Happy End is an old acoustic band in Japan in the 1970's. Each former member became a big musician or big producer and so on. They work at the center of Japan music currently. People say that Happy End is a legendary band that all members are too talented to get together again right now. Members are Haruomi Hosono, Eiichi Ohtaki, Takashi Matsumoto and Sigeru Suzuki. Melancholic and political music like flower children flooded here and there when Happy End appeared. Their music was light, and had dry humor. Some people felt they were a new band, but Happy End weren't in mainstream because of their stance of staying at the cutting edge.
Keiichi Suzuki (鈴木慶一 SUZUKI Keiichi) joined Happy End as a member of backing band. He provides his music to Takeshi Kitano's movie. The other big musicians were related to Happy End. Sometimes talented people interact each other at a very narrow point. Happy End was such a place.
