j posted this after hearing the english version. i moved to japan and lived there for a number of years from1993-2012. married a japanese woman i met there. from the time i first heard it and loved it in 1963, i thought it was a happy song. i asked my japanese girl friend to translate as it played....not a very happy song after all.
Matty this really upset ME! WHY would they set up orchestra and all that beautiful music not toet Bobby do this? I dearly love Kyo's version itz HIS song forever but Bobby's would have been so beautiful and I still think its out there in a vault probably......shame on those whose did this. They did many artists like that. I've heard many stories about that song. One...its NOT a love song and had nothing to DO with love so how is it anything that beautiful could be related to anything else? Anybody???
Technically it was finished. There's no continuation. It's from bobby vee's 30 big hits of the 60's, it has many short songs about a minute long, and a couple 2 minute songs; it transitions into 'sealed with a kiss' at the end of what you hear here. Anyone on a treasure hunt for the rest of the track, it doesn't exist, sorry.
Lovely version by the ever popular man. Very saddened to hear of his passing. What a lovely man he was. Condolences to his family at this sad time. Thank you for the music Bobby Rest in peace brave man.
Merci pour ce partage Il ne me semble pas connaître cette chanson Merveilleuse découverte J'aime beaucoup la voix de ce chanteur americain RIP Bobby Vee
Always a fan of this song in original Japanese, Sukiyaki .This English version by Bobby Vee is just as good too bad it was not recorded in full version.Would like to hear this song resurrected by a English singing artist.Can we ever hear a voice as superb as Bobby Vee ever again?
Marita, maybe not, Bobby V one of a kind heroic hetero, epic really. Maybe to good, it might have over shadowed the original if allowed to have bridge and outro. Blessings Victor😔
Now we all know how Bobby sang. How pro he was. If he sang THIS much of this song, you'd better BELIEVE SOMEBODY KNOWS WHERE IT IS!!! THISis beautiful and Bobby would NOT have just done this and STOPPED! NO WAY!!!! BULL!!!!! SOMEBODY come forward . Which record is is it? I WANT it. I have just about all of Bobby's music but this has to be a flip side of a 45.
I have been a big Bobby Vee fan since his first hit! I saw him in person once in Oklahoma City. I’ve got every hit record he ever made. He died in old age up in the cold country north. He died of Alzheimer’s disease I’m pretty sure. Loved his music!!
@@victornice858 ah hah, someone thinking like me. Although Kyu's version was SO SO beautiful it made me cry. There IS a $$ reason probably could be. Rights? 🤔
We were so fortunate to have so many artists named "Bobby" in the pop music world during the sixties: Bobby Vee, Bobby Vinton, Bobby Rydell, Bobby Darin, Bobby Curtola, Bobby Goldsborough, and so on.
I heard this song when I was a teenager. And I like it. Now in my 60' for reason it came to mind. I spent most anhour looking it and finally found it!! Bring back memories ❤
Bobby Vee - Sukiyaki I'll hold up my head up high Looking to the sky So they won't see all the tears that are in my eyes No one will know, I'm going through My first lonely night without you So I'll go on alone Pretending you're not gone But I can't hide all the moments of love we knew Memories of you As I go through My first lonely night without you

It's funny...........I heard the Japanese version my whole life and never understood the words. Despite that, I always knew that it was a sad song. Years ago, when I first heard the English translation, I wasn't at all surprised by the lyrics...........that sad lament was always present in the song........sometimes, a song translates with just the emotion. I always loved this summer hit from 1963. Whenever I hear Kyu's version, I am back there again! Bobby's version is nice as well.
Interestingly enough it brings back memories from long ago & I realise that the words had nothing to do with how the melody made me feel at the time I had been given my walking orders from someone I was very much in love with & even now 57 years later the original song has a sad effect
--------- MY FIRST LONELY NIGHT WITHOUT YOU ------ I'll hold my head up high looking to the sky.

I never knew he did this song it sounds great I don't know why in the 80s they changed the words to it. But outside of the original version this is my favorite Bobby Vee was a great singer rip Bobby v e e
bisindie 54, Thank you for uploading this. It's most unusual that Bobby would record just 'part' of a song. I'm sure the whole song was recorded. We just have to find it. I'll see what I can do. Also, these English lyrics are actually the closest/truest to the original lyrics in Japanese. Thanks again.
+likecrazy daddy : This is from "30 Big Hits Of The 60s" , it is a 1964 album by Bobby Vee. It features 30 hits by other artists segues into five medleys. You can find this medley (Sukiyaki in it) on YT by the title "Bobby Vee 30 Big Hits Of The 60's medley 6" :-)

Michael Elsy you'd betterBELIEVE the rest of that record is out there. Bobby Vee would NEVER have done that. Please lets find it. Is Mercury Records still available? Bobby recorded cor them. I don't know why I said Mercury records , Bobby's records were Liberty SORRRRY!!!!
@@lindacaylor3289 Does anyone know where in the Liberty (or even the Mercury or Capitol) Records Catalogs the full version exists? It sounds as if the music continues at the very end of the short version. It's too beautiful not to have a complete recording.

Bobby had some great hits like rubber ball, punish her, take good care of my baby, he does a nice job of sukiyaki too, some songs just sound better done in another language and sukiyaki is best in Japanese by the then young Kyu Sakamoto those fabulous sixties just come right back when I hear it
Too bad this isn't the full length version by Bobby Vee. I have this on a cassette tape but my tape player is broken and haven't been able to affordably repair it. Also haven't found a CD that matches the tape:(
I'm not a fan of early 60s teen idol music, but nonetheless, this is a beautifully sung and accurate English translation of the Japanese hit. 🇯🇵 Don't know if Vee recorded it in full & or if that take still exists, but he does have a listenable voice. 😯❓❓ Vee's style is more pop than rock n' roll. There are so many varying renditions of Sukiyaki, but I am interested in any English versions recorded in 1963 or thereafter. Also, it was popular in French, German, Norwegian, and Swedish, and has been sung in those languages. 🙋 Merry Christmas to one and all!! 🎅🎅🎄🎄🇬🇧🇺🇸
A very good full recording of this lyric, by Jewel Akens, is here: ua-cam.com/video/1Oh5rSJW7DI/v-deo.html.

I think it's a beautiful poem.
Michael, He was Kyu Sakamoto. Sadly, Kyu died in 1985 at the age of 43 - (520 people including him were killed in the deadliest single-aircraft accident in history).
@@JavierHardeman199X But "A Taste of Honey's" Version [Spring 1981] was ALSO in English. Just not the original translation, HOWEVER, the Sad Theme WAS the Same-even more so in keeping with the "sad" lamenting the Loss of a Love leaving & going away and the singer being Sad & Blue because of it. This was even MORE so than the Original by Kyu, which left a more Spring -time Upbeat feeling especially with his famous whistle that sounded like Beautiful Birds in Spring-time. The 1981 version It is also accompanied with an Authentic Japanese Instrument. I was the Highest Chart Ranking Version since Kyu's Own 1963 Version. Even # 1 on the R&B & #3 All Around.

Daahling! What original do you mean? Every nation claims its own since 1963! But let's agree that it is one of the most beautiful lovesongs ever written!💞💋🌺🍀
Especially when you can find a version with English subtitles so you can understand the Japanese lyrics. Even without the English translation, Sakamoto's sadness comes across in any language.
My son was born in Japan. I use to sit in my rocking chair and sing him to sleep. I sang it in Japanese, because that was the way I learned it.
I love this comment.
คิดถึงลูกชายเหมือนกันครับ🎤🎸
I was in Japan first years of my life. I turn 60 this year. I grew up hearing this song, and singing it.
