Same person, one more comment: You can buy his 4 CD set, "BEST 99" on Amazon. Sukiyaki is on it plus many of his other hits. He was a superstar in Japan for a quarter of a century. He was also a super humanitarian. Orphanages, retirement homes, people with mental disabilities, the deaf...he worked hard for them all. His wife and daughters have followed in his footsteps with charity work.

His wife and two daughters maintain it and it has taken off like mad the past month or so, with the LIKES" growing quickly. There was recently an exhibition honoring him and the 50th anniversary of SUKIYAKI. It just closed, but there appears to be talk of taking it on the road. Fans are requesting that their cities be next. If you visit the page and hit the LIKE button, it will help reach the goal of 9999. He is at 4658 at the moment.
