Female J-POP Idol

The title isn't an exaggeration. This concert is truly one of the best of 2025. I'm not a professional music critic. But I've seen a lot of concerts, by very different Japanese bands, plus everything available on YouTube... Candy Tune is only two years old, and this is their first published concert. It's simply fabulous. You wonder what the magic formula is for achieving such a result. Talent, a lot of hard work. Yes, of course. But there's so much more to it on stage. I knew very few songs by this band. And I was blown away by the quality of their live performance. Their style is incredibly energetic, and what's more, the musicians are with them throughout the ENTIRE concert (that's far too rare), and that brings a way of interpreting the songs quite different from what you hear on a studio CD, but much better. It's very rock 'n' roll at times, and makes you want to crank up the volume on the amplifier... There are far too many concerts where no musicians are present, or only a small contingent. But CANDY CANDY PARTY is on a whole other level. The seven young women have absolute mastery of everything: they exude an impressive "quiet strength." And absolute charm and enthusiasm. For me, it's one of the best concerts of 2025. I wonder what the next concert will be like, this one is already so fabulous. I see that the Blu-ray pressing is (almost) sold out: they absolutely must do another pressing.
