songs are flying widely, they are like flying birds
Humming gladly, chasing away all the sorrows
Listen to the four winds, they're humming Sukiyaki
A melody, Sukiyaki ah ha ah ha ah ha
Listen for yourself someday, pure is the sound
The song from the land of the rising sun
Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ah
Listen for yourself someday, pure is the sound
The song from the land of the rising sun
Songs`re flying widely, they are like flying birds
Humming gladly, chasing away all the sorrows
Listen to the four winds, they're humming Sukiyaki
A melody, Sukiyaki ah ha ah ha ah ha
Listen for yourself someday, pure is the sound
The song from the land of the rising sun
The song from the land of the rising sun
The song from the land of the rising sun
Most beautiful singing ever. Young Sissel sings with her coloraturvoice like an an angel or nightingale...❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sissel has such a clear and beautiful voice. ❤️❤️❤️👍😊
Wow... I love this so much. hearing this song brought me back. to my memories of childhood.. St Paul Mn USA. Irish heritage. I know a Japanese song Huh? Kyu Sakamoto. was very beloved in my Home.... I feel so comforted each and every time I hear it.. this new version for some reason brought me that same... not the exact same comfort.. but some, close comfort to that of Kyu Sakamoto. who mesmerized me... as a tiny child
I can not understand a word she sings, yet so Beautiful her voice and smile...
She’s just so sweet with an amazing angelic voice.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍😊😍
(^~^) Greetings from Japan ! ♥(^~^)♥ 日本からのごあいさつ！！
★ Dear Sissel and Sisselfan ,
Thank you for singing Japanese song ! Your voice is soothingly beautiful ! !
♥ A lot of appreciation to Norwegian people from Japan ! with ♥ LOVE
Sissel - The Voice of Norway!
Svein Grimstad i’m from sweden and it sounds like swedish but not the title
@@cyloops64 The sound of Norway. Malene something is the sound of Sweden.
Lovely Sissel. Such clarity. ❤️❤️❤️❤️👍😊
The versatility and amazing interpretation of this song blows my mind. Such talent.
I love this performance. Wonderful.
I never thought I'd hear anyone other than the original artist sing this - let alone Sissel - wow! Thanks for posting. A beautiful girl with a stunning voice.
i was coming to this with low expections as i really love kyu and his song. but this was actually very beautiful
I instantly liked this 2 minutes of absolute music magic
The most beautiful Sukiyaki on TH-cam.
I absolutely agree. It is the best.
agreed
Or anywhere else.
Eurodanceheaven Let us not forget the man that sang this song into being forever loved by the world, released in 1963. I could listen to his version many times. The late Kyu Sakamoto. It is on UTube. Sissels tribute is very, nice.
It feels weird to hear the voice of Ariel sing Sukiyaki... but so pretty, too :,D
Ue Wo Muite Arukou, or as we knew it in the west: "Sukiyaki" apparently had such an impact that it became its own word with a new meaning. The lyrics in the Scandinavian versions sing about love over in the land of the sunrise and mentions cherry blossoms, and how they remember "Sukiyaki."
While it probably sounds strange, since ya know... sukiyaki is a dish... x,D it's still nice to hear a translated version making a tribute to its own original self.
Annausagi2 awesome😭
@@creepy_vpig The Japanese lyrics in the original are the most beautiful though :)
@@Annausagi2 it's nice to see people get it though, despite the silliness of the westernization
Loved that song for year's, now I've heard it in English your voice was beautiful ❤❤❤
She has the voice of an angel and in my opinion is the best version ever of Sukiaki closely followed by Kenny Ball's instrumental version.
most beautiful voice Sissel ❤️
That voice.
Perfect.
La mejor versión de Sukiyaki, hermosa interpretación, siempre la escucho al despertar (saludos desde Lima, Perú)
日本語の歌詞と違うけど聞いてるだけで歌って素敵だなぁって思う
09 15 2023 ❤❤❤❤❤ amazing. I just fell in love 😊
Fantastic 😊
So beautiful Sissel,...and an honor to our Marines and the Japanese who fought and died with honor.
YOU MEAN IN LIKE….WWII?!?!???! BRUH WHAT THEYRE WAR CRIMINALS😭😭😭😭
this song is beautiful in any language
This is the most beautiful thing I've experienced today

Still listening to Sissel in 2022. Love this song and Sissel❤️❤️❤️👍😊👏
A sheer delight!
That voice, crystal.
Please come to America. What a voice. Bravo!
She has many times.
Bravo, Sissel! This is an exquisitely touching Norwegian version of 'Sukiyaki'. You have an angelic voice to melt hearts anywhere.
Thank you for sharing! 😺
0:21 that note she sang was just 😍
so sweet
Angel voice
日本では上を向いて歩こうという題名ですが、
外国ではSukiyakiという題名で売られました、
スキヤキは日本では上を向いて歩こうみたいなものです。

Wow amazing, man the internet is a labyrinth of wonder..
This song provided relief and encouragement to the Japanese people
who were suffering from the pain and poverty of defeat of war.
A famous song sung to overcome sorrow in Japan.
Shes really good!!!!
So beautiful and talented, hairs stand to on my arms every time I hear her sing.
Just angelic and beautiful words about love. Was Japan's healing song after so much devastation and death.
Natural beauty & voice!.
歌詞にSKIYAKIって出てきているのは斬新だな
It’s just a beautiful,,,,,beautiful
She is a nightingale from Norway. Worlds best crossover soprano from Bergen.
Very good song,
I think it's sad how people don't see the irony in Ue o Muite Arukō being named Sukiyaki in the western hemisphere and at the complaining about how she references a beef stew. She never once references Sukiyaki as a beef stew, but as its own self, a tribute. But I guess if Sissel had just named the song "Kjøttbolle" (Norwegian for meatballs), all of you would have been quiet and happy.
The irony is really strong in this one, people even complain in their own language. I know a lot of translators are not precis, but luckily some good people have translated the text into English so you might analyze and understand what the song actually is about. She is not just speaking jibberish, its a tribute to Ue o Muite Arukō and Sakamoto, she is actually singing about the original Japanese song -> in Norwegian -> in front of Norwegians who remember the song as titled, "sukiyaki". Jeeeez
ありがとうございます。感動しました＝
Thank you. I was impressed
wow!! how i admire & envy her singing voice!!
Dressed in authentic Norwegian dress she performs beautifully and honors the Japanese popular song.
SO SO ANGELIC DREAMY VOICE LOVE FROM DENMARK
Her voice lifts souls on high.
lovely the way she sang that song, it was amazing.
Wonderful version in English
In this time of American politics your music is all I've listened to!
It's the only calm I can find.
Your in my heart, thank you for sharing your gift😔.
Sissel always makes me run to the fresh water. Such a beautiful woman.
Linda canção faz você recorda momentos felizes da sua vida
que lindo , this beautiful woman does this this Nordic version. love has no language.
No words can describe this, so I won't try.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
WOW,...Just Speechless at this performance in her non-native language!! Beautiful.
She sang this song in Norwegian. Some words in the song are Japanese like Sukiyaki. Sissel is from Bergen in Norway so Norwegian is her native language.
Having said that, Sissel is well known for singing in quite a few different languages.
Beautiful voice you have!
Ay, pero me encaaaanta! Bellísimos!!!
🐙never mind the singer, did you see the mullet on that piano player??!! Holy dam moly!!! 🤯
She is an absolute delight
My greatest joys are sending soft words to you, listening to your songs & dreaming of the things I'd say if we were together alone.
Beautiful singing love it xx🏍🏍🇺🇸🇮🇪🇬🇧🇮🇹👍
I need a time machine!
My heart is broken after being gifted this voice.
