Hi-Fi Set -- Shiawase ni Naru tame(幸せになるため)


The thumbnail photo is from my Musashi-Kosugi-residing friends' condo. It's a nice sunset shot and an appropriate one for this song.


"Shiawase ni Naru tame" (To Be Happy) was vocal group Hi-Fi Set's(ハイ・ファイ・セット)6th single from June 1976. Written by Yumi Arai(荒井由実), composed by Kunihiko Murai(村井邦彦)and arranged by Masataka Matsutoya(松任谷正隆), this reassuring country-type ballad (thank you, harmonica) is about the trip home at dusk and despite the hardships, things will be OK. Maybe loved ones are apart due to circumstances but they will be back together again. I would say that the song would even be fine for all of us under our current circumstances.

Right now, Ontario hasn't had a great week in terms of COVID-19 but the Premier had warned us some time ago that there were going to be darker days ahead. But by the same token, I'm hoping that there will be some brighter ones coming up, too.
