"Happy Life"

"Happy Life" is a song recorded by Japanese singers Mika Nakashima and Salyu. It was released as an exclusively digital single by Sony Music Associated Records on May 12, 2017.[1] It was co-written by Takeshi Kobayashi and Yuko Ando and composed, arranged and produced by Kobayashi.[2] The song was subsequently included as a B-side on the single "A or B".[3] "Happy Life" was used in Tokyo Metro's televised commercial campaign Find My Tokyo, starring actress Satomi Ishihara.[2]

Composition

Kobayashi wrote the song with an image in mind of a woman working in the urban area of Tokyo.[2] Salyu was invited to be a featured artist on the song because Kobayashi wanted the song to represent friendship among women; he thought having two unique voices rather than one would better symbolize this theme.[2] Yuko Ando also co-wrote the lyrics to "Happy Life", adding a third female creative voice to the mix.[2]

Critical reception

"Happy Life" was praised for the "peaceful quality" of the song.[4] CDJournal critics also praised the combination of Nakashima and Salyu's voices, describing it as a duet that leaves you "basking in the afterglow".[4]
