Yes, I like the songs. "It's Too Late" more than the other.
Carole King's in the photo on the cover for this album (http://i27.tinypic.com/2vwcp37.jpg); she and Alanis Morissette bear a striking resemblence to each other which I found interesting.

@sydtheskeptic: That's kind of what I was thinking, that for the year it would have been pretty unusual for a foreign-language song to be so popular in the US. Interesting biography and song history. I like this part of the entry:
'The original Japanese title was considered too difficult for American audiences to remember and pronounce, therefore a well-known word that people would associate with Japan was used - Sukiyaki, even though the word has nothing to do with the song. A Newsweek columnist noted that the re-titling was like issuing "Moon River" in Japan under the title "Beef Stew."' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyu_SakamotoSep 06, 2009 04:07 by kellydna. -
