Jesse
Sukiyake is such a cool tune (and I have no idea what the words mean).
I used to hear it playing from an old Japanese store when I was a kid in Haleiwa and it left a strong memory. Your rendition reminded me of those days gone by.
Nice job on the song. |

| Jesse, excellent job! We learned that song when my father got stationed in Japan in 1956-1957, although only one of my brothers still remembers the lyrics and knows the English translation as well (easy for him as he's fluent in Japanese). I believe the song is about someone who is sad and reflects back on happier days... |

The melody of "Ue o Muite" (Sukiyaki) hooked me the first time I heard it as a kid. Although it is a classic pop song, there is something very Japanese about the melody. Thanks to the internet, I can listen to, and watch, Kyu Sakamoto sing the song over and over and find a dozen lyric sites with translation. I am probably mangling the language, but I understand the song's intent.
Glad you enjoyed it.

Jesse - both are very well played and sung. You have something special, though, that comes through to touch a person's heart. That is what makes you so special. I am waiting for a professional Jesse Tinsley Hits Vol. I. If you really hurry, I can still get it in time to go in Paul's stocking!
If you oddah guyz are thinking, geez already she always says nice stuff about Jesse's music,, well, OK. I do. It is wonderful. And lucky we are that he shares it with us.
Ue o Muite is not only a beautiful tune, but the lyricw, when translated to English are beautiful as well. I wish I understood Japanese so I could understand the impact of the lyrics in the proper language.
Thank you Jesse. |
Me ke aloha
