12/14 I'm trying to remember the title and artist of a couple of Japanese
songs that became hits in the US. I vaguely remember one was in
the 80s and another was even earlier. Anybody know? Supposedly
the two (I think it was two) songs were the only japanese songs that
was popular in the US. Thanks.
\_ Shonen Knife? Cibo Matto (not really 80's, not sure tho) -mice
\_Pizzacato Five.
\_ Pizzicato Five. But they weren't really popular in
the 80's.
\_ Sukiyaki? "do do re mi do la so". Although the Japanese lyrics
had nothing to do with food. -- yuen
\_ YES! that is it. I got the MP3. Sukiyaki by Kyu Sakamoto.
A song entirely in Japanese that became #1 in June 15, 1963.
Thank you. Getting answers to obscure questions on the motd is
the main reason why I keep coming back to the soda community. :) |
