Après l’aventure avortée du groupe psychédélique Apryl Fool qui a implosé après avoir produit un album et un EP pour Columbia Japan en 1969, le bassiste\/claviériste\/chanteur et principale force créatrice Haruomi Hosono et le batteur Takashi \"Rei\" Matsumoto ont formé Happy End avec le guitariste Shigeru Suzuki et le guitariste\/chanteur Eiichi Ohtaki.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLeur premier album éponyme, sorti en 1970 sur URC poursuit l’épopée psychédélique de Hosono tout en apportant davantage de structure “pop” et mettant fin au longs jams improvisés et déglingués d’Apryl Fool. Le groupe enregistrera une demi douzaine d’album et l’aventure prendra fin lorsque Hosono se concentrera davantage sur ses projets personnels avec notamment la création du désormais mythique groupe Yellow Magic Orchestra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHappy End is the self-titled 1970 debut album by Japanese folk rock pioneers Happy End, originally released on URC Records.

Formed by Haruomi Hosono and the similarly music-obsessed Eiichi Ohtaki in 1969, the group was rounded out by teen guitar phenom Shigeru Suzuki and poet-drummer Takashi Matsumoto, whose stylized lyrics provided the foundation for the concept of the ???Kazemachi,??? or ???Wind City,??? a rapidly modernizing city with nostalgia towards the simpler life of their youth. Happy End were heavily in demand as a backing band, providing a solid rock foundation for many of the artists on URC.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe success of Happy End???s debut album, as well as their following album Kazemachi Roman, proved the sustainability of Japanese-language rock in Japan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e : \u003cbr\u003e1.
