I think Japanese is the best language for singing

Recorded 1961 hit America shores (via UK) in 1963 then became #1 US Billboard 100 and #1 US Contemporary Billboard. They couldn't pronounce Ue o Muite Arukō, so the first thing came to mind was a Japanese hot pot dish called Sukiyaki. From old clips Kyu Sakamoto was a fun and funny guy, gone too soon at 43 when his plane crashed killing over 520 people including 6 from America.

Thank you! 🙏🏼

Piano too loud

Our only true (unchanging) constant (truth) is the life (son) of our subconscious (father) whose way is unconditional (Holy); this mind is forever apart from the true (everlasting) variable (perception); the father of lies, whose idolatry comes by the slavery of the knowledge of good and evil by lacking the true (strong) man (constant) I.e. the unchanging/constant progenitor/father of life/love (imagination/wisdom/courage/love/reasoning/understanding/faith: our first love, the subconscious/father truth/son) Who is Jesus Christ

Duality of life. The joy and sorrows of life 😢

thank you very much

おおきに, that carried me so hard🙏

Wow! Thank you so much for this Tom S from me here in Sydney Australia in June 2024. I love this song and its many variations and interpretations. This is shuch a valuable talk for me because i want to sing it publically. You are a Japanese treasure!

I recommend playing the song in the first 3 minutes, at least a little to give the video a flavor of things to come.

this song seems to be sad and melancoly...thanks for sharing

I heard the reason why it’s named Sukiyaki is because North Americans did not what to name the song and just randomly called it Sukiyaki, a Japanese dish.

Have tried to learn the japanese lerics from watching Kyu Sakamoto yt with lyrics. Almost have it memorized.

Thank you

How u got that thing in that room

Kyu's song comforted my heart during the 60s - I need some comforting now - thank you that I can learn the words to sing it now - bless you!

You are a very sweet teacher, i learned this song by ear thanks to a cover from one ok rock but now i understand it better

Something I notice a lot is that she(Hikaru Utada) is actually pronouncing R as L in multiple places. Listen closely to "imagoro" as well as the first "darou". Another strong example of this is when she sings "Wasuretakunai" in the second verse. It very strongly sounds like "Wasuletakunai". however in "kaori", "irun" as well as the entire line of "Dare wo omotterun darou" she pronounce it more like you would expect (an R/D hybrid) She is Japanese/American and speaks English very well so differentiating between L and R should not be a problem for her. So are these stylistic choices? I've heard lots of other Japanese vocalists do this. Or there any other reason why the Japanese R is so inconsistent? Mostly I heard women do this so I thought perhaps it something like it sounds cuter or more feminine or something. But I have heard men do this as well so that can't be it.

Por favor mande tablatura de hibari misora kawa nogare no you ni. 🇧🇷🇯🇵 no ukulele

🇧🇷🇯🇵

Sou Brasileira 🇧🇷 toco ukulele Amo Kyu Sakamoto 🇯🇵... Sukiyaki

Enjoyed the teaching, but the background music was very distracting and doesn’t match the lesson, especially for this song. Just constructive criticism, not meant to offend.

Awwww, when you go over the lyrics in the beginning the background music is distracting me. 🙁

Thank you so much. You really helped me out a lot.😊 I always sang this song but had trouble with a few words. You truly clarified them in this video.

I love your voice…

I have many interests but before anything else I’m a huge music nerd. I explored music in Spanish and it rekindled my love for the language. So much so that I started practicing singing in Spanish which has helped me retain and improve my pronunciation. Now I find my self learning Japanese and I credit this song to why I fell in awe with the language. Such an informative and well explained video. It’d be fun to see if you can do “Last Summer Whisper” by Anri.

Could you put the words up when you sing

perfect!

I've always liked this song, remember back there what it is about. This is especially good for me to learn since I have a friend who lives in Japan, speaks (and sings) good English. I'm fond of her as a male, and would like to learn it. This is great instructions for a cowboy dude who lives in Oklahama USA. Thanx much for this information, ^ and subscribed

Muchas gracias. ❤

I was in 8th grade when this song was a huge hit. Everybody sang it, both the girls and boys. You say it is an old song but not to me as it still sings in my head today at age 74.

Super fantastic coaching session on signing Sukiyak!

take out the annoying music when you talk or lower the volume to the extra minimum

THIS HELPED TYYY

Kyu Sakamoto RIP, a great guy and a great singer 🇯🇵🗾🇯🇵

He sang it in Japanese his own native language and also the Americans love it. He was actually an actor, singer, a family man, and also humanitarian. He died in a plane crash near Tokyo in the 1980s.
