Fresh Faces: CANDY-GO! GO!

Fresh Faces: CANDY-GO! GO!

CANDY-GO! GO! Is another of the fresh faced idol units that has popped up in 2010. The members are from Tokyo, Ibaraki, and Saitama. CANDY-GO! GO! Is a very active unit performing as many as 20 lives a month and are little older then mainstream Idols ranging between 18-20, but more the average age for Indie idols.

What makes this unit win over my heart from a fan standpoint is that their image is that they are a “Shibuya-Kei Girls Rock Idol Unit” [Think Buono!]. This is actually a style that is picking up in the Indies and looks likely to grow even more.

Currently CANDY-GO! GO! Is made up of the following members
Yumi: http://ameblo.jp/ynynblog/ , Ayane : http://ameblo.jp/monch16/
Shouko: http://ameblo.jp/shouko1333/ , Kana : http://ameblo.jp/kana-bunbun/ ,
Tomoka: http://ameblo.jp/tomoka-sakura/ , Nagisa : http://ameblo.jp/pi-popa-po/

From a live standpoint, this unit performs their own original releases and anime track covers, set to an up-tempo beat. Their fan group is called by the way “Candy Strike”.

CANDY-GO! GO! not only has a full active live event schedule ,they have an 1 hour web show every Monday [subscription fee] and every other Thursday night they have a radio show called “Candy Talking”.

So while this may not be a major name idol unit, they are doing exactly the same things that any unit from Hello! Project would do.
