Well, no, it's not exactly a candy bar, but this photo of a slice of cherry cheesecake is the only thing that I could come up with as a thumbnail at short notice.
And the reason for me to track down something sweet as a photo is this May 1985 5th single by singer-songwriter Mami Ayukawa（鮎川麻弥）, "Candy Game" which has the subtitle of "Candy Bar" (certainly know what the latter is but not sure on the former). Ayukawa's previous entries here on KKP have been of the City Pop variety but "Candy Game" is nowhere close to the 80s urban contemporary genre of Japan. I'd probably say it's closer to a New Wave take on upbeat 1950s or 1960s pop. I definitely get hints of "The Loco-Motion" by Little Eva. Words and music were provided by BIDDU.
This another one of those videos Youtube isn't going to let me watch however I can see this one for some strange reason: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCUMbVv_uU0
ReplyDeleteThank heavens for those backups. From my vantage point, King Records has blocked the video from being seen here on KKP but can be seen on YouTube proper.
