Jun 19, 2008 - The appeal of Ue wo muite arukou (Sukiyaki)goes beyond mere nostalgia. I remember feeling that there was a haunting quality about Kyu Sakamoto's rendition of that song from the first time I heard it, back in 1963.

Jul 29, 2008 - You did a wonderful job on this video. Kyu-chan had a great talent. In my mind, he is/was as big a talent as Sinatra. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Aug 7, 2008 - This song (Sukiyaki) was my parents favorite. We lived in Japan in 1960 -63. My mother died in 1980 and my father has been trying to find this song. I was only 5-6 when I heard this song but remembered it like yesterday when I heard it. Beautiful memorial.

Oct 4, 2008 - Lyrics (partial): It's all because of you, I'm feeling sad and blue You went away, Now my life is just a rainy day and I love you so, How much you'll never know You've gone away and left me lonely. Untouchable memories Seem to keep haunting me Another love so true, That once turned all my gray skies blue But you disappeared, Now my eyes are filled with tears And I'm wishing you were here With me soaked with love all my thoughts of you
