Wow. This cover is seriously underrated. Its one of my favorite songs she’s done, and makes me tear up every time I hear it. I hold this band so near to my heart. Such an inspiration.
You should check out early stuff. Other than the Tejano fans from back in the day, many if her fans have never heard pre-Grammy stuff. She had a lot of a of good music even when she was still a teen. :)
No, Selena’s Versión is a remake of Taste of Honey - Sukiyaki. Now, Taste of Honey sampled the original sound of Kyu - Sukiyaki but changed the words and the beat. And Kyu Sukiyaki song was influenced by black American rock n roll anyway.
Is it wrong for me to stop watching her performances mid-way. Its bc this woman had so much talent and a wonderful spirit, its so sad she died at the hands of a senseless act. I get sad bc I get a little emotional thinking how far she would have gone. Same with Aaliyah
Selena was only 17 or 18 when she made this video, and to me she looked very much like she did just before she died! Her hair and makeup was similar to when she was older, but on all the other video's that Ive seen when she was this young, she didn't look at all like she did just before she died! This was like a glimpse into the future of how beautiful she would become!
This song came out for the first time when I was just a little girl. How wonderful to hear Selena sing it! She was so talented and innovative. She just seemed to know instinctively what people wanted to hear and what touched their hearts. This song really touches mine. Thank you Selena.
This beautiful song is called China Nights (Shina No Yoru) its Japenese - It became popular in the States in the 50's/60's by a famous Japanese singer, Kyu Sakamoto, he died in a plane crash at the height of his fame. The song was renamed Sukiyaki which has nothing to do with the song but it was a common word most Americans were familiar with. Salena did a wonderful spanish version here - Its the story of a women singing love songs in the rain while a young man observes her .
Sukiyaki Japanese title is "Ue o muite aruko", roughly translated is "I Walk Looking Up (so the tears won't fall), performed by Kyu Sakamoto, written by Hachidai Nakamura and Rokusuke Ei . However, the English version was written by Janice Marie Johnson lead singer and bass player of the band A Taste Of Honey. Sadly, she had to give up all writing credit to the original writers in order to get the song published and recorded. This version is translated into Spanish from Ms Johnson's English
It's been a long time since I've thought about Johnny Canales. My grandparents used to watch it whenever we visited. This brings back many memories: my grandparents, Selena, and Sukiyaki.
This makes me fuzzy inside, it’s a sad song, I love it so much. I’m Japanese and Mexican, and love both this version and the original Japanese version too
Otro Aniversario de tu partida. Porque tan pronto!?😞 Tal vez ahorita ya estuviera retirada de los escenarios ,en pocos años nos dio mucha alegria con su musica y dejo para las nuevas generaciones,❤️

@@redheadedhomegirl Except that's not entirely the history of the song. This song is a cover of "Sukiyaki" by A Taste of Honey, itself a cover "Ue wo muite arukou" (上を向いて歩こう) by Kyu Sakamoto (坂本 九). "Shina no yoru" (シナの夜) is indeed a Sakamoto song but a completely different one.
Ty for posting this video. My daughter is very much into Selena's music.. No we are not spanish. and I cant understand a single word, But I cant understand this song in japanese either.... This song is so beautiful in whatever language it is in........ THank you for posting it. and Thank you to Selena for making it sound amazing... :)
@Judyi YOU gOT THAT RIGHT GIRL! SHE DIDN'T EVEN GOT SINGING lESSONS AND SHE DOES IT SO WELL!!!!! aND aLSO ELLA ERA MUY QUERIDA.SHE COULD DO ANY KIND OF SONG THATS FANTASTIC! .. .... x 100PRE "SELENA'.
I knew this song from early 90s entitled its all because of you from a boy band covered. Then i heard her version it sounds almost identical. I love it
HOW COOL IS THIS! Man, I'll NEVER forget when this cassette came out; I'D HEAR IT EVERY DAY! SUCH A LOVELY SONG AND SUCH BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES OF MY YOUTH, OF OUR BEAUTIFUL TEJANO QUEEN: WE STILL LOVE YOU & MISS YOU, SELENA!! woohoooo check out Suzette in the b.g. U go girl!
this song is great!!!! who ever doesnt like whoooo careeess I guess nobody . i love all her songs. ciao ciao. Unique selena thats how we all should be get that unique ok see ya!!
I wish someone would try to cap on Selena, they don't know what they're getting into with us Selena fans. Her and her music is the epitome of a people who's soul is in love with the beauty of and the Spanish language itself and from who's heart a red river of love and compassion flows.
Thank you 4 puttin this up. I love this song and selena. I cant belive yolanda shot her, this singer was a legendary sing. *sings along w/ tears* we love you selena
As a Latino in Japan this makes me feel things. My grandmother loved this song and now I can put two and two together!

❤️❤️😍😘😘
@@NodDisciple1 hot and humid lol
@@Yugvijay xoxo
@@gabrielbernal2660 im indian btw ❤️ xoxo so cute and sweet u r and i love this song
She was 17 or 18 when this was aired.. wow... what a voice. RIP Selena.
We still miss her..♥️♥️may She Rest In Peace
This song is actually completely genius. I love the fusion of Japanese & Mexican.
Man i couldnt agree more ... Its damn genius ... The way that drum snare comes in at 0.45 sec mark just makes it so badass
Rest in peace Kyu Sakamoto and Selena.
agreed 100%
They are a duet in Heaven!!
In my opinion the best version.
1000% better than the ugly version by Sukiyaki
Wow. This cover is seriously underrated. Its one of my favorite songs she’s done, and makes me tear up every time I hear it. I hold this band so near to my heart. Such an inspiration.
Agree! So underrated and just so moving...probably my favorite.
I had absolutely no idea that selena covered sukiyaki!! Omg!! ^.^
same here
I didn't know it neither!!! Until now
You should check out early stuff. Other than the Tejano fans from back in the day, many if her fans have never heard pre-Grammy stuff. She had a lot of a of good music even when she was still a teen. :)
Yess her dad brought the idea
i never heard the Japanese version but wow Selena did amazing!!! hr voiceeee wow
its a remake of taste of honey version---she does an amazing job--i like her version way better :)
@@mariannecavazos actually it a remake of a old japanese song
@@sadcat8847 a taste of honey sings it look ut up
@@mariannecavazos but if you do more searching you will find that it is a song from a man name kyu sakamoto...so maybe you should "look it up" 😂😑

Horribly sad what happened to Selena and Aaliyah makes me wanna cry forever smh
i cry allllll the time listening to selena - i’m a spanish teacher and were watching the series now in class, my kids love her music
I wonder what Chris thinks about when he hears this song
The day the world cried is the day we lost a beautiful heart to the ages...we love Selena...
nice, she put a lot of affection in singing this song.. RIP
great! sukiyaki in spanish version... sing by Selena, one of my favourite latina singer...
R.I.P Selena...
Even though this is a Spanish translation of an inaccurate English translation of the song, it’s still very beautiful. What a lovely voice.
Selena a legend. one of my favorite songs. la reyna de tejano
Parece que ella sabia que ahora esa letra le va perfecto a todas las personas que la admiramos y la extrañamos,
GRAN SENTIMIENTO EN ESTA CANCION
English...Spanish...Japanese...any one can spark the fire
and portuguese... Trio Esperança
this made me cry. i had no idea how beautiful her voice was.
so glad she performed this live
