You're right about the title. I was inspired to check further and found the Japanese title is "Ue O Muite Aruko", which means "I look up when I walk." But like you say Sukiyaki was a more used/popular word in America.
The artist died in a 1985 Japanese plane crash at only 43 years old.
For those who may not recognize the tune by title...for your listening pleasure as you read this. Damn, I surely must have time on my hands. I guarantee you'll be whistling the tune in no time.
