“Candy Pop” is the 3rd single of bless4, a well known vocal group composed of the four
siblings Akashi, Kanasa, Akino and Aiki from Japan. Besides several chart hits in Japan, their
European debut “Dandelion” was placed #1 in the international charts of Radio 88,8 Berlin in
2010 and was listed in the TOP 10 several weeks. “Dandelion” was played by radio stations
all over Europe. The 2nd single “Sunshine Dancer” was very popular with the fans and was
also broadcasted often.
Due to permanent demand from fans outside of Japan, not at least because of their unique
live-voice-performance, the group toured through different countries and performed on small
stages as well as in huge halls. The first LIVE show in Europe was in Berlin/Germany. The
members of bless4 grew up in America which gives them the ability to be the only Japanese
group singing in native English.
The production of “Candy Pop” itself was realized by the cooperation of professionals in
Japan, Germany and England which makes it a unique international project. The mastering
of “Candy Pop” at the Abbey Road Studios in London by Geoff Pesche who amongst others
cut the vinyl lacquers of "Dire Straits” platinum selling “Brothers in Arms", completes the
production.
