Kyu Sakamoto (Pop, or at least that's what my iPod belives)
This song did debut in America but the name was changed to Sukiyaki (a type of yummy food) because the real name was too long. I don't really like this version because it's too happy and the original recording of the song fits the lyrics better. The song is about him looking up while walking because he doesn't want the tears to fall from his eyes, this song was written after he was dumped by an actress who was his love.
"上を向いて歩こう" (Ue o mui te aruko) which basically translates as "I Look Up While Walking"
