""Happy Hour" is one of my favorite Shonen Knife albums. If asked to name my top five Shonen Knife songs, there's a good chance three of four of them come straight of off "Happy Hour. (The rest would come from "Let's Knife.")All the food hits are here, "Cookie Day," "Hot Chocolate," "Sushi Bar," "Banana Chips," "Gyoza," Shonen Knife is at their best when they are singing little ditties to tasty treats. Upbeat, fast and happy, this is the kind of music to wake you up in the morning. "Konnichiwa" and "Shonen Knife Planet," the songs Shonen Knife usually opens their sets with, are both on this CD as well.This version of "Happy Hour" is the Japanese release, with 5 extra tracks, which are 5 English versions of other songs on this CD. It is nice having both language versions of the songs, and worth it."
