TITLE: I Look Up When I Walk - Functional Translation, "I Will Look Up when I Walk"
(Translation - Approximate)
I look up when I walk
So that the tears won’t fall
Remembering those happy spring days
But tonight I am all alone
I look up when I walk
Counting the stars with tearful eyes
Remembering those happy summer days
But tonight I am all alone
Happiness lies beyond the clouds
Happiness lies above the sky
I look up when I walk
So that the tears won’t fall
Though my heart is filled with sorrow/Thought the tears well up
For tonight I am all alone
(whistling) (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
I look up when I walk
So that the tears won’t fall
Though my heart is filled with sorrow/Thought the tears well up
But tonight I am all alone
But tonight I am all alone
(whistling) (whistling)
BACKSTORY:
Kyu Sakamoto was a Japanese singer and actor, best known outside Japan for his international hit song "Ue o Muite Arukō" (known as "Sukiyaki" in English-speaking markets), which was sung in Japanese and sold over 13 million copies. It reached number one in the United States Billboard Hot 100 in June 1963, making Sakamoto the first Asian recording artist to have a number one song on the chart.
His international breakthrough came in 1963 - Louis Benjamin, executive of British record company Pye Records. heard the song several times and decided to bring it back to England. Due to concerns that the title would be too hard for English-speakers to pronounce or remember, the song was renamed "Sukiyaki", after the Japanese cooked beef dish familiar to the English. The new title was intended to sound both catchy and distinctively Japanese, but other than the language, had no actual connection to the song.
In 1963, Capitol Records released the song in the USA with the alternate title, eventually selling over one million copies and remaining number one on the Billboard Hot 100 number one single for three weeks in June, 1963.
After the international success of "Sukiyaki", Sakamoto went on a world tour that lasted from summer of 1963 to the beginning of 1964. Among the countries he visited were the United States (including Hawaii), Germany, and Sweden. During his time in the U.S., on 13 August 1963, he was a guest of television program The Steve Allen Show.
Sakamoto's only American album, "Sukiyaki and Other Japanese Hits" (Capitol 10349), peaked at number 14 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart (now known as the Billboard 200) in 1963 and remained on the Pop Albums chart for 17 weeks.
He received his sole foreign Gold Record of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) by Capitol Records on 15 May 1964 in Hotel Okura, Tokyo
** ADDED COMMENT by Emperor Pabslatine/RUclips
To slightly translate the lyrics better. The repeated opening line of the song (and the actual title of the song) 上に向いて歩こう isn't a statement of how he acts, its him stating he will act a certain way in the future. More like "I'm going to look up as I walk" than "I'm already doing it". I feel this subtle difference obscures the point of the song, that its not that the hypothetical protagonist is depressed, but that they are actually falling apart rapidly and cant handle their current situation...
Otherwise, the translation generally comes off a lot more upbeat than the actual lyrics.

Found an Japanese album by Kyu Sakamoto and played first song. Oh my.....played it over and over. I was 12yrs old and never forgot this song.

My aunt Joey would play this with many repeats in one nite. It got to the point the two of us could sing it. OMG I love it and have missed them both. Thanks for bringing it back to life.
Sang this song with a waitress at a Sushi restaurant in Scottsdale,Arizona in preparation for our meal. She only stopped singing when she realized the whole restaurant was quiet and listening to us sing! A wonderful experience! I love this song!💜💜

Ah que linda experiência
I tried to sing this at Karaoke. Even with the words phonetically spelled out, I didn't do so well. I still love this song, tho.
Nice
❤❤
When I was watching TV in the evening August 12 1985, suddenly one urgent news flashed on the screen saying that JL123 lost its trace and was missing. After that I was following all the news on all the channels and some time later they started to report that the flight seemed to have fallen down in an unidentified area among the mountains outside Tokyo and published the onboarded passenger list calling also his real name adding that it was Sakamoto Kyu ( we put family name first) ... I got horribly shocked in that moment... he was very popular in Japan and loved by everybody for so many years not only for his great talent as a professional singer & entertainer but also for his nice, cheerful, sweet, kind character and very charming smile which made all of us his fans immediately... I am sure he is still singing this song near God & angels with this same smile...
Tetsuro Aoi , Kon'nichiwa, Very very nice heartfelt sentiments my friend 😀
Yes, a very GREAT artist and a beloved man. I posted this video so that people can continue to enjoy his music and remember the man. GLAD you enjoyed the video. : )
A completely unlikely hit in the west but it deserved to be
That was prior to the Beatles and The whole British Invasion thing
I don’t know what he was singing about but the song was and remAins infectious and upbeat .Love it
so sad for all those that died in that terrible plane crash ,thoughts go out to all the familys of those that perished RIP. sakamoto kyu will be remembered all over the world for being a lovely happy man .this song will never be forgotten ty for leaving this legacy kyu .
Tetsuro Aoi yes i remember, a terrible crash, and we used to love the song in Australia when it first came out
The song came out in 63, the year my Dad Died I was 15, it reminds me of my Dad. I’m 72 now..
Wayne Pitty My dad was old for the time, 63 born in 1900, 48 years old when he had me..Have great Memories with him..
Jack Jaccarino I’m glad that the song brings back memories for your dad, I have my own songs for my dad

My parents have it on 45, that's how I listened growing up.
I grew up in post war Japan hearing this song. He was Japan’s sweetheart. We all cried when he died.
I remember how difficult and dark it was after the war. We were so poor then. A lot of unrest in Japan. people didn’t know what to believe. This song really carried us through it. We all lived this song.
Thanks for your comments. "..people didn’t know what to believe.." Reminds me of The USA Today... : ( GLAD you enjoyed the video : ) Stay well... R.I.P. the the Great Sakamoto...
He would probably be an internationally known person, had he not died so tragically such a beautiful song.
I am an avid fan for anime and I loved this song as soon as I've heard this from one of the animes I've watch I just can't remember what anime tho... his song shows a lot of strong emotion despite the jolly tune.
He is still remembered all over the world.
2020 has been a horrible year for us all - Sakamoto's song is soothing and his smile also.
I understand why he was so loved in Japan.
Cheers from Denmark.
@@EPA18 I think 1986 was going to be his year

It proves a good song has nothing to do with language . The melody and singing is super .
Most absolutely!!!
and timeless ........
Frans Smulders That is so true of so many songs. I don’t know a word of French, but anything Edith Piaf sings.....
This is a great tune to listen to, but LYRICS to a song are absolutely important.
Couldn't disagree more. The lyrics to this song are first class and totally enhance the singer's performance. I agree that a melody can often be more influential than the words. But, to say 'nothing' to do with language is something that I simply cannot agree with.
Who's still listening to this in 2021?
Even 2022 I'm so happy that this song still lives!!

Kyu Sakamoto was an extremely talented singer and a kind-hearted soul, who became the first Japanese singer ranked No.1 on the Billboard Hot-100 in 1963 (and perished in the crash of JAL-123 in 1985 sadly), but at the same time we must not forget the genius who composed this masterpiece, by the name of Hachidai Nakamura.
YES - I consider this combination of music and vocals together to be an example of a PERFECT RECORDING...
GLAD you enjoyed the video : )
That's sad. What a shame.

Thank you for providing the name of the composer! This beautiful song is timeless, thanks to him and Kyu!
I'm sorry for him... 😯😯😔😔
*Probably already mentioned, but "Sukiaki" was the first Japanese song to scale the charts and hit #1 in the USA - way back in 1963.*
I hope that is true! I could easily google it, but I will take your word for it mate.
Yes indeed!
I was there in 1963... you heard the song everywhere!
Have any been #1 since?
@Dave Trotter *In the US, no other Japanese singer ever reached the #1 spot again.*
Once you pick up the words as a kid they stay forever. It hit number one in England as well as the USA. A massive hit and well deserved. Fabulous gold.

I'm going to play this for my Japanese mom when I visit her tonight. She's 95 and is in the final stages of her life. She was born and raised in Hawaii and had never been to Japan, but she could speak Japanese.
That is really sweet of you! I can tell that you have a wonderful heart!
Esta Cancion esta en mi ADN.Es de mi Juventud.Todos Aprendimos a Cantarla.Nunca supimos que significaba.Pero está aun en mis Recuerdos Bellos...❤️🌷🌷🌷
I was born in Hawaii and the radio stations played this song often. Always loved it.
Love your mum while u have her australia xxxx
@John Herbert thank you. She did pass away a few days after I played this song for her. I cry now when I hear this song as it's a sweet memory of her. She would've been 96 this week.
I loved it from the first time I heard it in 1960's. I've listened to it so many times over the years that I can sing along with him in Japanese. And I don't speak Japanese.

I totally agree! Love this song to this day and I was only about 3 years old when it came out! Knew all those songs as my mom listened to them when I was growing up.

In the US, "Sukiyaki" topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1963, one of the few non-English songs to have done so, and the first in a non-European language. It was the only single by an Asian artist to top the Hot 100 until the 2020 release of "Dynamite" by the South Korean band BTS.[7] "Sukiyaki" also peaked at number eighteen on the Billboard R&B chart,[8] and spent five weeks at number one on the Middle of the Road chart, impressive for a non English song.

Yes... it brings up strange feelings whenever i listen to it and i don't even understand this language
My father would whistle this song while working around the house. Dads whistle was clear, steady and pitch perfect.
This song will always remind me of him.
😥😥😥
So did my dad♥️💖♥️💖miss and love him
😚😚😚
Haha, same. My father did the same. He was a sikh from Singapore, but just love this..
Beautiful memory. Thank you for sharing. Whistlers are special people.
Kyu Sakamoto had a lovely voice and was 21 when he made that record. When I first heard this beautiful song, Sukiyaki, in 1961, 63 years ago when I was 14, at the beginning I thought it was Elvis Presley for a moment but very quickly I realised it wasn't. Amazing in that day and age that this song could be a hit in other countries around the world like Australia, where I'm from, even though we couldn't understand the words. The story was about a man who looks up and whistles while he is walking so that his tears will not fall, with the verses describing his memories and feelings. The record with English lyrics by a different artist had nothing to do with the Japanese words.
Yes as is often the case, the First Version is The Best Version... : )

The only Japanese song that landed number one on Billboard's hot 100 charts!
Also Styx's Mr. Roboto is Japanese-like.
Also David Bowie's China Girl could easily be Japanese Girl.
And ever will.
And its own language. That's special.
I remember another one from the early ‘60s called Blue Light of Yokohama. Wasn’t that in Japanese and wasn’t it a pretty big hit?

This will always have a special place in my heart. I was 10 years old, and we were moving across Canada. For a child, what an adventure. This song played on the radio. My Mom loved it, and we did too. She's gone now, but hearing this brings that adventure all back like it was yesterday. I miss you, Mom.
This was also one of my moms favorite songs.
Lovely memory! I was a very young Canadian kid at the time it came out, and I went crazy whenever it was playing on the radio! Happier times for sure....!
I remember being 10 in 1964 and "Invisible Tears" was played a whole lot, and especially remember it playing so much on our car radio during a family car trip from Ottawa all through the Maritimes. I loved that tune and even to this day!!!!
🤗
I was a fresh teen in St. John’s Newfoundland (our family had emigrated there from South Wales, U.K.) when I first heard it in 1964… miss those carefree days…
As a teenager I was drawn to this song.
I couldn't understand the words, but I loved it.
Doing family history; I have found that I have Japanese ancestors .What a wonderful surprise. Could this be why I was so haunted by the song?

@Behzad Davoudi Yes I first heard it on the radio when I was about 8...or 9...about 1963....that was a magical year...the whole world lit up ....I'm lucky to have been a child then....
It's like a ghibli movie...
@@jarichards99utube I remember picking my friend up at jfk Airport. He just got back from Japan. That same 747 kya socomoto boarded after Jerry got off, was the one that lost it's vertical stabilizer killing this wonderful man . 1985
I was a Junior in high school when this came out. It seems that it was played on the AM radio stations every 30 minutes. I love this song today (72 years old) as much as when I was 17.
I love this song as well. I always have. I'm 70 years old.
Was 16 at the time, heard it on our local Rock & Roll radio stations in Dallas, Texas KLIF and KBOX - it was top 10 material. Found it at our local "Record Shop" in Casa Linda Plaza next to the Motts Five & Dime store. For any of you old Dallasites I am sure you remember it.
@@hughcapetien I remember it from my kid days too. They played it quite a bit on WLS radio in Chicago. Was always fun to hear. Funny how some songs bring back certain memories...cheers!
@@lindaharper8458 I also remember and love this song as well. I am 71 years old.

I was only 9 when this song first came out, and yet still remembered it well, especially when it was played at the Toyko Olympic games closing ceremony 2021. First Japan lyrics song I ever heard on the radio and still a classic!
When my grandfather & grandmother were young they love this song Sukiyaki, and 20 years ago, I began learn Japanese, this the first song I sang. Yesterday, I had cried while hear "ue o muite arukou namida ga kobore nai you ni"
Me too,i been watch last night the closing ceremony at the tokyo Olympic games 2020 and they played this song of Sukuyaki song by Kyu Sakamoto.
And i take a look here in youtube channel ..and finally i found it.
Makes me feel sad to watch this video that now he's gone now..
I never heard this song when i was young due to lack of tecnology here in my home town..Now i'm age of 65..it's makes me sad to watch it even though i didn't understand the lyrics.
And he is good looking Japanese man.
I'm sure,if he is still aroung in Japan..
Probably he is an old man now..
Sure i am one of his millions fans in this world.R.I.P Kyu Sakamoto..
We never forget you! ❤❤🙏
I was moved to tears when that song was played at the Tokyo Olympics. I do believe that was Kyu Sakamoto's voice over the modern music. That was awesome!!!
I felt the same way! Many years ago I taught this song to Grade 6 for their graduation ceremony as they had studied Japanese that year and I was their music teacher!
I was delighted to hear the song again at the closing ceremony and I am sure those students would have known it!
My son (29) and me heard the song at the ceremony to. We both love this song for years now.
This song was a big hit in US. Even though we didn't understand a word of it. One of my all time favorites to this day.
One of the best things about music is that you can feel what the singer is feeling without lyrics.
Sukiyaki was the only foreign language song to reach number ONE on the billboard top 100. They're is another version done by his daughter to bring it back with a new sound, but also used the orignal in her version. It did not come off very well at all.
@@jlpartainandassociates4719 Sorry Dominique was Number 1 several weeks @ least in New York maybe more places.
This song has deep memory from my childhood in the 60's. I don't know the title or words, but can hum along.
Absolutely love 💕 it!! Trying so hard to sing along😂
First heard the song as a teenager growing up in Mississauga, Canada in the 1970's. A masterpiece! After reading the English translation, it brought tears to my eyes.

English lyrics - 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
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
thankyou for that kind sir! Slim
When this song came out in America, it was presented as singer Kyu Sakamoto singing about some Soup. .
Actually this songs lyrics qualifies as beautiful anything from Frank Sinatra at the time..
Jason, thanks for the translation. Such a beautiful song. Calling it 'Sukiyaki' for distribution in America would be tantamount to calling Moon River, beef stew. (Read that somewhere, so true.) Great memory, such a loss of a wonderful talent. 😞
Best wishes!
Thank you for your translation. I remember this beautiful song in the early sixty's. That man looked so happy as he sang this wonderful song. R.I.P Mr Sakamoto
Many thanks

He was best known outside Japan for his international hit song "Ue o Muite Arukō" (also known as "Sukiyaki" in English-speaking markets), which was sung in Japanese and sold over 13 million copies. It reached number one in the United States Billboard Hot 100 in June 1963, making Sakamoto the first Asian recording artist to have a number-one song on the chart. He was also the first Japanese artist to have a number-one single on the Australian singles chart as well.

It was also one of only 13 or so songs sung entirely in a language other than English to be a hit in the US.
I remember this song back in 1963. So beautiful, everybody trying to sing it, though nobody understood A word of it!
This is one of the most beautiful pop songs ever written and performed. It is just awe inspiring.
Totally agree Jacqueline. I was nine and learned all the lyrics, but not their meaning. Adults did not like this as the memories of the War were still fresh. Thankfully the rebel DJ's on the Radio played it regularly.
same here
I was 14 the summer this came out and every time I hear it I still can picture the sunny skies and breezes at the town park swimming pool where this must have been played on the jukebox dozens of times everyday. They wore the record out along with Little Stevie Wonders Fingertips Part Two. I still feel 14 every time I hear it, such free and innocent times.
When I am down and just a little depressed this always makes me smile. Music is truly the international language. You don’t have to understand the words in this song. The singer acts it out as he sings. BEAUTIFUL!
May you rest in peace sir..
What happened?
Michael DeVoll The Russians shot down the commercial airliner he was on in 1985.
@@fek2000 I believe you are confusing Korean Airlines 007 with Japan Airlines 123.

As a child when this song came out I didn't have a clue what the song was about or what the lyrics meant, but I loved it. I am 71 now and still love this song and now know what the lyrics mean. Take away the lyrics no matter what language, pure emotion comes from the music and you can imagine any lyrics or emotion you feel at the time. But his voice really sets the tone to feel it. I hope you get my meaning.

My favorite lyric in this song is “I look at the sky so my tears don’t fall”.
The man can NOT stop smiling. Even when singing such depressing lyrics.
What is striking about the melody and voice tone is that sounds so joyful in spite of the lyrics of sadness and one of the most beautiful whistling tones I ever heard. Sakamoto's song is a happy memory when I was a kid in elementary school.
This is the Japanese spirit. Admit depressing reality, keep your face to the stars and put depression in the shadows.
Always walking forward, even when you cant stop crying. Shiawase is waiting above the sky.
Better than Prozac imho.
But he died tragically 1985 in a plane crash.
@@royaumeuni5730 Everyone dies. It's how you live that is the value of your life.
@@notguiltyindictme7stocking736 Well that's another story. This was about how to die and it's a big difference die in your bed as old and to die in a plane crash not so old.
Don't understand the words, but can feel his passion with each phase.
FR u can here the pain in his voice.
Hear*
Ue wo muite aruko means something like " I look up when I walk so the tears dont hit the ground"
I have the whole song and translation memorized. Kinda
Bobby Vee made a translated version of this song. It’s on you tube.
There's another video of this song that has English language subtitles on YT.....
I DO remember this. And I wasn't even born until 1965. Sukiyaki was often played on the easy listening programming radio stations throughout the 1970s. I haven't heard it in many years. Thank you for the upload!

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

He was aware that the plane was going down, rescuers found a farewell note to his wife in his jacket pocket. It was written either on the way in or he survived long enough to write it.
Aww. So Sad. His wife was a beautiful lady and also a talented singer.
That is so sad and, dare I say it, HAUNTING. Breaks ones heart. Never forget you brother!
What did the note say ? x2
Il never forget that day. I lived in Japan when the crash happened. What a sad day. :(
What can I say? He was a true human being. I miss him, though his beautiful song/ music and words are STILL with us - thank goodness!
I remember hearing this song as a very young child (born 1957). I've never forgotten it over the years as it is such a beautiful song. After reading the lyrics decades ago, I realized it was a song of sadness, but still, so very beautiful. It's a pleasure to listen to it again and again ...
