If you want to experience something pretty humbling learn this song and whenever you are near Japanese people sing it - you will have every one of them singing with you and all will love you forever.

Consider just how insulting it was for the western releases to be called "sukiyaki" - even though, perhaps, i'd have never heard it had it not been so named.

Here's a translation
I look up when I walk so the tears won't fall 
Remembering those happy spring days 
But tonight I'm all alone 

I look up when I walk, counting the stars with tearful eyes 
Remembering those happy summer days 
But tonight I'm all alone 

Happiness lies beyond the clouds 
Happiness lies above the sky 

I look up when I walk so the tears won't fall 
Though my heart is filled with sorrow 
For tonight I'm all alone 

(whistling) 
Remembering those happy autumn days 
But tonight I'm all alone 

Sadness hides in the shadow of the stars 
Sadness lurks in the shadow of the moon 

I look up when I walk so the tears won't fall 
Though my heart is filled with sorrow 
For tonight I'm all alone
