    Served in Okinawa, 3 years, early 80's. I love the Japanese people. I learned to speak Japanese. When I heard this song and understood it, I learned to sing it. I would go to pubs with my Japanese friends and they wanted me to sing this song on Karaoke. I'm blonde and blue eyes, and the crowd got crazy. One night they had me sing that song 3 times in a row. I sure miss my Okinawin friends. 😢

    I look up when I walk
    So that the tears won't fall
    Remembering those spring days
    But I am all alone tonight
    I look up when I walk
    Counting the stars with tearful eyes
    Remembering those summer days
    But I am all alone tonight
    Happiness lies beyond the clouds
    Happiness lies above the sky
    I look up when I walk
    So that the tears won't fall
    Though the tears well up as I walk
    For tonight I am all alone
    (Whistling)
    Remembering those autumn days
    But I am all alone tonight
    Sadness lies in the shadow of the stars
    Sadness lurks in the shadow of the moon
    I look up as I walk
    So that the tears won't fall
    Though the tears well up as I walk
    For tonight I am all alone

    It hit the top of the charts in 1963. Thats right. Its one of two songs sung 100% in a foreign language that made it to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US!
    That should let you know this song touched a lot of nerves in 1963. It certainly hit mine at age 11 hearing it on the radio. Still does in 2023.

    I could never remember when I heard this song played and about what year, so all my life I've hummed it's melody, but no one, not even a DJ, could tell me what it's title was.
    I was listening to UA-cam songs from my past, and when I got to listen to snippets of 1963, I shrieked when I heard the melody I have hummed all my life.
    Seems I was just 15 when I heard it played a lot on my little transistor radio.
    I'm now 75, and no one was ever able to help me, seeing I didn't know what year it was out.
    thank you, Jesus! I have to do some research now, on a tiny miracle that has been a sad thing all my life....Thank you for uploading this song.

      I look up as I walk
      So that the tears won't fall
      Remembering those spring days
      And tonight, I am all alone
      I look up as I walk
      Counting the stars with tearful eyes
      Remembering those summer days
      And tonight, I am all alone
      Happiness lies beyond the clouds
      Happiness lies beyond the sky
      I look up as I walk
      So that the tears won't fall
      But the tears well up as walk
      For tonight, I am all alone

    He was so boyish and had such a sweet smile. Also beautiful straight teeth for those days. I live in Hawaii and in the early 60s there was a lot of Japanese music as we also had several Japanese radio stations. So to me this was no big deal and thought the name Sukiyaki was stupid because it has nothing to do with the food. I didn't realize at that time that this song went global and what it contributed to the Japanese-Americans that lived on the mainland. There's a Japanese documentary about this song and how it also affected Japan. They showed survivors of the great earthquake and tsunami singing this song and crying. Very touching.

    The original title (he wrote the song himself, I think) is "Ue O Muite Arukou" ("I Look Up When I Walk"). The singer has to look up as he walks, so his tears won't hit the ground.
