"Sukiyaki," originally titled "Ue o Muite Arukō" (上を向いて歩こう), is a song by Japanese singer Kyu Sakamoto, released in 1961. It became a worldwide hit, reaching #1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1963, making it the first and only Japanese-language song to achieve this feat. The song's English title, "Sukiyaki," was a marketing decision, chosen for its familiarity to English speakers, despite having no connection to the song's lyrics or meaning.
The Japanese title, "Ue o Muite Arukō," translates to "I Look Up as I Walk," and the lyrics express a sense of looking up to hide tears and reminiscing about a past spring.
