Chicken Sandwich – TsuShiMaMiRe @ The Middle East

Included as the second track on the 8th album “Sex on the Beach,” released in 2010.

If you’re struggling to decide what to pack for a picnic, a chicken sandwich is recommended.

And if you’re frying the chicken while you listen, this is the song.

Follow the recipe in the lyrics: heat the oil to 180°C, fry for 5 minutes at a lower temperature, then 2 minutes at a higher temperature—double-fry to finish.

HAPPY LIKE A HONEYBEE – Too Early for a Picnic – / FLIPPER’S GUITAR [Official Music Video]

Included on their 1989 debut album.

The entirely English lyrics by Kenji Ozawa were apparently unusual for the time.

As the band’s first tie-in, it was used in a Lotte commercial, and it was also featured as an in-film song in the 2017 movie “P and JK,” starring Kazuya Kamenashi and Tao Tsuchiya.

CANDY POPGARNET CROW

GARNET CROW – CANDY POP

Included as the third track on the 19th single “Hare Dokei,” released in 2005.

A hidden gem that never made it onto an album.

Although the song feels warm, like being in a sunny spot, it carries a fleeting scent of night—capturing the charm of vocalist Yuri Nakamura.

The group disbanded in 2013 to much regret.

LITTLE (KICK THE CAN CREW) – & JOYRIDE

Included as the third track on the 8th single “Yume no Sei,” released in 2007.

A light, refreshing song perfect for an autumn drive.

In 2017, marking the 20th anniversary of their debut, a full-scale restart of KICK THE CAN CREW was announced, raising expectations for even greater accomplishments.
