Woke up to the city, sun’s shining bright
Got a smile on my face, everything feels so right
Crossing walk of THE fame
Can't stop feeling excited
I can feel my heart called to the Hollywood sign
Happy in LA I’m feeling
Happy in the sunshine I’m loving
It’s nice to see
The sunset fade away
Happy in LA I’m feeling
Happy in the sunshine I’m loving
It’s nice to see
Beautiful sky all day long
World is my playground, sun’s shining bright
Got a smile on my face, everything feels so right
Driving from Venice Beach to Beverly Hills yeah
I can feel my heart called to the Hollywood sign
Happy in LA I’m feeling
Happy in the sunshine I’m loving
It’s nice to see
The sunset fade away
Happy in LA I’m feeling
Happy in the sunshine I’m loving
It’s nice to see
Beautiful sky all day long

LA*PPY
Kumika Hashimoto
A new song by Kumika Hashimoto, who continues to create music while studying at art university in New York, handling everything from songwriting to graphic design on her own.
This song was written to mark her return to Los Angeles, a city full of dreams that she had visited by herself during her study abroad in Iowa State 5 years ago. Now, she comes back as an artist working hard in New York, carrying new and bigger goals.
The lyrics are filled with the excitement of Hollywood and reflect both the joy of the moment and a strong sense of determination for the future.
With acoustic guitar melody and synth wave in key-changing chorus, the song brings to mind the feeling of a summer night breeze in Los Angeles.
