  1. Was haben Bibliotheksmenschen und MacGyver gemein? Genau - sie sind äußerst kreativ, wenn es darum geht, anderen zu helfen!
    Heute wurde das Smartphone einer Jugendlichen aus den Tiefen eines Lüftungsgitters gerettet mit Besenstiel, Pfannenwender und *surprise* Panzertape. #HappyEnd

  2. Heute vor 475 Jahren - Um Mark Twain zu zitieren: "Die Nachricht über meinen Tod war stark übertrieben!" 😊 #happyend

  3. In Hollywood movies, it's a #HappyEnd when the villain or bad guy is killed / dies. Empathy for the bad guy in movies is unusual and not expected.
    So I just act like in US american movies...

  4. Ich habe im Januar 2010 einen #Travelbug in einem #Geocache platziert. Er hat ein paar Stationen gemacht und ist 2014 spurlos verschwunden (wie all meine anderen Travelbugs auch). Ich hatte das Thema gedanklich seit langer Zeit abgehakt, hat mir das #Geocaching insgesamt verleidet. Gestern tauchte er wieder auf - offenbar im Kinderzimmer der letzten Finder. Und heute haben sie ihn (in Oklahoma) wieder ausgesetzt - 11 Jahre später.

    Das ist so ein bisschen #HappyEnd und irgendwie freu ich mich.

  5. Katze Pepper ist nach über einem Jahr vermisst am Tegernsee endlich wieder zu Hause! 🐾❤️ Gefunden im Kellerschacht in Ostin, wurde sie mit ihren Jungen ins Tierheim gebracht und kehrt nun zurück zu ihrer Familie. Ein Happy End, das Herzen wärmt! 🏡✨ #PepperIstWiederDa #Tegernsee #HappyEnd #Katze #Tierliebe 🐱 #newz

  6. Eine Katze hat in NRW für Aufregung gesorgt! 🙀 Sie lugte unter einem fahrenden Auto hervor. Dank beherzter Retter konnte sie in Sicherheit gebracht werden. ❤️ Die ganze Geschichte gibt's hier: n-tv.de/regionales/nordrhein-w #Katzenrettung #NRW #Tierliebe #HappyEnd #newz

  7. Despite having heard Kaze Wo Atsumete in Lost in Translation, I somehow never got around to listening to Happy End's Kazemachi Roman.

    It's really fantastic, and finally available for streaming. (Good condition original pressings are super expensive; but it's been re-released a number of times in Japan.)

    Good supplementary reading:

  8. @1001otheralbums.com My first exposure to #HappyEnd's music was Kaze O Atsumete from #LostInTranslation's soundtrack record. Great sounding number fit that movie so well. Amazed to find out that the song hadn't been recorded for the movie, but was in fact pretty old!

  9. [This guest post was written by wbwolf about number 1030 on The List. The album was submitted by wbwolf and avi_miller.]

    At one point in time, there was a serious debate in Japanese music whether rock music should be sung in Japanese or English.

    1970 was a major inflection point. Rock had started get a wider audience in Japan, but it was through the Group Sounds fad that was starting to wind down by that point. Group Sounds was a way for production companies to use their staff writers, dress up the band in a matching outfits, but in the end, not that much different from other pop offerings. At least that was the feeling of musicians that looked to the American and European rock scenes.

    The argument was that rock did not fit the cadence of Japanese language, so it worked best in English. Several early albums by other artists were done entirely in English. However, the members of Happy End felt rock music could be sung in Japanese and still have the characteristics of the overseas bands they admired. Their first two albums, especially 風街ろまん (Kazemachi Roman) proved to be a turning point showing that it was indeed possible.

    The album itself is a concept album, collectively painting a portrait of Tokyo in the period of time from immediate postwar period to the rapid growth just before the 1964 Olympics. In an effort to clear the wreckage caused by war and modernized the city, much was lost in the process. This is lends the album a slightly wistful air, about innocence and youth lost now in the modern, Westernized metropolis; the Westernization is a double-edged sword.
