Candies Popular Songs Ranking [2026] (11–20)
Dangerous Saturdaykyandīzu11rank/position

A Perfect Match for the Heart-Fluttering Mood of a Saturday Under Someone’s Approach: “A Dangerous Saturday.” It’s a song by the 1970s female trio Candies, released in 1974 as their third single.
With its upbeat feel, it became a live staple.
The two like each other and things are going well; it even paints a scene where they might spend the night together, but that touch of bashful awkwardness is what makes your heart skip a beat.
Candies’ signature beautiful harmonies and stylish delivery make this an energizing track!
Summer greetingskyandīzu12rank/position
Candies, a three-member female idol group that gained popularity in the 1970s, released their 14th single “Shochu Omimai Moushiagemasu” in 1977—a summer song bursting with cuteness.
Its charming, refreshing vibe is so delightful you might forget the summer heat, making it a perfect track for drives and more.

Candies were a three-member idol group that, at the height of their popularity, suddenly announced their breakup—coining the catchphrase “We want to go back to being ordinary girls!!” Their 7th single, ‘Sono Ki ni Sasenai de,’ is a memorable number featuring an ensemble evocative of soul music and cute lyrics.
The arrangement sprinkles in syncopated hits and obbligatos throughout, creating hooks even at a relaxed tempo.
A timeless classic with a cool, lingering melody.

Candies were a top idol group that epitomized the 1970s.
Until their breakup in 1978, they released many hit songs.
This track is included on the album “Sono Ki ni Sasenai de.” It has a bossa nova touch.
Graduationkyandīzu15rank/position
Introducing a classic song about youthful farewells by the legendary 1970s idol group Candies.
Included on the album “Toshishita no Otokonoko,” released in April 1975, this track gently weaves the bittersweet feelings of two people who will be separated after graduation.
Unspoken emotions and memories of walking home in school uniforms evoke the aching stirrings of an unfinished love at the end of youth.
Ran Ito serves as the main vocalist, delivering the song with a slightly mature tone that leaves a strong impression.
Used as the theme song for the youth drama segment within the TV show “Migoro! Tabegoro! Waraigoro!,” it etched itself into the hearts of many viewers together with the visuals.
It’s a number we especially recommend to those who have experienced a love that ended as just friends or carry feelings they were never able to express.

This was the legendary female trio Candies’ final single, released on February 25, 1978.
Befitting a song that closes out the group’s career, it’s striking how the lyrics are sprinkled throughout with titles of their past hits.
Many ’70s hits are easy to sing and great for karaoke, and this song is no exception—its melody is catchy and very singable.
With this one, scoring a perfect 100 might not be just a dream.
That said, speaking personally, I’d rather you forget about the score and have fun imitating the choreography! And if you can sing it as a trio and even recreate the harmonies, that would be the best.
