[2026] Candy & Sweets Songs: Sweet tunes that make you crave dessert (31–40)
Fortune Cookie in LoveAKB48
AKB48’s “Koisuru Fortune Cookie” is a song that people all across Japan, from adults to children, have danced to.
Its friendly melody and lyrics won widespread affection, leading to its use in many settings, including commercials.
The “fortune cookie” in the title refers to a cookie with a fortune slip inside, also known in Japanese as an “omikuji cookie.” The lyrics depict someone asking the fortune cookie to predict the future of a one-sided crush that may have only a faint chance.
If you ever find yourself lost in love, why not listen to this song and let a fortune cookie tell your fortune?
Sweet SugarOno Michi ono
A poppy electronic tune that draws you in with its cutting-edge synth sounds.
It’s a Vocaloid track by composer Michi Ono (ono), who was also affiliated with the music production company Vanguard Sound, released in 2013.
The four-on-the-floor beat, chiptune-like blips, and Hatsune Miku’s refreshing vocals blend into a feel-good number.
And the mid-song switch to dubstep is seriously cool! With sweet-and-sour lyrics themed around the “taste of love,” this track definitely deserves a spot on your playlist.
Shortcake syndromecolour
Shortcake Syndrome is a song that instantly melts you into a sweet, enchanting world of desserts the moment you listen.
Created by colour, it features a sparkling, cute melody that makes listeners feel as if they’ve stepped into a dreamland overflowing with sweets.
Interestingly, the titular shortcake never actually appears in the lyrics—instead, it showcases popular Western confections and drinks that pair well with sweets! It’s a dreamy world filled with the sweet aromas of these treats.
If you’d like to experience it, be sure to give the song a listen!
Song of Sweet Potato Yokandororohouse
Imoyokan no Uta, produced by dororohouse and sung by Hatsune Miku.
The lyrics are striking for their constant call to just eat imoyokan! By the time you finish listening, you might be craving imoyokan yourself…
Despite being themed around traditional Japanese sweets, the song’s comedic, poppy melody creates a fun contrast! The lyrics mention not only imoyokan but also various other wagashi, making it irresistible for fans of Japanese confections.
By the way, even though it has “yokan” in the name, imoyokan is apparently made differently from regular yokan.
For now, just bite it.Yabai T-shatsu Yasan
Yabai T-shirts Yasan is a band that always delivers unique and fun songs.
Their track “Toriaezu Kamu,” included on the album “Galaxy of the Tank-top,” features chewing gum.
What’s more, the song was provided for Lotte’s 20th anniversary project for “Xylitol.” A song that repeats “chew gum” this much is incredibly effective as advertising! When something’s bothering you or you’re feeling down and want to reset your mood, the message to “just chew some gum for now” is so YabaT and so entertaining!

I walked home across the birthday cake.Chatto Monchī
Every time you blow out the candles stuck in a cake, you get a year older… It’s catchy yet profound guitar rock that lightly sings about “life.” It’s a song by Chatmonchy, a girls’ band from Tokushima, included on their fourth album, YOU MORE, released in 2011.
It’s not brimming with bright, hopeful messaging, but it doesn’t make you feel pessimistic either.
You can feel the resolve to “live your own path,” and it ends up encouraging you, too.
almond chocolateyurayura teikoku
This sound image, with just the right amount of looseness in the shoulders, is irresistible.
It’s a track by the rock band Yura Yura Teikoku, which had a huge influence on later generations of musicians, included on their second album “Me No Car,” released in 1999.
Rather than analyzing the lyrics, just let yourself sink into the sound! It’s the kind of rock ’n’ roll that makes you want to introduce it that way.
The dry guitar tone intertwines with Shintaro Sakamoto’s vocals to create a truly one-of-a-kind world.
Perfect for when you want to lift your spirits!
