History:
"Koko ni Sachi Ari" is a popular Japanese song, known for its enduring popularity and various covers, including an English version. The original song, with lyrics by Kikutarō Takahashi and music by Saburo Iida, is a ballad that translates to "Here is Happiness". It gained significant traction in the early 1970s with English lyrics and remains a beloved song.
In 1963, Teddy Tanaka landed a record deal in Tokyo. His 1963 album Mr. Happiness was buoyed by a hit single, the ballad “Koko Ni Sachi Ari,” whose English translation — “Here is Happiness” — surfaces in a spoken-word interlude. For generations of listeners in Japan, the Philippines, and beyond, the song is a veritable standard.
