Happy Birthday (single)

Happy Birthday (ハッピーバースデイ) was a single released by Japanese pop duo Puffy AmiYumi in 2011.



The title should not be confused with the song title 'Happy Birthday To You' as featured on their cover album PUFFY AMIYUMI x PUFFY.

The single has regular and limited editions (the latter which contains a bonus DVD showing live concert footage).

The title song is used as the opening theme to the Japan Countdown, whilst the song 'Banzai!' was used for a MOW ice-cream commercial.

The single contains an extra 3rd track unusual for any Puffy release to date; it is a song medley made up of various Puffy songs meshed into roughly 7 minutes long from the live concert at Gingakei Drive during their 2009 tour at Nagano Santerasu Hall.

The medley contains samples of these songs (some of them repeated often) in this main order: Circuit no Musume; Youkai Puffy; Kore ga Watashi no Ikirumichi; Kuchibiru Motion; Yume no Tameni; Puffy no Tourmen; Jet Keisatsu (repeated the most); Mogura-Like; Nehorina Hahorina; Stray Cats Fever; Nichiyoubi no Musume; Sunrise; Atarashii Hibi; Oriental Diamond; Nice Buddy; Aoi Namida; Kimi to Autobike; Tokusuru Karada; Wedding Bell. Some last for a few seconds, while some are far longer (when repeats are put together).
