Song Production Information

kors k

I remember this! I remember it so much!
Wuv U started production during the peak of summer.

This is the third song in the CANDY series, after SigSig and smooooch・∀・. However, the hurdles were too high and the progress in making this song was slow.

Although I had no time to spare, I reopened my door (!?) and went to an outdoor festival and had a BBQ at the beach with my old friends. So I made this song with an "IRL enjoyment" tension (laughs).

The slightly reggae-like intro gives the song a summery taste.
The overall tension of the song is very high, but the feeling of loneliness and melancholy on it reflects the sun slowly setting and summer fading away!

I like the way the bass flows in the latter half of the song.
By the way, the three CANDY girls and the funny title are inseparable from MAYA's illustration!
Wuv U is a tongue-in-cheek way of saying Love You.
It's a word that was used in an American cartoon set in a world 1000 years in the future that I'm into.

It's saying "Love You" in a baby-like voice, and it was so cute that I used it in the title this time!
And, taking into account the word and its meaning, MAYA's three girls have evolved into the cutest catgirls ever!
Ye~ah, they are just too cute! I'm proud to say that Wuv U has become a song that everyone will love for a very long time!

＾ｗ＾ Wuv Wuv!
