HAPPY BIVOUAC is a song by Japanese rock group The Pillows. It is featured at the beginning of the fourth episode of FLCL titled "Full Swing", when Haruko Haruhara celebrates scoring another homerun during a baseball match against Shigekuni Nandaba and his team, the Mabase Martians.
Originally released on the band's 1999 album, Happy Bivouac, it was not included on any of the FLCL OST albums for unknown reasons.

Kanji[]
本当は どうだっていい
ああなりたい自分に今日も
追いつけないまま
打ち寄せる明日に
僕らつま先濡らして
頂上に向かっては ちょっと
ハッピービバーク
言えないくらい沢山の痛みさえ
最近じゃ笑い飛ばせる
もう一回だけって何度も
遠回りしてる
誰の真似もしたくない
道なき道を行こう
頂上に近づいてる？ちょっと
ハッピービバーク
ここにある人生で
僕ら得た答えは
頂上なんてないんだ
Yes, ハッピービバーク
Yeah!
Whoa!

how long its been
I still can't catch up with
the person I want to be today
We wet our toes
as tomorrow washes over us
Towards the summit, for a moment, its a
Happy bivouac
Even the pain is so much that I can't even say it
I can laugh about it these days
I repeatedly tell myself, "Just one more time"
as I take a detour.
I don’t want to just copy someone else,
so let's go on a path without a path.
Are we getting closer to the summit? For a moment, its a
Happy bivouac
The answer that we got here
is that in this life
there is no summit.
Yes, its a happy bivouac
Yeah!
Whoa!
