Confession! I feel really guilty about being kind of late on this, but fortunately being a step late meant that I could share better, and unconditional, news — in a few days, Candye Syrup will be issuing a new single (well, new.5), I think the first official physical release by the new regime. When this was first shared with me by a very helpful and friendly and no doubt fun-at-parties insider, the record was definitely venue-only, but things changed a little bit shortly thereafter.
Here’s the official announcement:
【重大発表】
8月10日に渋谷Milkywayで開催されるCandye♡Syrupワンマンライブから、新体制初となるシングルCDのライブ限定販売を開始します。
CDには「Syrup」のリマスターバージョンと「Strawberry Milky」の二曲を収録。
ライブ会場にて是非ご購入ください! pic.twitter.com/HdhNyozMv6— iDOL Candye♡Syrup (@CandyeSyrup_) August 1, 2019
That’s Senanan’s artwork, btw; KOUICHI on the composition
That’s next weekend! My fingers are crossed for some video to go with. What changed is that, while it’s still a venue-only release in Japan, we filthy gaijin fans will be able to pick it up via our old pals at Chaotic Harmony (and Owaranaide, Yoru’s, too). They’re available for pre-order right now!
Candye♡Syrup and Owaranaide, Yoru pre-orders are now live! Both CDs come signed and as a set with a group cheki.
Pre-orders will close at the end of 08/09/2019.
