HELP: Japanese song redone by Boys 2 Men
Grosporina
a few years back, by some male japanese singer. Someone told me it was called
Sukiyaki song, though I doubt that's right... anyways, it was just recently
redone by Boyz 2 Men(I think....), in english. If anyone can remember the
song title or original artists name, I'd be very greatful if you could let me
know.... or even better, if you know where I can get the original song on
LP, CD, or cassette.
A local radio station attributed the song to Ryuichi Sakamoto, but
once again, I'm not sure that's right, one person told me the guy who did the
song died in a big plane crash, and I'm pretty sure Ryuichi Sakamoto was
around to contribute to the soundtrack for Black Rain.
Anyways, any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks, yeah I goofed on those group names...., now the trick is
finding a recording of the original version, anybody got "The Cool World of
Ohta-san"?

The song is called "Sukiyaki" and it's done not by Boyz II Men, but a
group called 4 P.M. It was also covered 15 years ago by A Taste of Honey,
who were famous in the 70s for "Get...Down...Boogie Ooogie Oogie."
The organist at Dodger Satdium also plays this song when Hideo Nomo's
pitching in a game...

Original artist's name is Kyu Sakamoto.
