Shy Guy / CANDIES

A song by the Candies, a girls’ group emblematic of 70s pop music, infused with the influence of soul, sings the charms of a shy boyfriend.

The lyrics lovingly portray his endearing side—clingy and timid, blushing and getting embarrassed—in a way so cute it’s sure to make you smile.

Released in June 1975 as their sixth single, the track was also used as an insert song in the film “The Drifters’ It’s a Patsy!! You’re Under Arrest!!”.

Following “Toshishita no Otokonoko” (“Younger Boy”), the performance centered on Ran Ito captivated fans at the time.

This work is recommended for anyone who wants to look back on the bittersweet romantic memories of their youth.

Dangerous Saturdaykyandīzu11rank/position

Candies “Dangerous Saturday”

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!

Candies “Don’t Get Me in the Mood”

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.
