Mmm, what a bummer! Anita's version won't play for me directly from the player! I can only listen to the preview from the external link (xiami.com)!
I found a interesting story on this song:

Now it's the big task (for you: Benny) to find a the cover versions, hahaha, just kidding! Basically there are 2 "original" versions:
* Kyu Sakamoto - "Ue o muite arukō";
* A Taste Of Honey - "Sukiyaki" (many other covers were using this English cover as their original: the name Sukiyaki has nothing to do with Japanese original & it has "Sayonara" at the end)!
It's good to mention/include Selena's version here:

Teresa Carpio was too busy with her prenounciation of Cantonese! So the song was not very pleasant to listen to! I like her later/more mature works!
Dick Lee's version (cover?) is most creative. But it's almost a complete new track! If he didn't put the parts of the original in it, I wouldn't recognize it as Ue o muite arukō/Sukiyaki!
I don't like Blue Diamond's cover! It's too well polished! Too smooth!
So for me Anita Mui's version is the best as a cover (in this case the cover of Sukiyaki: "sayonara" at the end)! And I like the Jap & Eng originals! Selena's Spanish version is nice! Dick Lee's version is most creative!
坂本九的原版 topped the Billboard Hot 100 in 1963, and was the only Japanese song ever did so. 兩個中文版來講, 我想杜麗莎的版是比阿梅的版流行. 阿梅的版唱得好soft, 尾尾還有一句sayonara, 同 A Taste of Honey 的版本是一樣的, 大概是跟那個版改.
我個人其實幾鍾意Dick Lee那個的版, 雖然I am not sure if it should be called a cover song, maybe more like song with heavy sampling from Sukiyaki. The whole rap part is new composition, he just used the same chorus. Dick Lee is really a very talented musician.
英文版來說, A Taste of Honey is too "sweet" for me, perhaps, not my taste. Blue Diamonds' version is close to the original. I especially like that whistle part.
這首歌其實還有很多其他的版本. Here are some of them:
Kenny Ball and his Jazzmen - Sukiyaki (possibly the first cover version)
