ARCHIVED HTML - Happy Times, Happy Life
Topaz - Sailor Mercury
Tone/Mood
Happy days sounds like a Christmas song mixed with the song "a tiskit a taskit" at first. Then POW! it get very upbeat and well happy. This song just feels you with happiness so an odd reason. The beat and tone just get right to you and cheers you right up. In the middle you have a long break and church bell which seems weird but fits well.Placement
This song was for the Wedding Dvd. I do not recall hearing in that act. It would have made a wonderful ending song.Memorable
I would say so. Once you hear it, it just sticks in your head. you find yourself just walking around and next thing you know you are saying "happy yeaaaaa"Lyrics
The lyric fit so-so. I take this song as the wedding song for Mamoru and Usagi.Ribbons and flowers and arches
Hehe this makes me think of the wedding.

Once again a super duper cute sounding song from Minako! I would give "Happy Days" a 4

The last song related to Pgsm. When I'm listening to it I think about the end of Pgsm. But it isn't! We still have act zero! I like the melody, only I don't like the Woo-thing. And the bells in the song.Placement
Not in the series, only in Special act on the background, when Usagi is watching TV and Minako gets an award in England.Memorable
Yes, I think it's memorable, because it's one of the last Pgsm songs. And the last song from Akaya Komatsu (too bad, because she can sing very well).Lyrics:
Ribons and flowers and archesYou can't escape going through
Because you began here everyday
your smiling face is enough
I want to see you, dont hold back
now is a blocked light shower
OH MY LOVE
HAPPY TIME Seconds of time throb
Don't talk, just hold me okay?
HAPPY TIME, HAPPY DAYS,
HAPPY LIFE
WOO, NEVER FORGET, LOVE AND HEART
They are about holding each other and loving each other etc. There okay, only a bit too much about arches and ribbons.
Overall rating:
I give it 4 hearts. Not 5 because of the woo's, bells and a bit because of the lyrics. But I still like the song. It's one of the better songs.
Alexander - Prince Endymion
Tone/Mood:
That's a wonderful song by Aino Minako! It was released before Christmas and it's really like a Christmas one. It introduces us to the holidays atmosphere. The bells make us remember a beautiful decorated tree and under it we see many presents. I remember Minako and the end of PGSM. Then we're back to the PGSM atmosphere. But we don't have to be sad - because even after Act, our favourite Live-Action show will be alive!! Alive in your hearts...Placement:
The song fits its placement in the Special Act. Usa and Mamo are happy together, and there isn't any other song that can picture the lovers' feelings. In fact, the song is played when Minako gets an award in England. That makes Usagi even happier, so here's "Happy Times, Happy Life"! ^_^Memorable:
Can anybody forgets Minako's (perhpas?) last song?! For me, the most memorable part is the begining. I know it's odd, but I cannot forget "Happy Times, Happy Days, Happy Life. Woooo, never forget love and heart."Lyrics:
Well, they aren't perfect, but good. I like them. They make me remember Usagi and Mamoru after their wedding:Ribons and flowers and arches
You can't escape going through

your smiling face is enough
I want to see you, dont hold back

I rate "Happy Times, Happy Life" with 4 hearts. It's a sweet and optimistic song, makes you think about your love.
Sailor Neptune - Ruth
Tone/Mood
Very upbeat and and catchy. Minako's last single in PGSM and I like it-in some areas. I didn't care for the bells in the beginning but other then that it's a good song.Placement
Only used in the Special Act in the beginning. It was used when Minako excepted an award. The song wasn't used anywhere else.Memorable
In PGSM-no. But since it's a Minako song, I think people will enjoy the upbeat song.Lyrics
HAPPY TIME seconds of time throb/Don't talk, just hold me/
HAPPY START let's feel this way forever/...
To me these lyrics are telling a story about someones' relationship. "seconds of time throb" to me means that with every second goes by her heart throbs. "Don't talk, just hold me" is just as it says. Like 'keep me safe and never let go' kind of feeling. The last part, "let's feel this way forever" signifies that she would like that moment to last forever and ever. Quite romantic. ^_^
Overall Rating
3 hearts. Very upbeat and romantic at the same time. I've heard better Minako songs but this is just an average song to me.
Frosted_Rain - Nephrite
Tone/Mood
HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY!!! The tone is quite retro-oriented of the 80's. It's so ALIVE!!!! Makes me forgot my problems. Another special song from a special artist.Placement
A special song should be placed on a special episode. This song was placed on PGSM Special Act on the early part. It's the background song where Minako-chan was shown on T.V. it was brief but it was worth it. A good starting song to kickstart the movie (FYI: Here We Go was the opening song on Special Act). I hope this song will be shown on Act Zero.Memorable
Happy times, happy days, happy life makes my world go round in a new perspective. Stuck on my head always for me to remember always.Lyrics

WAAAA, the last song of Ayaka-chan on the PGSM album?? no more??? I hope she has more albums to come. Love all her songs I've became biased on all her songs (I gave her songs all 5/5. Hehe). As usual, another 5/5 for my beloved Ayaka-chan. :-)
Lauren - Sailor Mars
Tone/Mood
This Song Sounds Like The Absolutely Perfect Wedding Song, Very Upbeat, and Sweet and Somewhat Catchy, Especially Because Of The Church Bells In The Background, And It Fits Perfectly With Her "Happy" Tone Of Voice.Placement
This Song Was For The "Soundtrack" Of The Special Act Wedding. Only used in the Special Act in the beginning, when Minako excepted an award. It would have made a wonderful ending song Too Though! ^_^ I would say so. Once you hear it, it just sticks in your head. Sometime After Listening To It You Probably Will Find Yourself Walking Around Singing It! ^.^Lyrics
The Lyrics Fit Fine, But I Take This Song As The Wedding Song For Mamoru and Usagi.Ribons and flowers and arches

I stretch out my hand in the dark
This arm is always
gazing ahead at the time

It's also okay to look at the sun

Elly - Princess Serenity
Tone/Mood
What a happy sounding song! This song has a really upbeat, Christmas-holiday feel to it. This song has nothing to do with the holiday season in America at all, or even with holidays much at all. This is a bonafide love song, people. It's about a wedding, not about Christmas. Why this song has been affiliated with Christmas is beyond me.Placement
This song was used on the Special Act DVD's soundtrack. This song is very well placed, since it is about the love between Usagi and Mamoru. This song was also released on the Moonlight Real Girls Box Set, although I don't really think that it denotes any sort of placement.Memorable
Memorable? This IS the Special Act's theme song. How you can be a true PGSM fan without having seen the Special Act (unless you're on dial-up, then you're okay!) is beyond me. This song really embodies the love between Usagi and Mamoru. Remember it people. For me, this song also has memories. This site is the first (and only!) to have the lyrics and translations for this song, and I spent a good amount of time translating it all. People were so excited to read the new lyrics and sing along to their new favorite song. I was happy too. I'm glad I could bring something so small and so valuable to so many people. Thank you for supporting this site, everyone!Lyrics
Having translated these lyrics myself, I think that more than anyone I understand them (well, I'd have to in order to translate them, right?). It amazes me that people still think this is "a holiday song" when the lyrics say NOTHING about Christmas, Channukah, etc. These songs are about a wedding people! Get with the program!Ribons and flowers and arches
You can't escape going through
Ribons and arches? Doesn't this remind you of the wedding scene at the end of the Special Act? It does to me - they were coming out from under an ARCH, and Usagi and the other girls' dresses were filled with ribons. Come on. Poor Mamoru. The song outright says he can't escape getting married, heh. The lyrics get slightly meaningless from here on:
HAPPY TIME Kiss me forever
It's also okay to look at the sun
HAPPY START This love feels good, doesn't it?
HAPPY TIME, HAPPY DAYS,
HAPPY LIFE
WOO
Like most other J-POP songs, when translated into English, they don't make much sense. This unfourtunately holds true even for this song. Oh well.
Overall Rating
I have to give this song a five. It is the Usagi+Mamoru song, afterall. The lyrics don't make much sense, but the overall message is still clear: Love is important. Don't give up when it gets hard. Heh, I wish I could remember that bit of advice, especially when I fight with Tim...it seems like the whole world is going to end.
Sailor Luna - Emo-chan
Tone/Mood
Very happy and quirky! It sounds like an 80's pop song that could have worked as a credit song for a video game. It sounds like a very happy and relieved song. And Topaz is right with the fact that it does sound Christmasy!Placement
HA. I didn't even hear this song until I downloaded it off of this site. I know its not in the series, and the other reviewers specified that it is in the special act. So I take their words for it.Memorable
I don't think it will be that memorible because it's only in the sepcial act and only played once in the whole act. So most people will not be familiar with the song(Like me!)Lyrics
The Lyrics are a little lacking, because she generally says the same thing over and over. WHat she does say is pretty cute though.Ribons and flowers and arches/You can't escape going through
I think these are the only lyrics that really make some sense in the song. For some reason the words and phrases make little sense to me in this song o.O
Overall Rating
I will give this song 2 and a half stars because it isn't one of Ayaka's better songs. It is a cute song and fits the wedding feel of the special act.
Tuxedo Mask - Kero-chan
Tone/Mood:
It is a very happy song, the first part with the bells remind me about wedding stuff and all the happy events that brings up. I like this song as the last one for the PGSM arc; it would have been perfect for a closure to the Special Act, rather that Sailor Dream (which, by the way, they use it for everything XD;).Placement:
Just for few seconds in the Special Act, where Usagi narrates the girls' life for the past 4 years. I would have loved to hear this song at the ending theme. Sailor Dream has been used a lot, and I think, an ending song for this excellent PGSM year would have been a cool, fresh and farewell song of Minako-chan.Memorable:
Of course! Is the last PGSM song we are going to hear! The upbeat and cheery melody makes it difficult for anyone to forget this song so easily. I think Ayaka-san has a lot of future in acting and singing. She has an excellent voice; she can sing ballads, j-pop and maybe some J-rock in the future perhaps? ^O^Lyrics:
I can't say they are the best; they just make that much sense. Although the song makes us picture Usagi's and Mamoru's wedding, the lyrics are just not that ok.Overall Rating:
I give this song 4 stars, not just for the lyrics, but because I think it is lacking of something (I do still think is good as the last PGSM song), but I prefer Romance or Kiss2Bang2 better than this one.
Jessica - Sailor V
Tone/Mood
The song is happy and cute without the hyper tone that quite a few of the PGSM songs have. Its one of those ones that'll make you smile, but not laugh out loud.Placement
Since it was released after PGSM 'finished' it wasn't used in any of the Acts. I believe it was heard briefly in the Special Act though. I think it would've been perfect as background music for Usagi and Mamoru's wedding scene, or for the final closing credits.Memorable
I think its memorable as a song by Minako that's untainted by the previous angst of her story-line. I know the other songs were often happy, cute and carefree, but songs such as 'Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang' can also be associated with the unhappy ending of the Act it featured in. I'll remember it simply because I associate it with Usagi and Mamoru's wedding.Lyrics
Its another one of those songs that doesn't make a lot of sense when translated into English. However, the original words flow well, even if some of them are rather random. The mention of ribbons, flowers and arches makes it seem as though it's a song meant for a wedding.Overall Rating

This is the kind of happy and cheerful songs I like. And I must say I'm a sucker for Ayaka's songs. I have a feeling that this song could probably lift me from a down period. I also like the feel this song gives since it's in a similar style to one of my favorite artists in her earlier years.Placement
I don't think I heard this, except for in the background of the Special Act. I think perhaps this would have made a nice ending while she was riding off on the motorcycle at the end, though. Or even the end of the series itself.Memorable
It is memorable to me. Unfortunately I never had a copy of the song before now, but I can see myself humming this for a while. Though I somehow find those bell sounds don't quite fit except for the very beginning and intro which has to be my favorite part.Lyrics
There really is no other way to say it. They're just cute. I would actually absolutely love and adore this if it were sped up similar to a Eurobeat song.Overall Rating
This song gets a 4 from me. Happy, cheerful, and cute with Eurobeat potential. And I just can't say no to Ayaka's songs.
Ciao - Sailor Pluto
Tone/Mood
The song is really catchy and infectious and almost makes you want to feel happy despite yourself. I've only just heard it for the purposes of this review and it's already got me hooked, despite the shortcomings of the song. You can tell that Komatsu-san has come a long way from her 'C'est la Vie' days...Placement
As I've been told this song is the theme music for the menu of the Special Act DVD, I would say that it's perfectly placed given the lyrics and style of the music. The organ playing towards the end really fits in well with the wedding theme of the Special Act as well.Memorable
Against my better judgement, this song is incredibly catchy and you can sing along almost instantly after hearing the first few verses.Lyrics
Both the lyrics and the music seem a bit disjointed when the 'Happy Times, Happy Days, Happy Life' part comes around. It doesn't really fit in with the rest of the song even tho it's annoyingly catchy.Overall Rating
After listening to it a few times, the song kind of grew on me. I expected more from the lyricist tho, as I love another song by the same person. This is completely different and not quite the same standard. I would give this a 4 rating.
Tobias - Sailor Venus
Tone/Mood
This song is a nice song to listen to... its mellow then quickens its pace a bit... and yet it reminds me of Christmas... its also catchy to boot.Placement
This song wasn't featured in the show... per se... it wasn't televised. It appeared... briefly in the Special Act (Act 50... technically) Where Usagi and Mamoru are married... It fits Ayaka-san's range well... and seems to be placed well.Memorable
I like this song... as such, I usually listen to this song with the other Minako songs... Its on my MP3 player as well. I have put this on Mix albums. Its another memorable song for Minako... all in all it fits the character. Plus, the chorus... very fun and memorable.Lyrics
Do you feel that the lyrics of the song work well within the context of the music? Do you feel that the lyrics fit in to the context of the show? Please express those thoughts here. If you found a particular phrase or stanza of the music beautiful, please write about it. "Never forget love and heart"I like the chorus alot... "HAPPY TIME KISU shite eien taiyou mitete mo ii no yo HAPPY START koi shite kizuita ne HAPPY TIME, HAPPY DAYS HAPPY LIFE WOO" and the beginning where it says "shunji tsuzukeru tsuyosa to". Its just a good song... its English use is ok... since really they were tolerable... and didn't draw away from the song.
Overall Rating
Its a nice Minako song to listen to... it has a catchy rhythm and is easy to remember...

At first I feel like I am sitting in a church listening to a choir, but the beat finally picked up. I am glad for that as I don't like church music for the most part. The peppier beat does better for this song. It is a nice beat that doesn't get overly annoying and isn't so repetitive that you want to slam your head into the nearest pane of glass.Placement
This song was in the Wedding special and it was well placed, however it would have worked better for the very last episode I think. Though if all the speculation that is flying about them eluding to Usagi being pregnant in the special, then all the more the better as this would THEN fit.Memorable
I am adding this to my iPod right now. Does that mean anything to you?Lyrics
Quirky. But I expect nothing less. But the "Happy Time" bit is going to be a direct quote from me a lot I have a feelin ^_~Overall Rating
4 Hearts. It misses a heart just because it sounded like church music, but other then that, excellent song.

Tone/Mood
I want to sway my head back and forth listening to this. It sounds like the opening song for an anime. I can picture little anime chibi-Ayaka's bouncing on the screen. It's pleasant to listen to but some of the synth music seems out of place or perhaps over-used. I'd really like to hear this performed with a band.Placement
Used (barely) in Special Act. I can't even remember it being there. It could have been used as the ending while the credits rolled. I can't get over all the synth organ in this thing though... I think they were probably going for a "wedding" feeling. It feels very 'put-togeter' at times.Memorable
Not terribly memorable though you may find yourself humming the tune without meaning to.Lyrics
The over-use of Engrish is pretty dominant here.HAPPY TIME, HAPPY DAYS,
HAPPY LIFE
WOO, NEVER FORGET, LOVE AND HEART
This is repeated over and over again. We most certainly will not forget Ayaka, don't you worry.

I have to give this song a 3. It's pleasant, and I'd put it on my playlist. But it won't be the first song I search for.

Very What’s the word it isn’t necessarily cute, it’s very upbeat and danceish! It’s a pretty good beat, and it makes you wanna smile.Placement
Sort of, I mean, it’s only on in the background, and the Special Act CD, if any of you have seen the Special Act, it’s only on when Minako-chan gets an award in England and Usagi-chan is watching it on television.Memorable
This really makes me think of Minako-chan, because it is soooo her singing it, and, already knowing of Ayaka Komatsu from an issue of cANDY that I got one time, and whatever movie she was in too. So, I’d have to say, it is really memorable for me. Very Memorable, but I don’t listen to it too often because I don’t like the woowoos.Lyrics
I like the Lyrics, not too much though, I mean, if you think about it, Romance and Happy Days both seem to Minako-chan/Ayaka-san and some lover, it kind of bugs me, but I haven’t much to say about the Lyrics.HAPPY TIME Seconds of time throb

I didn't pay much attention to this song the first time I heard it, which is on the first part of the Special Act when Minako is being awarded on TV. I just heard the whole song by downloading it on this website. My initial reaction of the song entrance is that it sounds like a Christmas carol. Then I think it is a very upbeat and fun song. It reminded me of the OP song of Pretear and "Sugar Baby Love" by Yoko Ishida. It also reminded me of flying just like in those anime songs mentioned, wherein both heroines are flying (Pretear and Sugar Fairy ?...-forgot ^_^). Lastly, it also reminded me of a Fushigi Yuugi AMV with the song "Dreams Come True" by S.E.S. And once again, there's flying involved! Hehehe! Ayaka's voice is truly angelic, this song could attest to that, and IMO, she's improved. You can't help but smile to this song, very nice! It is also a feel good song. Funny thing is the ending of the song - just watched "Phantom of the Opera" on the movie theater, and it reminded me of the organ sound every time the phantom enters. ^_^Placement
This is the first song played on the Special Act, followed by Here We Go.Memorable
For me it is memorable because I want to fly with this song, which is funny. Will definitely play this over and over again. Heh!Lyrics
I love the chorus of this song, once again... FLYING! (LOL!) The lyrics do fit Minako's character since she's an idol in the series.Overall Rating
I give this song a 5 out of 5. It's 2:29 in the morning, and it made me smile and happy, forget all my worries! ^_^

All I can say about this song is amazing! It is by far one of Minako's best songs, and I for one like it the most. This song evokes a sensation of excitement, excitement for the future and a happy time we all are waiting for our weddings!! I mean the background music makes me think of church bells ringing in celebration of a newly married couple, and the thought of marriage makes me feel overwhelmed with excitement. Not to mention there is such a happy ring to this song (pun not intended)! I love the feelings that this song gives me because I for one feel overjoyed when I think about marrying my Johnny! The beat is so bouncy, and the beginning with the choir chanting "happy time" makes me think of angels. I just adore this song.Placement
Although I am saddened by the fact that this song is only played in the background of the Special Act I feel glad it was put in the act at all. The fact that is sounds like a wedding in the background fits the act because Mamoru and Usagi get married. This song to me foreshadows what is to come in the future for our beloved couple. The placement of this song is in fact fitting to me because it shows a lot of foreshadowing. Did creator of this song write this song just for the couple? It seems like it to me!Memorable
This song is so memorable to me because as I said it makes me think of my future wedding day. Every time I hear this song I wait in devastating anticipation for the day that I can walk down the aisle and experience happy days with my beloved. I know for sure that this song will be played at the reception for my wedding just because it tells of happy times and days to come! Whenever I hear the beginning of this song I know exactly what song it is, and that to me makes it especially memorable.Lyrics
The lyrics of this song definitely fit the context of this music and fit the context of the show. The lyrics tell of a happy time that we all experience with our loved one be they friends, husbands, family, lovers, etc. We all feel certain happiness when we are with that person, and we want to let the whole world know of our happiness.I'll keep fighting this moment with all my strength
Isn't it nice to have all the lights out?
I stretch out my hand in the dark
This arm is always
Gazing ahead at the time
Because it's the same intensity as before
MY SWEET HEART
Do we all want nothing more then to keep the happy moments we feel? That is how these lyrics make me feel. It makes me feel that each happy moment is one to cherish and treasure, and I want to know all of the happy times that are in store for the future.
Ribbons and flowers and arches
You can't escape going through
Because you began here everyday
Your smiling face is enough
I want to see you, don't hold back
Now is a blocked light shower
This part makes me think of the wedding arch I want to walk under once I am married, and I want to see Johnny's smiling face because he is there to start every new day with me for all eternity! The fact that this part is describing a feeling we will all one day feel makes these lyrics perfectly happy for the song.
Overall Rating
I am giving this song a five because this song means a lot to me. The fact that it makes me wait in anticipation for my happy times with a loved one engulfs me with an excitement one feels when they think of a happy future. I love this song not just because of the feeling I get from it but also because of the background music. It sounds like angels are celebrating the happy times that Mamoru and Usagi are going to have together as husband and wife. The lyrics share this happy imagery with all of us so that we can dream about our own happy times. This song is, to me, the song for Mamoru and Usagi and the love they have for one another.
Kuroki Mio - Kara
TONE/MOOD:
Wow ... for once, Ayaka doesn't sound quite as bored when she sings. I think the only other time this happened was with 'C'est la Vie.' This has a nice upbeat feel to it. It seems the composers realised that these work well for Minako.PLACEMENT:
Apparently in the background of Special Act.MEMORABLE:
It's cute, but it's not one of her more memorable ones - hence, no wonder they barely made it audible. Nonetheless, it's fun for a quick listen or two.LYRICS:
Well, it's fairly obvious she's happy. I would consider this vapid, were it not for the fact that this is an image song, and fairly appropriate to Minako as is right now. As a stand-alone, though, I don't know.OVERALL:
3 out of 5 ... it gets an extra heart for being fun, but I can't rate it anywhere but middling because it didn't strike me as especially special.
