The HAPPYEND Original Soundtrack Vinyl marks its first-ever worldwide release as a limited edition.

Director Neo Sora challenges conventional notions of Japanese identity and constructs an international, multi-layered coming-of-age story that transcends traditional youth film imagery. Music serves as both the emotional and structural core of the film, channeling the energy and resistance of youth through rhythm and sound.

“HAPPYEND is truly a film for our times, and I hope this score can soundtrack your resistance.”
— Lia Ouyang Rusli, Composer

“Lia’s melodies are what tell the story in HAPPYEND. When I listen to this music, I feel the film all over again.”
— Neo Sora, Director

Album Overview

The LP includes 15 tracks in total.
Side A features 11 original score tracks by Lia Ouyang Rusli.
Side B includes 3 techno tracks by underground artists Sandy’s Trace, athing, and Afterhours, plus OHYUNG’s my torn cuticles! (Vinyl Edit).
A newly remastered version of SUBWOOFER (2025 Remaster) debuts exclusively on this vinyl.

Design studio Propaganda, which created the Korean theatrical poster, handled the vinyl’s visual design. The artwork reinterprets the film’s light, shadow, and urban texture, using high-gloss printing, foil stamping, and other refined finishes to emphasize the tactile depth of analog media.

Inside the sturdy tip-on sleeve gatefold jacket with double pockets, you will find:
an 8-page booklet featuring unreleased stills, notes from the composer and director, artist bios, and track notes;
an 8-page sheet music set for HAPPYEND, LOVE, and WORLD;
and an art card featuring printed signatures of the composer, director, and cast members.

⚠️ Product Notes

Note: LPs are eligible for exchange or return only in cases of playback defects or significant packaging damage.
All records will be carefully inspected and securely packaged to ensure they arrive in excellent condition.

Please note that minor cosmetic imperfections—such as cover marks, corner creases, small stains, inner sleeve splits, or slight label misalignment—do not qualify for exchange or return.

Due to the analog manufacturing process, slight color variations or marbling effects may appear on the vinyl surface. These are not considered defects.

Playback issues such as skipping or popping can often be resolved by adjusting your turntable’s tonearm, plinth, and tracking force. We recommend using a turntable with adjustable tracking force, as all-in-one systems without this feature may affect playback quality. Equipment-related issues are not eligible for exchange or return.

Slight irregularities in the center hole or label alignment may occur during manufacturing and are not considered defects. If the center hole is too small, it can often be gently widened to fit the spindle.
