Walk looking up Sakamoto Kyu — with lyrics

The melody, filled with hope and positivity, truly resonates in the heart.

Known as the signature song of the famed Kyu Sakamoto, it was released in 1961.

It became a worldwide hit, even achieving the remarkable feat of reaching No.

1 on the Billboard chart.

The lyrics express a strong determination to keep looking forward, even while holding back tears, and every listen gives me courage.

As the seasons shift from spring to summer to autumn to winter, it reminds us that happiness can always be found somewhere.

It’s a song that people of all ages, from children to adults, can’t help but hum along to.

Ashita Ga Arusa

Kyu Sakamoto’s “Ashita ga Aru Sa” (There’s Always Tomorrow) is a classic that humorously captures the feelings of a young man in his youth who fears heartbreak and failure.

Its melody, which offers courage and hope to keep looking forward, is sure to lift your spirits.

Since its release in 1963, it has remained beloved by a wide audience, and even in the 2000s it drew attention as a commercial jingle, the entrance march for high school baseball, and a song included in school textbooks.

This song, which teaches the importance of continuing to believe that “there’s always tomorrow” even in times of hardship or sorrow, is a cheering anthem we hope you’ll listen to again now.

Look up at the stars in the night (Kyu Sakamoto)

This is one of Kyu Sakamoto’s signature songs; he was active not only as a singer but also as an actor and host.

The piece was created as the theme song for a musical of the same name, and its gentle atmosphere—quietly savoring happiness—leaves a strong impression.

Sakamoto’s voice, combining tenderness and strength, envelops our hearts.

When singing it, cherish a softly conversational feel, and immerse yourself in its world while savoring the moving mood.

Goodbye, TearsSakamoto Kyu4rank/position

Namida-Kun Sayonara

It’s a purely Japanese song with lyrics and music by Mr.

Kuranosuke Hamaguchi, but it didn’t sell very well when it was first released.

It was reimported, and in September 1965 Johnny Tillotson released an English version titled “Goodbye Mr.

Tears” along with the Japanese version, which became a big hit.

Since then, many artists have covered it, and it’s a song I want to listen to when I’m quietly sad or frustrated.
