TITLE: I 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
