- A Taste of Honey live on Solid Gold during the 80-81 Season. Unfortunately, no SOLID GOLD DANCERS, but one of my favorite performances of one of the world's most recorded songs.

I was a CSAR Helicopter with the USN homebased at NAS Atsugi fm '67-'69. I was in love with a girl fm Fukuoka. I returned fm VN in 10/69 & shipped home. I never saw her again. This song is about my lost love!!
Aw this touched my heart
Lovely just lovely
How is Life going for you now
Thank you for your service brother. Doesn't go away does it... I was sixteen when this song debut in '81 and I met a girl in the roller skating rink that swept me away... didn't last long 'cause she fell for my friend... LOVE 🦨 STINKS.🇺🇸🫡✌️
What a talented group they were. They sang, wrote and played instruments. On top of that they were classy and beautiful. A winning combo! You'd be hard pressed to find that today.
"Shonen Knife"- the All-Girl Band from Osaka, Japan still play sweet, innocent beautiful Songs (38th Anniversary 2018!)🐼💕💕💕💕💕

This has been one of my favorite songs ever. I rode my bike and hummed the song in the early 60s, I couldn't understand the Japanese lyrics but the song still moved me. I was so happy A Taste of Honey added lyrics I could understand. Hauntingly beautiful song.
the song is hauntingly beautiful and they look so elegant performing it..
I miss those beautiful times when music was so passionate.

Also when the performers had talent, were beautiful (these gals) and presented themselves with grace and elegance...
Perfection, in this beautiful English version .
AMAZING! Janice is heavenly beautiful, and so is hazel . 100% talent!!!!

Love this song!!! Always brings tears to my eyes, when I think of who I've lost in the game of love.
Oh stop, hun. I'm 59 and lately been thinking of all THE GOOD ONES I let go. One passed away (rx OD). Found another darling on Facebook, missed her by a few months... and she haunts me literally.
Once when I found her (too late) and then again 3 yrs later wrote an article she is in and both times a clock ran for 3 hrs & 20 mins, then stopped. (Do Ghosts Follow Us? by Dan W. Miller)
Luckily, I connected again recently with another and even though she's married, we're having fun remembering.
These 3... ah... my favorites. My ex-wife of 10 yrs doesn't even make the Top 10. BWAHAHAHAHA!
I remember watching this as a kid. Love this

Beautiful and soulful performance, as a little boy in Thailand I heard the Kyu Sakamoto japanese version. Then again as a teenager in Detroit by A Taste of Honey. Both great. Nirandorn Neville
I know how you feel I have been through the same

One in a billion....
Very, very, underrated song...
I can't just play it once...
Love the video 😍.....
What a performance...I have been looking for this for years.. At last.

I remember watching this broadcast on television (I always watched Solid Gold's year-end countdown). Had me thinking Janice-Marie was part Asian and Hazel Payne was the greatest multi-instrumentalist of all time. Then on June 1, 2020(!) I learn Hazel didn't even appear on the original recording. WTF, man...
One of the greatest jams ever. SO GLAD J-M stuck to her guns; neither her producer (George Duke) nor her label head wanted to make/release this song, and among the concessions she made to include it on the album was to waive songwriting credit (these lyrics are hers). Awesome, awesome song.

I remember being 13 and watching this on tele in NZ 1981. Such memories of youth, promise and innocence. I thought this was the prettiest song Id ever heard and I stil do.
When I close my eyes as I listen to this, I envision butterflies dancing and fluttering their wings to the music! ENCHANTING!
brings memories of my husband. Such a beautiful version. Taste of Honey - so talented.
A masterpiece that is so simple and yet so beautiful!
she is so beautiful
Yeah Janice was and is a gorgeous woman...and a talented one. It's a little odd not seeing her with her bass guitar here.

I love the koto. It’s is such a beautiful instrument
I always had a connection to this song and remember seeing this performance. Thru research I discovered that it was the number 1 song on the charts June 1963 when I was born.
back when music was worth listening to,and tv was worth watching!!!!!!!!
jdubbjazzbass YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!!!
+M. Jones when you get done talking, todays music is nothing but shit!! there are no good songs!!.i feel( sorry )for people like you,that like that shit!! i'm also a musician,(obviously)you are not!! and as a musician i hear music much differently than you do!! all you can do is listen to it,because you can't play it!! and if you like this crap that's playing on the radio today then you don't know what real music is!! ,and you have(poor)taste.oh....and when you learn to play.........then you can(elaborate),unitil.... then keep listen to that crap!!!!!!
Loved this song when it came out and still love it today. Also love these gorgeous women paying beautiful homage to Japanese music.
Domo Ariegato for posting this video. It is so beautiful and I applaud Taste Of Honey for going the extra step to "wearing a Kimono, her gentle fan expressions and the other singer learning how to play that complexed instrument. It was just so beautiful. This is surely a lesson of "East Meets West".
Timeless classic. I remember seeing this on tv here in NZ back in 81 when I was a teenager. Memories from the last innocent era in music before the depressing grunge of Nirvana and the gangster rap of the 90s.
Beautiful beautiful song. Wonderful arrangement and great singing. Thank you a Taste of Honey.
Ten years ago, I hung out at a karaoke bar and one us regulars was this girl of Japanese-American descent. One night she was called to sing and she came out in a kimono and sang it in Japanese while doing a traditional dance. Everyone in the bar stopped talking and watched and then gave her a standing ovation when she was through and for the rest of the night she didn't pay for one drink. Sad thing was, I was the next singer and nobody gave a damn, LOL.
Just outstanding. The best version ever. THANK YOU
SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SOUL SEARING RENDITION P.S. ( WHILE PLAYING THIS< THE SWEET SOUNDS PROVIDED A BACK GROUND TO FURTHER MY INSPIRATION TO WRITE ANOTHER MOST DIFFICULT SONG AS A TESTAMENT TO MY JUST PASSED OLDER< ONLY BROTHER< BARRY< A ONE TIME MENTOR< ALWAYS AVAILABLE ADVISOR/SUPPORTER< & ONE TIME FELLOW JUNIOR HIGH ORCHESTRA MEMBER(VIOLA FOR HIM< VIOLIN FOR ME)>R.I.P.
this was my mothers fav song ever. she still was in love with my dad and vice versa although they oved on with thier own lives. well my mom passed away 2008 and made us promise to play thi at her funeral for my dad but we couldent find it n i just did. so yes im crying my eyes out. so glad i found this!
every-time-i-watch-or-hear-this-version-my-eyes-water-and-my-heart-breaks. can't take-no-more...nothing can be more beautiful. today is annual Sakura Matsuri Parade Day in DC. so pretty, so divine...memories. hurts so good...sayonara...
This is such a beautiful song…every time I hear it, it reminds me of the one person I loved and lost.
I was 18 just left home out on my own this song brings back memories for sure. So many love ones are gone now I wish I could go back in time and spend time with them. Sad

Wow, loved this song as a kid. Still do, Taste of Honey musicians, singers, Janice Johnson, and Hazel Payne so inspirational. Thanks for posting this, classic.
Janice and Hazel were seriously great musicians. Too bad they never got their due.

I so remember watching this when it was first broadcast on a late Saturday afternoon which was when Solid Gold was aired in New York.

Another classic I remember it and I can still sing it too it's great!
This song is absolutely beautiful and the words in the song has lots of meaning. A taste of honey did a magnificant job in singing this song.
Beautiful Song thanks for making available to all of us
❤ I love this song, but every time you listen to it rips your heart apart!😢😢😢
This song stands the test of time.
IT` GREAT.
I stalked solid gold waiting to to see these beautiful woman perform Sukiyaki! I was 16 years old.
They hit #3 pop in Billboard, 6-13-81. God bless you, Charmed, for postin' it. Thanx! Have a blessed week! RIP, Kyu Sakamoto ( original singer of the Japanese version).
Man! She had that audience in the palm of her hand! This was when you had true talented performers who could perform with their clothes on and didn't rely on how much T&A they were showing...Beautiful girl, beautiful voice, beautiful song!!!!!!!!!!!
Very nice !!!
Great song!
I was sixteen when this song debut in '81. My cousin introduced me to her neighbor and we hit it off instantly however TWO weeks later I took her to my neighborhood and she fell for my next door neighbor..🎵🎶.LOVE 🦨 STINKS 🎵🎶🎵J. Giles Band 1982 RIP Peter Wolf.
Janice is amazing and Hazel does so well with that instrument''''
The real deal Ladies and Gentlemen! One of my favourites from way back which made me listen to traditional Koto players too. Is it possible to give infinity plus one stars? If so...
s
The wonderful song does make my spirit up always. God bless Japan.
WOW! Beautiful.
Where are the beautiful songs like this that made us feel love, tenderness and joy? This is real talent and class
ah music and shows like this help shape me as a singer and musician...proud to be a product of old school
Great Song, great performance.
Thanks, I'd forgotten about this gem.
How lovely, reading that made me cry. She was a lucky woman to be loved like that.
You're right, it's hauntingly beautiful. I have loved this song since the 8th grade for that same reason.
Glad you liked it!
Awesome her voice .👏👏👏
Just adore her voice. She is a taste of honey. Sweet, elegant and lovely.
I remember this song from when I was 12. I always loved her voice, so pure. I think that was why I really enjoyed Klymaxx when they came along several years later.
I remember this performance like it was just yesterday! Thank you so much for posting this!
OMGGGG I am shooketh! This whole performance, vocals and koto harp!!!!! OMG (leveled up from the lyrics tho)
This song bring tears to my eyes. The woman I love with all my heart left me. Her name is Xochitl, if you read this this, please know that I will always love you!!!
Thank you! Here I am enjoying it again!!
Wonderful video. Thanks for sharing.
of all the selections youtube this is best performance of sukiyaki by tast of honey; best tempo and expression.
Every Day My Mobile wakes me up with this song.... Great!
man the voice of an angel,you just take it all in.
I love hearing this song brings back fond memories
Gorgeous! Simply gorgeous!
She kicks ass on that Koto.
"Ue wo muite arukou"
Sakamoto Kyu...and the 518 others killed in the crash of Japan Air Lines Flight 123. - RIP
Back in the day they play this at roller skating. It is now 2021 and I'm finding out who actually is singing it. One of my favorite groups
I love this version of this beautiful song. No one other thean the original singer songwriter, could sing this song or gdo it with any justice!But Taste Of Honey have done so so perfectly!!!!!!!!! Such beautiful Voice and music!!!!!!! Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
I enjoyed it as a child in the 60's and was glad to put it on my free channel
Man that was an amazing post!!! I can't give it enough thumbs up...I took down my guitar to try to play along with harpist but she just blew me away and gave it up and said "You Go Girl"
Absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for posting one of my favorites from these two classy ladies. A true joy to watch : )
What class, what beauty. This is heaven. How do you find words to describe the stink bomb that was dropped on black music!
SALUDOSNDESDE SANTIAGONDE CHILE

MUCHAS BENDICIONES PARA UDES 🙏🖐🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
tracy brown. that touched my soul. wow! dont even know how i got here but i'm glad i did. beautiful. ty tracy brown
Beautiful ladies,beautiful song.
I loved this song SO MUCH when I was about 15 - wore out that little 45 record, I just couldn't possibly listen to it/sing along enough times!! I wasn't allowed to watch Solid Gold, so to see this clip now is just "over the top" for me!! :)
Oh, what can I say..this is so beautiful! Sakamoto was good but this is so much better! Even to think they also recorded my all time favorite dance song: Boogie Oogie Oogie! What a performance!!
omg! this video brings back so many memories. one of the greatest songs ever, beautifully done.
BEAUTIFUL!!!!🙂😭
i thought both sang this song. i had no idea she could play that instrument.
Janice said in a 2010 interview that she also plays the koto. Hazel didn't play the koto on the original recording, but played or mimed playing to koto in live performances.

entered Billboard March 7, 1981 ..reached #3 originally a #1 hit for
Kyu Sakamoto in April, 1963, the first and only Japanese artist to reach
#1 in Billboard
Colin Sanders
I have the 45 vinyl of both, I love the song.
Awesome Vid; Thanks for posting
wow very good! A taste of honey is historocal good singers! And i'm asian and a taste of honey's sukiyaki is very good song !
@mistermisterxx Yes June Kuramoto was the talent playing the kyoto on the album. Hazel is playing the "air kyoto" in this video, but if you scroll down a member of AToH band clarified that Hazel did study with June and, by this performance could actually play the song perfectly.
