Serani Poji - Smiley o Sagashite (2002)

from One-Room Survival (2002)

forget about the beach boys and fuck the magnetic fields (but also weezer and bruce springsteen). this is possibly the coolest summer song ever made!

[paisenpaisen]

what an absolute banger, hope they find smiley

[CassianBlank]

You ever tryna be depressed and sad, but then the most upbeat banger of a song starts playing, and suddenly life is okay once more?

[Madzillahx]

[omorimacarons]

i remember being obsessed with this song in 2021, so glad serani poji is finally getting the recognition she deserves for such a banger

[vienpham]

Holy shit
2 iconic popular songs from the same album ☠️

[Grim_Pinata]

Katamari has made me obsessed with this type of extremely sweet and upbeat Japanese summer music, and I cannot fucking get enough of it. Anyone have any other songs that have the same vibe of this song and Lonely Rolling Star?

[EmoO_o]

When i was in the mental hospital and i was feeling depressed my friend always sang to me "where is my friend the smiley?" And this song will forever remind me of him

[blink_forever]

WE FINDING SMILEY WITH THIS ONEEE 🗣️🗣️🗣️💥💥

[R-xyig]

僕は白い気球を作った
お気に入りの赤いステッカーも貼った
ヘルメット　パラシュート
ふたつずつおそろいで用意した
tuturu…
ここまでは簡単だった
旅の支度はあとひとつだった

地面をあちこち掘り返した
手紙くるかとポストで待ち伏せた
テーブルの下までも確かめた
流れ者に聞いてみた
tuturu…
どこにもいない見つからないんだ
僕と旅する友達なんだ

(Where is my friend smiley？)
君の名前はきっとスマイリー
(mm～ Have you seen smiley？)
僕が勝手につけました
(Where is my friend smiley？)
探してる友達のスマイリー
(He hey！ Where is smiley？
His name is smiley)

ポップコーンを空に打ち上げて笑いあえるはずさ

気球を運ぶ渡り鳥は
そろそろ南へ飛び立ちたいといった
寒い冬　来る前に　いきましょと
あぁ、君はどこにいる
tuturu…
ひつじ雲が旅にさそった
たたずむ影は僕ひとりだった

どこか知らない国をめぐって
同じ思い出をこの気球にのせて
広い空　すみずみを　風きって
ふたりならゆけるだろう
tuturu…
今年もここで冬を越すのかな
あとはスマイリー、君だけなのに

(Where is my friend smiley？)
会ったことない友達さ
(mm～ Have you seen smiley？)
いつかみつけだすよきっと
(Where is my friend smiley？)
気球はもうふくらんでるよ
(He hey！ Where is smiley？
His name is smiley)

君なしじゃ心が重くて飛び立てないのさ

(Where is my friend smiley？)
君の名前はきっとスマイリー
(mm～ Have you seen smiley？)
僕が勝手につけました
(Where is my friend smiley？)
探してる友達のスマイリー
(He hey！ Where is smiley？
His name is smiley)

ポップコーンを空に打ち上げて笑いあえるはずさ

本当は名前すら知らないんだ
僕の友達…

This song is pure head bobbing vibes, absolute best.

[EndlSswastaken]

I listened to this song while my first time playing RE2 remake yesterday and I was fighting the first boss with the eye ball and my brother was blasting this song and I was fighting for my life while I was terrified 10/10 way to find this song

Boku wa shiroi kikyū o tsukutta
Okiniiri no akai sutekka- mo hatta

Futatsu zutsu osoroide yōishita
Tuturu

Koko made wa kantan datta
Tabi no shitaku wa ato hitotsu datta

Where is my friend Smiley ?
Sagashiteru tomodachi no sumairi-
He - hey ! Where is Smiley ? His name is Smiley .

Poppuko-n o sora ni uchiagete warai aeru hazu sa

[Tunamust]

It feels like something that would fit into summer playlist, I feel nostalgic whenever I listen to this…

[Heoffperc]

We are late to witness this masterpiece

But itd never too late to look for mr smiley

[ZelinIsNotKool]

If yall don’t know the meaning of the song it’s kinda deep. It’s about a friend that lost their smile so they ask. “Where is you’re smile?” But for the song it’s “where is my friend the smiley?” Asking. Where is the old happy them.

[kisekinomahou]

Randomly came up in my recommended and been jamming since.
