Happy Time Happy Song
Look and see
The blue earth continues to spin
And the stars are still shining
Come, young student
Stop worrying about the future for now
Surely a happy, happy time will come along
I am a street corner love fortune teller
Even today there’s thirty-something people lining up
My duty is to give you a nudge in the back for 3,000 yen
Telling you how surely a happy, happy time will come along
That’s right — believe in yourself
Your dream specifically is the real deal
So take the plunge and push ahead
Listen closely
Strain your ears, someone’s calling
Today it’s pa, pa, pa, pa, paa
Come, good sir
Just head back to your family for now
You’d better go back to the place you call home
That’s right — it’s as you thought
Life presents a huge pile of problems
But one day you’ll spread your wings
As you head for the bright blue skies
My apologies
I am actually only a small-time musician
And I sing of love, love, love
But either way
My duty is to give you a nudge in the back for 3,000 yen
With a happy, happy song for your good luck
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
So how about it?
Stop worrying for now and give it a go
Surely a happy, happy time will come along

星も輝いてますさあ学生さん

KAN’s Beatles world.

No one but KAN could’ve written such a peculiar melody.

I always listen to this song whenever I’m going through a tough time. Somehow it always gives me strength to keep going.

The first time I heard this song, I didn’t get the whole “But either way…” lyric. When I finally realized how the fortune teller and the musician both charge 3,000 yen (price of one fortune-telling/CD) to do their job of “giving you a nudge in the back,” I got the chills. KAN is exceptionally talented not just with melodies but with lyrics, too.

I love this song. When you consider how it’s advice coming from KAN (someone who believed in himself and became a great musician), that makes it all the more compelling. And he’s right: it’s a lovely thing to have a dream. It’s like the song gently gives you a push while saying, “Have confidence in yourself. Don’t even think about it for now. Just keep going.” I wish all young people could hear this song.
