Today(August 12, 2022) is the 37th anniversary after the death of Kyu Sakamoto. I found on RU-vid his last voice and singing before his tragic death on the same day. The public recording of NHK-FM radio ''Song Special - Kyu Sakamoto'' occurred in the afternoon August 12. 1985. Kyu-san was the host and main singer of the show. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-liJBA8DEQmA.html The same ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WHzZcC8RpBs.html Too tragically and sadly, Kyu-san died in a terrible airplane crash only a few hours later from the radio show. Thank You! Thank You!! Kyu-san!!! for your beautiful songs and your countless gentle, brilliant smiles!!!!! R.I.P
"Ue o Muite Arukō" (pronounced phonetically [ɯe o mɯite aɾɯkoꜜː]) was written by lyricist Rokusuke Ei and composer Hachidai Nakamura. The lyrics tell the story of a man who looks up and whistles while he is walking so that his tears will not fall, with the verses describing his memories and feelings. Ei wrote the lyrics while walking home from participating in the 1960 Anpo protests against the U.S.-Japan Security Treaty, expressing his frustration and dejection at the failed efforts to stop the treaty. However, the lyrics were purposefully generic so that they might refer to any lost love

@@karl-heinzheinbach8447 I know the lyrics of the song by heart. It just doesn't sound like Japanese at all (I'm a Japanese teacher) . I thought it might be Okinawan. But I honestly don't know. If it's just a style, wow, I can't even begin to understand.
