“Bill, if I may, I’d like to try something different this time.”
Ue o Muite Arukou or its title in English, Sukiyaki, was part of the soundtrack to From Up on Poppy Hill. The song really doesn’t have anything to do with sukiyaki does it?
Anyway, watch the movie or listen to the song, and feel the melancholy.
An aside, the tune was the basis for an American hit in the 80s. A song whose lyrics form the basis of one of rap’s greatest hits, La Di Da Di.
It’s all because of you.
I’m feeling sad and blue.
You went away
And now my life is filled with rainy days.
I love you so
How much you’ll never know
‘Cause you took your love away from me
