In Anglophone countries, the song is best known under the alternative
title "Sukiyaki",
the name of a Japanese hot-pot dish with cooked beef.
The word sukiyaki does not appear in the song's lyrics,
nor does it have any connection to them; 
it was used only because it was short, catchy, recognizably Japanese,
and more familiar to English speakers.
A Newsweek columnist compared this re-titling to issuing "Moon River"
in Japan under the title "Beef Stew"

This song was famous also by Kyu Sakamoto’s whistling

The English-language lyrics of the version recorded by « A Taste Of Honey »
in 1980 are not a translation of the original Japanese lyrics,
but instead a completely different set of lyrics
arranged to the same basic melody.
__________________________________________________________

It was four or five years now that I didn’t sing and record the songs.
I was sung and recorded one in 2022 and one recently in April 2024
and  this one today. The voice is not quite there…
I need to rework my voice.

When I was a little, I often hummed this song…
I sing in English, it doesn't sound the same as in Japanese.
But I try not to damage the song too much. The melody is very pretty.
I’ll try my best for the next time to sing in Japanese.

Guess What, The Colonial Clans Never Left - Masters Of Adaption // 12-12 Mix

[I accidentally removed the track. Sorry about that - those who have already listened can just move on].
Unfortunately, the connection has dropped, and we cannot be sure what is happening in the apartment where, at such a late hour, the light is still on. Probably nothing; they’re likely watching a film or reading a book. They might be projecting their reactions outward, and what we see could therefore be nothing more than the reflection of someone else’s nightmares — or dreams. Certainly, we have now reached a turning point: nothing can any longer be regarded as real, or the opposite... (all talk!).

This is the fifth in a series of eight easy, acoustic, rather short, and deliberately inconclusive tracks, assembled by combining new ideas with reworked older material, adding parts and sounds along the way.

Composed by Michele Ansani (2023-2025). This time I simply redid a piece I had posted in the spring of last year, slightly changing the atmosphere: https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani/overlays
All the ambient noises and female vocals are taken from public sound archives.

Did you ever fear the blank page ? i often do !

Shut up and play !

When doubt suddenly grips me
a blank page
not a single note
my head falters
and then everything freezes

When suddenly the desire eludes me
I can't find the words for my chords
there's no point in lying to myself

Then comes
despair
I can't even move my fingers anymore
I'm really just doing anything
but sometimes I still hear a little voice
that near me
whispers softly
Shut up and play!

When giving it all up is tempting
yes, it's silly
I agree
but I can't help it when it haunts me

Tais Toi Et Joue ! (Translated)

This is the last renovation of several songs I wrote some years back and recorded with Roger Stankovic (https://soundcloud.com/roger-stankovic), who did the lead vocals. Started as a basic piano and vocals track, but I took it down and added some new elements. Very happy with Roger's amazing work on this! Harmonies, moi, and Jen DB.
