Editorial Reviews

Product Description

To this date, Sukiyaki remains the biggest international hit by a Japanese popular singer. It is the only song by a Japanese artist to reach number 1 in the UK by Jimmy Jones in 1960. One of the highlights has to be Sakamotosan's Japanese recording of 'If You're Happy And You Know It' which offers tow and a half minutes of pure kitsch, and an improvement on the original! 20 tracks. EMI. 2005.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for a singer who is a legend, January 3, 2007
By Joanne A. Vega "Bad Mama" (Staten Island, New York USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This CD give some of Mr Sakamoto's best songs. For those who love 50's and 60's music I would recommend this CD. Of course it's better if you understand Japanese, but not necessary.

1.0 out of 5 stars CAVEAT EMPTOR! BUYERS BEWARE!, October 3, 2005
By D. Tucker "Jukebox" (McKinney, TX USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The release of this CD appears to be an opportunity for cashing in on the unique and lasting popularity of Kyu's huge UK & US hit "Sukiyaki". His memory and talent do not deserve such an obvious rush to cash in on his lasting popularity. British mobile phone customers can download his hit to their phones, thus this rush out the door of this poor compilation of his long and popular work. Thirteen of the twenty songs on this compilation are in MONO! Though there are a few gems on this CD (albeit in MONO), if you're only looking for a good quality "stereo" rendition of "Sukiyaki", I suggest "Hard to Find 45's on CD, Vol. 7: 60's Classics". The producers of this series have done their homework and deliver exceptional quality recordings. EMI Music is a Capitol Music label and should have taken their time to produce a higher quality product. BEWARE!

An outstanding collection of the man that brought us Sukiyaki, one of the top songs of the 60's.

3.0 out of 5 stars Question
I don't know if we're supposed to do this, but I have questions. I'm more interested in the styles of the songs. How do the rest compare to "Sukiyaki"? Read more
