I remember this! I finally remembered to do this!<br>
I remember this! I remember it so much!<br>
Wuv U was created during the peak of the summer season.
Wuv U started production during the peak of summer.


This song was the third in the Candy series, after SigSig and smooooch・∀・.<br>
This is the third song in the CANDY series, after [[SigSig]] and [[smooooch|smooooch・∀・]]. However, the hurdles were too high and the progress in making this song was slow.
It was a tough hurdle to make a song as good as the previous two, and progress in making this song was slow.


Although I felt that I dod not have enough time, I was invited by a friend to attend a open air BBQ near the sea as well as a nearby summer festival, which helped to relieve a lot of tension for me (laughs).
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).


There is a bit of reggae in the introduction which symbolizes the summer.<br>
The slightly reggae-like intro gives the song a summery taste.<br>
There is a lot of energy in this song, but at the same time, there is a feeling of loneliness and sadness, as the sun slowly sets and summer fades away.
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!


(Partial translation)
I like the way the bass flows in the latter half of the song.<br>
By the way, the three CANDY girls and the funny title are inseparable from MAYA's illustration!<br>
Wuv U is a tongue-in-cheek way of saying Love You.<br>
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!<br>
And, taking into account the word and its meaning, MAYA's three girls have evolved into the cutest catgirls ever!<br>
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!
