Biography
Kyu was born in Kawasaki, Kanagawa prefecture as the youngest among nine siblings (his given name Kyu (九 ;) means 'nine'). His parents, Hiroshi Sakamoto and Iku Sakamoto, both worked at a restaurant. In high school Kyu began to sing and became very popular. In 1958 he joined the Japanese pop-band "The Drifters" as a singer.

One of his best known and most beloved songs was "A****a ga Aru Sa" ("There's Always Tomorrow"). It was covered by the Japanese band Ulfuls in 2001.

Kyu worked very hard for old, young and handicapped people in Japan. "A****a Ga Aru Sa" was the leading theme of the 1964 Handicap Olympics in Tokyo.

In August 12, 1985, Kyu Sakamoto died in the crash of Japan Airlines Flight 123. Before the doomed aircraft hit the ground, he managed to write a farewell note to his wife Yukiko Kashiwagi. Married in 1971, they had two daughters, Hanako and Maiko.

Thanks for sharing. I haven't listened to his music in a while, and I kind of needed this right now.
Baby, don't let it slip, it's a once in a lifetime ship and it's never gonna come again...
