Is this a great voice or what..


I always liked this song--a classic form 1963.
He had no more No 1 hits because of four guys with Moe Howard haircuts from Liverpool England !!!

Want to know more?

We all know Kyu Sakamoto (for our Belgium friends Erwin & Diane Claes now living in Japan: 坂本 九 ,Sakamoto Kyū?, born Hisashi Oshima (大島九 ,Ōshima Hisashi?), December 10, 1941 - August 12, 1985) was a Japanese singer and actor.
If I remember well Kuy was a dj and recorded this song as a kinda joke. He died in the 80's in a plane crash.

Like you BoumBoum I also always liked this song.
Thanks for reminding us !

The lyrics:
Ue wo muite
arukou.
Namidaga koborenai youni
Omoidasu, haru no hi
Hitoribocchino yoru.

Ue wo muite
arukou.
Nijinda hoshi wo kazoete
Omoidasu, natsu no hi,
hitoribocchino yoru.

Shiawase wa kumo no ue ni,
Shiawase wa sora no ue ni.

Ue wo muite arukou.
Namidaga koborenai youni
naki nagara,
aruku, hitoribocchino yoru.

Omoidasu, aki no hi,
hitoribocchino yoru.

Kanashimi wa hoshi no kageni,
Kanashima wa tsuki no kageni.

Ue wo muite arukou.
Namidaka kobore naiyouni,
Naki nagara, aruku,
hitoribocchino yoru.

Hitoribocchino yoru

translation;
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
