Aaand I´m back. Sorry to all my fans out there for the long absence, I hope it didn´t break their hearts [how I love to kid myself xP].
Re-starting with a cute Japanese song, with rather sad lyrics, despite its easy-going tone and whistle.
Little bit of trivia: the song reached number one in the United States Billboard Hot 100 in June 1963. Up to this date, Mr. Sakamoto is the first and only Asian singer to have a number one song on the Billboard Hot 100. It was also the first ever Japanese language song to enter the UK charts.
Here you can find the English translation of the lyrics.
