March 21, 201113 yr Author comment_165137 Yea in the english version the lyrics were totally made up. still a sweet song though. I think the phrases " I look up when I walk so the tears don't fall " have a lot of meaning right now in these times for Japan.

October 31, 201212 yr comment_190321 When I read the thread topic, the first thing that came to mind was "I thought you are talking about food, beef sukiyaki". By the way, that's a sweet and sentimental song. I like the Japanese version because of its originality in the first place. Are they dedicated to single individuals out there?
