CANDY TUNE’s official YouTube channel has just released the music video for their new song Etoseto LOVE YOU (エトセトLOVE YOU). The song is available digitally at the link below, although it seems to only include Apple Music and iTunes. The other links lead to their social media profiles.
【MV】CANDY TUNE「エトセトLOVE YOU」
The video shows the members in what looks like a shop, but they are actually inside a fictional dating simulation game called *Eto Seto Love You*. There’s a character with a wrapped candy for a head who is playing the game on something that looks like a PSP or PS Vita (though it’s obviously not a real game). As he selects different options, his “Love Gauge” increases.
During the chorus, the girls hold up a giant receipt featuring the logo of “Market Candy Tune.” Instead of products and prices, the receipt shows event dates and venues like “250411 FOREST,” referring to their April 11 concert at the Japan Special Ceramics Civic Hall Forest Hall, and “250418 FENICE,” referring to their April 18 concert at the Fenice Sakai Large Hall. The subtotal shows “230,314,” a reference to the group’s debut date, March 13, 2023. The tax section says “Ame-chan,” which is the name of their fandom, and the total reads “Priceless.” (But hey, for everything else… there’s Mastercard.)
Near the end of the video, the candy-headed character starts button-mashing like he’s playing an action game, which causes the game to glitch. Someone taps him on the shoulder, and when he turns around, all the members of CANDY TUNE are standing behind him… in his room. They’re all smiling sweetly and making heart signs with their hands, but the candy guy looks absolutely terrified, as if these are the final moments of his life.
In the post-credit scene, he appears to be sleeping. For a moment, I thought it was all just a dream — but the girls are still there, standing around him in silence. Did he die from shock? I’m starting to think this bright and colorful video might actually be telling a horror story… something like *Sadako*, lol.
