Spring Storm - Candies

It’s a classic that heralds the arrival of spring, distinguished by its guitar tone and refreshing melody.

The harmonies of the three members of Candies, along with their powerful yet light vocals, beautifully capture the atmosphere of spring.

Released in March 1976, it sold about 490,000 copies and was also performed at the 27th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen that same year.

Although it was originally included on the album “Toshishita no Otokonoko,” the response was so strong that it was quickly released as a single.

It’s a song that makes your heart feel light when you listen to it as winter’s chill eases and the breath of spring begins to be felt.
