Song Spotlight: Candypop


Here's a belated Sweetest Day gift for fans of Japanese music: the classic 2003 single from female urban duo Heartsdales with a little help from the three hip-hoppin boys of Soul'd Out. Although Heartsdales disbanded in 2006 so singer Yumi Sugiyama could pursue fashion, their music lives on as pop/rap staples and proof that Japanese singers can sing in English almost as well as native speakers can.'Candypop' is perhaps the toughest adorable song out there, and the music video is about as fun as they come. So if you're looking for a tune to serenade your otaku/culturally savvy lover, why not drop a beat with Yumi, Emi, Diggy-MO', Bro.Hi, and Shinnosuke and shout out to emotion that's just mysterious?

You wanna ride? TONIGHT? Kaesanaize all night! ALL RIGHT!
