Another Story: "SUKIYAKI" - Behind Japan's No. 1 US Hit (NHK World - Japan)
Broadcast on February 11, 2023
via NHK:
Sakamoto Kyu's famous song "Ue wo Muite Arukō" a big hit in the U.S. despite being sung in Japanese, reached No. 1 in the U.S. in 1963. Why was this song the only one that made it to the top in the U.S.? There was the drama of Japanese Americans in a small town in California who were encouraged by this song! How did this song change the destiny of Sakamoto Kyu and his own tumultuous life, and how did he meet A Taste of Honey, who covered "SUKIYAKI" and made it a big hit?

after a job interview and a quick pre-game run to the liquor store, i slipped and slurred my way into Tastes of Fall-O-Ween; an event where a $35 entrance fee can grant you five free specialty servings of food and drinks. interesting enough, each food serving was priced $7 so you really are paying for five meals but a chance to experience Knott's in a unique way. the vibes were good and so were...

warning: raw footage without constant snarky commentary or decent and clever editing. you've been warned... bwahaha! knott's scary farm: hands down, best one in the recent years i've attended.
