Contents • • • • • • • • • • • • History [ ] Career [ ] In October 1969, Haruomi Hosono and Takashi Matsumoto formed a group named Blue Valentine ( ヴァレンタイン・ブルー) right after their previous band Apryl Fool disbanded. In March 1970, Hosono, Matsumoto and Shigeru Suzuki contributed to Kenji Endo's album Niyago. The group changed their name to Happy End and were the backing band for, performing on his album Miru Mae ni Tobe ( 見るまえに跳べ). The band began recording their own album in April 1970.

Their self-titled (written in Japanese as はっぴいえんど) was released in August on the experimental record label URC (Underground Record Club). This album marked an important turning point in Japanese music history, as it sparked what would be known as the 'Japanese-language Rock Controversy' (, Nihongo Rokku Ronsō). There were highly publicized debates held between prominent figures in the industry, most notably the members of Happy End and, regarding whether Japanese rock music sung entirely in Japanese was sustainable (previously, almost all popular rock music in Japan was sung in English). The success of Happy End's debut album and their second, released a year later, proved the sustainability of Japanese-language rock in Japan. For their third album, also titled (this time written in the ), they signed with and recorded in 1972 in with producing. Although Hosono later described the work with Parks as 'productive,' the album sessions were tenuous, and the members of Happy End were disenchanted with their vision of America they had anticipated.

A language barrier along with opposition between the Los Angeles studio personnel and Happy End was also apparent, which further frustrated the group. These feelings were conveyed in the closing track 'Sayonara America, Sayonara Nippon' ( さよならアメリカ　さよならニッポン, 'Goodbye America, Goodbye Japan'), which received some contributions from Parks and guitarist. As Matsumoto explained: 'We had already given up on Japan, and with [that song], we were saying bye-bye to America too—we weren't going to belong to any place.' While the band officially disbanded on December 31, 1972, the album was released in February 1973.

They had their last concert on September 21, 1973 titled City -Last Time Around, with a live album of the show released as Live Happy End the following year. Post-activities [ ] After breaking up, all four members continued to work together and contribute to each other's solo albums and projects. Hosono and Suzuki formed Tin Pan Alley with, before Hosono started the pioneering electronic music act and Suzuki continued work as a guitarist and solo musician.

Matsumoto became one of the most successful lyricists in the country and Ohtaki worked as a songwriter and solo artist, releasing one of Japan's best-selling and most critically acclaimed albums, in 1981. Happy End reunited for a one-off performance at the International Youth Anniversary All Together Now ( 国際青年年記念 ALL TOGETHER NOW) concert on June 15, 1985, which was released as the live album The Happy End later that same year. An album called Happy End Parade ~Tribute to Happy End~ and composed of covers of their songs by different artists was released in 2002.

Hosono was involved in selecting the contributors and in Kicell's cover of 'Shin Shin Shin', Matsumoto determined the cover art and title, and Suzuki participated in 's cover of 'Hana Ichi Monme'. In 2003, their song 'Kaze wo Atsumete' appeared in the American movie and on. Eiichi Ohtaki died on December 30, 2013 from a at the age of 65.
