うえをむいてあるこう "I shall walk looking
up") - A Japanese song that was performed by
Japanese crooner Kyu Sakamoto, and written by Rokusuke Ei
and Hachidai Nakamura. It is best known under its
alternative title "Sukiyaki" in English-speaking parts of
the world. The song reached the top of the sales charts in
the United States in 1963, and was the only Japanese
language song to do so. In total it sold over 13 million

The lyrics start as follows:
上を向いて歩こう ue o muite arukō (I shall walk looking up)
涙がこぼれないように namida ga kobore nai yō ni (so my tears won't
fall)
思い出す春の日 omoidasu haru no hi (remembering spring days)
