Each member’s unique individuality and expressiveness have made a big leap in their live performances. To help you get to know CANDY TUNE better, we’d like to unravel and explain their appeal in this article, titled “CANDY TUNE Guide 5.” What is CANDY TUNE? A seven-member group characterized by diverse personalities and teamwork. https://img.youtube.com/vi/SxElCEDeFvc/sddefault.jpg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxElCEDeFvc CANDY TUNE is a
seven-member female idol group formed in 2023 by KAWAII LAB., a project run by Asobisystem. The members are Kirihara Mizuki, Fukuyama Rino, Ogawa Nanako, Minami Natsu, Tachibana Kotomi, Miyano Shizuka, and Murakawa Hian, and fans nickname them “Ame-chan,” a play on the group’s name. The group’s greatest defining feature is the
overwhelming digital success they have achieved in just two years since their debut. While they only have around 270,000 subscribers, as of September 2025, their YouTube views have exceeded 280 million, demonstrating a level of buzz that is incalculable given their subscriber count. It’s also worth noting that each of the seven members has their own strengths, such as singing and dancing skills, social media presence, and conversational ability, all of which support the group as a whole. Just like a multitude of colors blending together on a canvas, it’s only when each member’s individuality comes together that the vibrant world of “CANDY TUNE” is complete. This harmony of personalities and teamwork is one of the reasons they’ve attracted so many people in such a short space of time. CANDY TUNE is a seven-member idol group that debuted in 2023 under KAWAII LAB. They deliver pop, cute, and positive gal-minded songs set to a band sound, captivating audiences with their high-quality live performances. Their song “Double Fight!”, released in 2024, has been viewed over 3.8 billion times on TikTok, and has garnered a lot of attention from people of all ages for its ability to make them feel positive. They are the idol group whose live performance is most definitely worth experiencing right now. 1. CANDY TUNE’s meticulously engineered “buzz formula”
https://img.youtube.com/vi/9HKbo1FstOE/sddefault.jpg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HKbo1FstOE CANDY TUNE’s popularity is no coincidence. The reason their music reaches so many people is because each of their releases is packed with meticulous
craftsmanship. This is particularly evident in their signature song, “Double Fight!”. From the very beginning, the song features catchy phrases that stick in your head, choreography that’s sure to get you imitating, and plenty of content that’s sure to make you want to share it on social media. Their music videos and performances are chock-full of devices designed to leave a lasting impression and spread naturally, such as highlighting the highlights at the times when viewer ratings are at their highest. In other words, ASOBISYSTEM leverages the skills it has built up over the years to prioritize a memorable viewing rhythm. CANDY TUNE’s music is packed with the charm of being memorable and humming along at first listen or glance. CANDY TUNE’s buzz can be described as a “handmade spread” that combines gimmicks, playfulness, and the high level of communication ability of the members and the team as a whole. 2. CANDY TUNE’s diverse music goes beyond cuteness and reaches the heart

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYzZdo3s1Ww CANDY TUNE’s music is more than just “cute and fun.” Its greatest appeal is its depth, which reaches deep into the heart. The energetic melody and positive lyrics of “Double Double Fight!” are a powerful cheer song for those in need of courage, encouraging them to take on new challenges. Meanwhile, for those who are trying too hard, the innocent, down-to-earth words can suddenly resonate painfully in their hearts. “Hanamaru” is another song that gently accompanies everyday life. It’s filled with kindness, affirming small efforts and modest achievements, saying, “That’s okay.” Enveloped in the light sound and gentle vocals, you’ll find yourself suddenly relaxing. For many, this song is an important one that relieves stress and anxiety. It shows a different side of them with every listen—it’s precisely because of this music that CANDY TUNE has transcended the boundaries of idols and is beloved by so many. 3. Singing, acting, modeling, social media… Seven members with shining personalities in many areas
https://img.youtube.com/vi/yh7cE1o3xNM/sddefault.jpg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yh7cE1o3xNM One of CANDY TUNE’s charms is that each member has their own unique personality. Though each of the seven members possesses a unique personality and background, when they share the stage together, they blend together like a colorful palette, demonstrating exceptional teamwork. Kirihara commands the audience with her overwhelming presence, while Fukuyama expands the group’s momentum with her active social media presence. Ogawa’s emotional expressions, Minami’s sharp dance moves, and Miyano’s stable vocals are all essential pieces to the group. Tachibana lightens the mood as a mood maker, while Murakawa, drawing on her extensive experience with HKT48, provides a relaxed and easygoing performance and a sense of security when interacting with fans. Murakawa’s experience has elevated the group’s overall performance since their debut, and Kirihara’s sharp dance moves further enhance the social media-friendly choreography. It is precisely because each member’s strengths intertwine in this way that CANDY TUNE’s stage presence generates greater energy than the sum of their parts. CANDY TUNE’s rapid success is due to the brilliant combination of the seven members’ diverse personalities and experiences. 4. Unity created by family-like relationships that go beyond teamwork https://img.youtube.com/vi/zySQr65hE78/sddefault.jpg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zySQr65hE78 What I’ve noticed in interviewing members of CANDY TUNE so far is the closeness between the members. They often get together privately, and sometimes find themselves chatting nonstop while watching videos together. One story recounts how, when they rented a large lodging facility, “there were four bathrooms, so we’d open the doors and talk while we all bathed together.” Their natural, unreserved relationship gives the impression of a family rather than just friends. It’s also striking how the members seem to spend as much time together as they do, with no clear boundary between work and private life. Behind the synchronized performances and exchanges they display on stage and on set lies a deep trust. That’s why, at a live performance, audiences sense not just technical perfection, but the warmth and atmosphere that permeates the seven members. It’s precisely because they trust each other and express themselves that a sense of unity emerges in their performance, and this feeling spreads to the audience. 5. An overwhelming CANDY TUNE live experience you can’t get from video https://img.youtube.com/vi/q7qZcz1fLng/sddefault.jpg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7qZcz1fLng CANDY TUNE’s live performances stand out from those of other idol groups. They give it their all on any stage, and even when they’re out of breath and sweaty, they never stop smiling and never fail to impress. Their performances are like watching idols—or rather, their way of life. The charm of their live shows also lies in the closeness between the members and their fans. The natural words and gestures they throw at the audience from the stage, the moments when the members exchange eye contact and smile, and then everyone sings together, waving their penlights, and completing the song together. The sense of unity that emerges is a special experience that no video can fully capture. CANDYTUNE’s songs are known for their pop, catchy melodies and light-hearted rhythms, but the addition of live performances enhances their appeal. The song’s contours emerge clearly, and their vocals and dancing stand out even more vividly. Especially in fast-paced numbers like “Double Fight!”, the band’s driving force draws the entire venue into a frenzy. CANDY TUNE is an idol group that shines brightest during live performances.
