Ue wo Muite Arukou-Sakamoto Kyu Monogatari/Walking while Looking Up - The Kyu Sakamoto Story (上を向いて歩こう-坂本九物語), is a biography based on the Japanese singer Kyu Sakamoto´s life. The movie was first broadcast on TV Tokyo August 21, 2005 as a commemoration of the 20th anniversary of Sakamoto's death.
The movie follows Kyu's life from being 3 years old to a teenager and finally a family father. The plot focuses on many well known things about his life such as the background of the popular song Sukiyaki (Ue wo muite arukou) and his tragic death in the JAL flight 123 plane crash in 1985. It also brings up some things that aren't as well known such as surviving a car accident, how he met his wife Yukiko Kasiwagi as well as his time in the Japanese band Paradise King.
