I can name that tune in 100 bars.... and this only has 99. What the heck is that???? Driving me crazy

Going to one of those links led me to this commentL

I was 18 and a sailor in Japan in 1964 when I heard this for the first time. My little Kyoko taught me the words. Now I'm an old man but the song is still young and fresh. Love the memories. Probably see ya soon Kyu...

It's all because of you, I'm feeling sad and blue.
You went away, and now my life is filled with rainy days.
I love you so, how much you'll never know,
Cause you took your love away from me

Seriously though, last time I was there we used his bigass face on a giant bilboard in Tokyo as a way of finding our way back to our hotel. He's the mascot of one of their biggest coffee brands (Boss Coffee, by Suntory.)

TLJ is to Suntory what Clooney is to Nestlé.
