| . Sukiyaki ~ What a Joke!
There's a famous song, Sukiyaki that hit number 1 in US in 1963. Its actual title is "Ue o Muite Arukō" which means "I Look Up As I Walk" is a Japanese-language song that was performed by Japanese crooner Kyu Sakamoto. If you look at the translation of the lyrics, it is basically a Sad Japanese Love Song. In English speaking countries, it is best known under the alternative title "Sukiyaki", a term with no relevance to the song's lyrics. (Sukiyaki is a Japanese dish of cooked beef.) Just imagine... it's just like taking a Sad American Love Song and naming it "Hamburger". 😂
On top of that, the Japanese Lyricist (Rokusuke Ei) wrote the lyrics while walking home from a Japanese student demonstration protesting against a continued US Army presence, expressing his frustration at the failed efforts... and this song reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 charts in the United States in 1963. 😂

| . Lyrics: Ue o Muite Arukou The title means "I look up when I walk." The English title was changed to Sukiyaki because it was easier for Americans to say and associate with Japan. The English version called Sukiyaki is not a literal translation of the song and it is not the translation provided below. (Sukiyaki is actually food and has nothing to do with the song.)
