I guess you had no room on your list for "KYU SAKAMOTO". I remember his song in 1963. I tried to sing the words but couldn't do it. I have enough trouble speaking English. Why did I ever try singing a Japanese song that I had no clue to what it was about? On a serious side- He had a nice singing voice. I heard he died in a plane crash. Not sure if that is true or not.
