ประวัติครับ จาก wikipedia
"Sukiyaki", known in Japan as "Ue o muite arukō" (上を向いて歩こう "let's walk while looking up") is a Japanese song that was performed by Japanese crooner Kyu Sakamoto (坂本九, Sakamoto Kyū), and written by Rokusuke Ei and Hachidai Nakamura. It is best known under its alternative title "Sukiyaki" in English-speaking parts of the world. The song reached the top of the sales charts in the United States in 1963, and was the only Japanese language song to do so.
The recording was originally released in Japan by Toshiba in 1961. In 1963, the British record label Pye Records released a cover version of the song by Kenny Ball and his Jazzmen. They were concerned that English-speaking audiences might find the original title too difficult to remember/pronounce, so they gave it the new title of "Sukiyaki'". This title was retained when Capitol Records in the United States, and His Master's Voice in the UK, released Kyu Sakamoto's original version a few months later.
The term sukiyaki had absolutely nothing to do with the lyrics or the meaning of the song; the word served the purpose only because it was short, catchy, recognizably Japanese, and more familiar to most English speakers (very few of whom could understand the Japanese lyrics anyway). A Newsweek columnist noted that the re-titling was like issuing "Moon River" in Japan under the title "Beef Stew."
On March 16th 1999, Japan Post issued a stamp commemorating this song. [1]
Kyu Sakamoto (pronounced "cue") was one of the 520 people who died in the crash of a Japan Airlines 747 near Tokyo on August 12, 1985. He was 43.
