[2026] Songs about candy and sweets. Sweet tunes that make you crave desserts (51–60)
chocolateDOES
A wistful rock song that likens the sweetness and bitterness of memories to chocolate.
Created by the band DOES, known for hits like “Bakuchi Dancer” and “DonTen,” it was released in 2010 as their ninth single.
It was written as the theme song for Tokyo Chocolate, a short film produced by the confectionery maker Mary’s.
Its crisp sound arrangement—anchored by an acoustic guitar timbre that lingers in the ear—is striking.
It feels like giving something up, yet somehow remains forward-looking… When something unpleasant happens, this song might help you feel, “Alright, on to the next.”
CANDY SMILEE-girls
This song is brimming with sweet, cute charm.
It showcases E-girls’ bright appeal to the fullest, and just listening to it is sure to put you in a happy mood! Chosen as the CM song for UHA Mikakuto and released in April 2013, it captured the hearts of many.
Centered on themes of dreams, hope, and self-transformation, the lyrics carry a positive message that conveys the importance of accepting yourself.
It’s the perfect track when you need a boost of energy or are starting a new challenge.
It will surely bring a sweet smile to your face.
cotton candyback number
This is the sixth single by back number, a three-piece rock band beloved by a wide range of listeners for their irresistibly relatable, sentimental lyrics and wistful melodies.
Chosen as the opening theme for the music program COUNT DOWN TV, the song features a somewhat wet, summery arrangement that dovetails with the story in the lyrics.
The words depict a kind of daydream that most men have probably indulged in at least once, likely prompting many listeners to recall their youth.
It’s a rock tune whose deft use of “sweets” is spot-on, and one that makes you want to root for the story’s protagonist as you listen.
Strawberry ChipsHALCALI
How about swaying your body to some laid-back hip-hop? This track by the musical duo HALCALI was released in 2003 as their fourth single.
With rough, wah-driven guitar and an easygoing vibe, it’s perfect for relaxed listening.
The duo’s soft vocal work is another real charm.
The lyrics, however, tell a slightly bittersweet story of heartbreak.
If you’re feeling down about love—say, after being brushed off by someone you like—listening to it might just offer a bit of comfort.
The Third Pudding WarHONEY WORKS
There’s never an end to fights over food, is there? The hard rock number “The Third Pudding War” captures that intense battle over something to eat.
Produced by HoneyWorks and sung by Hatsune Miku and GUMI, the song’s lyrics depict a cheerful scene of making pudding and everyone eating it together in harmony.
But when you watch their music video, you’ll see a fierce clash between Hatsune Miku and GUMI over the pudding…
In the end, just like in the lyrics, it wraps up with everyone happily sharing the pudding.
Grudges over food are something people with siblings or large families might especially relate to.
Even if it turns into a quarrel, it’d be nice if, like in this song, everyone can sit down and enjoy it together in the end!
Slave to chocolateSKE48
An irresistibly charming SKE48 smash hit, sweet like chocolate.
The lyrics deftly capture a man’s feelings around Valentine’s Day, leaving a strong impression.
The desire to convey one’s love through chocolate, and the hope of receiving chocolate in return, evokes memories of youth—secret crushes in the corner of a classroom.
Released in January 2013, the song debuted at No.
1 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.
It was also selected as the ending theme for TBS TV’s “Tsubokko Musume,” earning wide support across generations.
A perfect track for the Valentine’s season, recommended to anyone who longs for sweet romance.
