ha, i was lookin' for this one
thank you for upload & share

Slick Rick's La di da di... Nice sample.

Like I say,for such a sad song,it sounds so upbeat!!
Vanessa Carlton's"A Thousand Miles"is the same way!!
It's a song about a woman who recently broke up with
her boyfriend,yet the music sounds so upbeat!!
Zale's Jewelers uses the Piano Riff from'A Thousand Miles'in their commercials!!
Who Knows??

Brings me way back to happy days growing up in The Bronx

Was a great tune when it first came out and it still is.

you know i can tell why this got unto the united states top music charts hahaha its awesome

For such a sad sounding song,it's surprisingly upbeat sounding!!

Very beautiful indeed!

The song is about sadness and isolation in a post WW2 Japan. The Japanese lyrics and the English translation are below:

Ue o muite arukoo------------I look up when I walk
Namida ga kobore nai yoo ni----So the tears won't fall
Omoidasu haru no hi---------Remembering those happy spring days
Hitoribotchi no yoru----------But tonight I'm all alone
Ue o muite arukoo------------I look up when I walk
Nijinda hoshi o kazoete------Counting the stars with tearful eyes
Omoidasu natsu no hi--------Remembering those happy summer days
Hitoribotchi no yoru----------But tonight I'm all alone
Shiawase wa kumo no ue ni-Happiness lies beyond the clouds
Shiawase wa sora no ue ni--Happiness lies above the sky
Ue o muite arukoo------------I look up when I walk
Namida ga kobore nai yoo ni-So the tears won't fall
Nakinagara aruku-------------Though my heart is filled with sorrow
Hitoribotchi no yoru-----------For tonight I'm all alone
(whistling)----------------------(whistling)
Omoidasu aki no hi------------Remembering those happy autumn days
Hitoribotchi no yoru----------- But tonight I'm all alone
Kanashimi wa hoshi no kage ni-Sadness hides in the shadow of the stars
Kanashimi wa tsuki no kage ni--Sadness lurks in the shadow of the moon
Ue o muite arukoo--------------I look up when I walk
Namida ga kobore nai yoo ni--So the tears won't fall
Nakinagara aruku---------------Though my heart is filled with sorrow
Hitoribotchi no yoru-------------For tonight I'm all alone
Hitoribotchi no yoru-------------For tonight I'm all alone
(whistling)------------------------(whistling)

Ue wo muite arukuo
Namida ga kogorenai youni
Omoidasu haru no hi
hitori bocchi no yoru

Ue wo muite arukou
Nijin da hoshi wo kazuete
Omoidasu natsu no hi
Hitori bocchi no yoru

Shiawase wa kumo no ue ni
Shiawase wa sora no ue ni

Ue wo muite arukou
Namida ga koborenai youni
Nakinagara aruku
Hotori bocchi no yoru

(kuchibue)

Omoidasu aki no hi
Hitori bocchi no yoru

Kanashimi was hoshi no kageni
Kanashimi wa tsuki no kageni

Ue wo muite arukou
Namida ga kogorenai youni
Nakinada ga aruku
Hitori bocchi no yoru

Hitori bocchi no yoru
