Sukiyaki
In Japanãä¸ãåãã¦æ©ããã( oo e oh moo ee tay aru ko ) ...which literally means “ let’s walk looking upward “ ...
You beat me to it. “Sukiyaki” by Kyu Sakamoto was number one on the American charts for weeks back about 1963. The entire song was in Japanese. American people loved it, even though we could not understand one word of it. BTW, why is the song named after Japanese food?
