I think it’s a lively song, but we sang our parts in a more mature style, and we both agreed that it would definitely feel great. We recorded it in turns, and we praised each other. Plus, this song is really catchy, and I learned it right away. Our voices match beautifully, and I hope you’ll find something we’re singing. This was our first attempt, and our first time producing a song with someone else, so we were nervous during the recording, but it was super fun, and I think you can really get a sense of Japanese culture in this one song, so I hope you’ll enjoy listening to it and watching the music video. The music video is true to the lyrics, so I think people overseas will enjoy it and be like, “Oh, this is Nakameguro!” I hope you’ll enjoy this song and get excited about it. 【Profile】 CANDY TUNE This seven-member idol group was born from Asobi System’s idol project “KAWAII LAB.” The members are Murakawa Hian, Kirihara Mizuki, Fukuyama Rino, Ogawa Nanako, Minami Natsu, Miyano Shizuka, and Tachibana Kotomi.
