CANDY TUNE Pilgrimage: Lake Hamana Music Video Locations and Milestone Concert Venues

A music video filmed with the performers dancing against a Lake Hamana torii gate, a camping trip on the grass, and the path from their first solo show to Nippon Budokan. This guide visits filming locations from videos featuring all seven members of CANDY TUNE and venues marking milestones in the group’s rise.

CANDY TUNE is a seven-member group: Bian Murakawa, Mizuki Kirihara, Rino Fukuyama, Nanako Ogawa, Natsu Minami, Shizuka Miyano, and Kotomi Tachibana. At Lake Hamana, they appeared in Kimi no Ne’s music video for “Laid-Back Journey,” and later covered the song themselves. This guide introduces eight places connecting the song’s journey along the water with milestones through their June 2026 Nippon Budokan shows.

Eight places: Lake Hamana’s music video and milestone stages

Lake Hamana offers publicly accessible lakeside walks and reservation-only camping. At performance venues, visitors can see the exterior or areas open to the public, then look back on the day’s stage through official reports and videos. Each entry explains the group’s connection to the place and what visitors can access there.

Bentenjima Seaside Park | “Laid-Back Journey” with the torii gate and lake behind the group

With a red torii gate across the lake behind them, the seven members stand in a line, then move closer to the camera. Bentenjima Seaside Park is where CANDY TUNE appeared in Kimi no Ne’s music video for “Laid-Back Journey.” Released in April 2024, the video follows a journey along the shores of Lake Hamana.

The song is by the music unit Kimi no Ne and is the opening theme for the TV anime Laid-Back Camp Season 3. CANDY TUNE covered it after appearing in the video, releasing their version digitally on June 19 that same year. Lake Hamana is also where a song entered their repertoire through an appearance in another artist’s video.

At the park, visitors can walk along the shore and look across the water at the torii gate and bridge. A scene with the gate in the background appears at around 1 minute 40 seconds into the video, offering a point of comparison with the view from shore. Rather than approaching the gate itself, take in the scene from the seaside park with the lake in view.

The park is about a three-minute walk from JR Bentenjima Station. From the station, head toward the lakeshore and walk in the direction where the torii gate is visible to look for the scenery from the video. Hamamatsu City is redeveloping the park, so follow any on-site notices about construction or areas that are closed.

Nagisaen Campground | Follow the group’s camping trip from the grassy sites

Moving inland along Lake Hamana from Bentenjima Seaside Park, visitors reach Nagisaen Campground, with its broad grassy sites. Kimi no Ne’s official description of “Laid-Back Journey” credits Bentenjima Seaside Park and Nagisaen in Hamamatsu for filming support. MAGES., the song’s label, also describes the video as featuring CANDY TUNE dancing against the scenery at both locations.

Where the seaside park offers lakeshore scenes, Nagisaen brings the trip’s camping moments to mind. After watching the group pitch tents, set out chairs, and relax outdoors, visitors can enjoy the song’s feeling of travel on a camping trip of their own. The cover jacket CANDY TUNE released after appearing in the video also shows all seven enjoying a camping trip in the same outfits as in the music video.

Nagisaen has drive-in sites for cars and open sites on the grass. Camping must be reserved in advance, with online bookings accepted starting 90 days before the date of use. Visitors who are not staying overnight must also tell staff when checking in. Even if you are entering a site to see a filming location, check with the management office before using it.

Nagisaen offers free rental handcarts for moving luggage and paid showers. Open fires on the grass are prohibited; the facility asks campers to use raised grills with long legs. Sound equipment and musical instruments are also prohibited, so please listen to the video’s music without playing it aloud for others. The campground is closed December 29–January 3.

Zepp Shinjuku (TOKYO) | Announcing the goal the seven members set for Toyosu PIT

On October 18, 2023, CANDY TUNE held its first solo concert, NEW WAY, at Zepp Shinjuku (TOKYO). The venue is in the basement of Tokyu Kabukicho Tower in Kabukicho. Its location beneath a skyscraper in the neighborhood makes it easy to find a milestone from the group’s early days.

The concert also took place on the release date of “Twilight Dilemma.” During “CATCH YOU,” the group inserted self-introductions in the middle of the song, tailoring the performance to their first solo show. They sang “Hissatsu Azato Pose” for the first time during the encore. It was a show that paired new songs with special touches added to existing ones for that day.

Member Shizuka Miyano made the major announcement: the group’s first anniversary tour, with its final show at Toyosu PIT. Natsu Minami explained that performing a solo show at Toyosu PIT had been a goal the seven members set before their debut. The two venues, Shinjuku and Toyosu, are linked as the place where they made their goal public and the place where they achieved it.

The venue is at 1-29-1 Kabukicho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, on basement floors 1 through 4 of Tokyu Kabukicho Tower. On a regular visit, the tower’s exterior and entrance are the main things to see; access to the hall is ticketed for each event.

Toyosu PIT | The first performance of “Et Cet LOVE YOU” at the venue the group had aimed for

The final show of CANDY TUNE’s first-anniversary tour, CANDY TUNE 1st ANNIVERSARY TOUR 2024, took place at Toyosu PIT on April 27, 2024. It wrapped up a tour of four cities, turning the goal announced in Shinjuku into a concert about six months later.

The group performed 16 songs. “Baibai FIGHT!,” released digitally three days earlier on April 24, was among them. During the encore, they gave the first performance of “Et Cet LOVE YOU,” written for them by musician Naoki Kubo. For listeners who came to love the song, Toyosu PIT is the place where it was first performed for an audience.

Producer Misa Kimura also came onstage and announced that “Kiss Me Pâtissier” would be released on CD. The group’s own fan club also launched that day. After the concert, there were more ways to follow their activities through recorded music and the fan club.

The venue is at 6-1-23 Toyosu, Koto-ku, Tokyo, about a three-minute walk from Shin-Toyosu Station on the Yurikamome Line and 12 minutes from Toyosu Station. There is no parking or bicycle parking for visitors; on days without an event, visitors can mainly view the building from outside.

Tokyo International Forum | Look back on the national tour announcement through video

CANDY TUNE’s Tokyo show on its second-anniversary tour took place at Hall A of Tokyo International Forum on April 29, 2025. The group announced an eight-city national tour for the fall from that stage. Fans who had come to the spring hall show learned about the concerts that would follow in other cities.

Footage of the concert is included with the first-press limited editions A and B of the group’s first full-length album, Baibai FIGHT!. After seeing the building in person, visitors can look back on the performance by all seven members inside. Limited Edition A is on Blu-ray and Edition B is on DVD; the standard edition does not include the footage.

There are also areas of Tokyo International Forum that visitors can see outside the halls. According to the official visitor information, public areas such as the Glass Building and the ground-level plaza are freely accessible from 7 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. Areas reserved for events are excluded, and the seats and backstage areas of Hall A are not open for casual visits.

Makuhari Event Hall | Their first solo shows at arena scale and “LASTING TUNE”

The additional dates on CANDY TUNE’s second-anniversary tour took place at Makuhari Event Hall in Makuhari Messe on May 4 and 5, 2025. These were the group’s first solo shows at arena scale, drawing about 12,000 people over two days. The entire tour attracted about 21,000.

The Makuhari shows featured a full band throughout. The group performed “Oshi♡Suki♡Shindoi,” written for them by musician Hyadain, and the member-introduction song “Zettai Can’t You Sengen!,” among others. They also performed the new song “LASTING TUNE” for the first time at these additional dates. The shows marked a milestone in their venue size, backing arrangement, and new music.

“LASTING TUNE” was later included as the final track on the album Baibai FIGHT!. A song first performed in Makuhari also became the closing track on an album. When listening through the album, fans can recall the connection between its final song and this venue.

The address is 2-1 Nakase, Mihama-ku, Chiba City. Makuhari Messe contains several facilities, including the International Exhibition Halls; the venue for these additional dates was the Makuhari Event Hall. Makuhari Messe is about a five-minute walk from Kaihin-Makuhari Station. Admission to the hall itself is subject to the terms of each event.

Tokyo Garden Theater | A guest performance with Nobuaki Kakuda and the announcement that led to Budokan

An additional show on CANDY TUNE’s eight-city tour took place at Tokyo Garden Theater on December 5, 2025. About 8,000 people gathered for a performance with strings and a band. Songs were staged in different ways, including “Nanairo Prologue” and the seated performances “Ienakatta Kotoba ~Arigato~” and “Eien Twilight.”

Martial artist and singer Nobuaki Kakuda joined the members as a guest for “Baibai FIGHT!” that day. The group then announced two shows at Nippon Budokan on June 5 and 6, 2026. Just as they had announced their Toyosu PIT goal in Shinjuku, they used this venue to tell the audience about their next stage.

Reflecting on the national tour, Mizuki Kirihara said that Miyagi and Hiroshima, where they held their first solo shows, had stayed with her. At the additional show in Tokyo, the members also shared memories from the cities they had visited along the way.

The venue is at 2-1-6 Ariake, Koto-ku, Tokyo, about a four-minute walk from Ariake Station on the Yurikamome Line and a five-minute walk from Kokusai-tenjijo Station on the Rinkai Line. Hours vary depending on the event. On regular days, visitors can see the building’s exterior and public areas of the grounds.

Nippon Budokan | Two third-anniversary shows fulfilling the announcement at Tokyo Garden Theater

On June 5 and 6, 2026, CANDY TUNE held its third-anniversary shows, CANDY CANDY CANDY PARTY, at Nippon Budokan. The two dates announced the previous December at Tokyo Garden Theater became a reality; both were sold out and drew about 20,000 people in total. The seven members, who had turned their goal of Toyosu PIT into reality after announcing it in Shinjuku, reached another milestone here.

The members’ ideas shaped a 360-degree stage surrounded by audience seating. The shows opened with “Kiss Me Pâtissier,” followed by the group’s songs with a live band. There were rotating songs by day, a lift that brought the performers closer to fans in the upper levels, and their first unit songs. The performances marked a milestone not only in the size of the venue but also in the new ways the seven members came together onstage.

“Special Kanshasai,” written by Tamaya 2060%, who also worked on “Baibai FIGHT!,” was performed for the first time at these shows. The song of gratitude was added at Budokan for fans who had supported the group for a long time and those who had only recently discovered their music. During the encore, the group announced a tour of 23 shows in 18 cities, sharing plans to head to the next places after reaching this milestone.

A regular visit is mainly a walk through the public areas of Kitanomaru Park to see the octagonal roof and front exterior. Nippon Budokan is about a five-minute walk from Kudanshita Station. Visitors can enter the building only if they meet the admission conditions for a concert or other event. Read alongside the Tokyo Garden Theater announcement, the Budokan shows bring the group’s progress over those six months into view through the venues themselves.

Learn more about CANDY TUNE | Seven distinct members and performances that change with each show

CANDY TUNE’s live shows feature more than all seven members dancing together. They also include small-group units and quieter moments where the members sit and sing. After looking at the meaning behind the group’s name, this section introduces the three units formed at Nippon Budokan and the changes to the performance at Tokyo Garden Theater.

Seven members with different shapes and flavors, reflected in the name

CANDY TUNE was formed through KAWAII LAB., ASOBISYSTEM’s idol project. Its producer, Misa Kimura, is also the overall producer of KAWAII LAB. Kimura previously led the idol group Musubizm and has also worked as a model and TV personality.

The word “CANDY” in the group’s name reflects how members with different tastes and personalities come together, like candies in many flavors and shapes. “TUNE” refers to a melody. The name expresses the hope that the seven members’ distinct personalities will come together to make pop music.

Reflecting on the tour at Tokyo Garden Theater, Nanako Ogawa said she enjoyed trying local specialties with everyone and falling asleep afterward. Mizuki Kirihara said Miyagi and Hiroshima, which the group visited for the first time for solo shows, had stayed with her. Memories of traveling together as seven are part of their story alongside the record of their performances.

KAWAII LAB. is a project built around the idea “From Harajuku to the world.” Its introduction of CANDY TUNE also describes the group’s drive to move in a new direction from Harajuku, where many cultures and personalities meet. Looking at the project’s background after seeing the name of the group’s first solo show, NEW WAY, reveals a connection between how the group is presented and the title of its concert.

Three units formed at Nippon Budokan

The unit songs that debuted at Nippon Budokan in June 2026 take on different moods depending on which members are paired together. “Princess Girls♡” by Nanako Ogawa and Kotomi Tachibana brings out the duo’s cute side. Even the heart in the title helps create a world distinct from the songs the group usually performs as seven.

“Bibinatsu FEVER!” by Bian Murakawa and Natsu Minami combines the two members’ names in its title. “Uninstall Chu,” on the other hand, is sung by Rino Fukuyama, Mizuki Kirihara, and Shizuka Miyano. The official Budokan report describes the contrast between a cute duo, a duo with a summer feel, and a cool trio.

With a unit song, listeners can follow one member’s voice for longer than in the short parts each takes in a full-group song. CANDY TUNE performed 28 songs in all at Budokan, including these unit songs and tracks that changed from one day to the next. The two-day anniversary event brought together the group’s earlier repertoire while also introducing new songs with different combinations of members.

An evening at Tokyo Garden Theater with strings and a guest performer

At Tokyo Garden Theater in December 2025, a video of the members expressing their gratitude to one another was followed by string music. The seven changed into new outfits, sat in chairs, and sang “Ienakatta Kotoba ~Arigato~” and “Eien Twilight.” The strings then blended with the band during “Nanairo Prologue,” cued by Shizuka Miyano’s introduction to the song.

The connection with guest performer Nobuaki Kakuda during the encore also began at another venue. Kakuda sang “Baibai FIGHT!” after a Yokohama DeNA BayStars game that August, which led to this collaboration. After performing the song with the seven members, Kakuda also narrated the video announcing their Nippon Budokan shows.

The announcement video for Budokan began with footage of the members from 96 days before their debut. Rino Fukuyama revealed that each member had been interviewed separately during a tour documentary, yet all seven had said they wanted to perform at Nippon Budokan. This event is documented both in a video announcing the specific concert dates and in the members’ own words after hearing the news.

A timeline of songs and performance milestones

From the digital release of “Kiss Me Pâtissier” in March 2023 to their first solo show in Shinjuku, Toyosu PIT, their first hall tour, and an arena-scale show in Makuhari, the group went on to tour eight cities nationwide in fall 2025.

Learn more about “Baibai FIGHT!” and the album | The story behind the song and show footage

The first full-length album Baibai FIGHT! brings together songs first performed at different shows. The title track’s origins in conversations with the members and the story behind its choreography, along with the limited-edition footage of their Tokyo International Forum performance, offer ways into these related works.

A story that continues from “Baibai FIGHT!” to “Special Kanshasai”

“Baibai FIGHT!” was written by musician Tamaya 2060%. During production, he spent a long time talking with the members and wrote the song based on what all seven had to say. Beyond its encouraging words and energetic choreography, listeners can hear it as a song born from conversations with the members during the creative process.

The first performance was at the Nagoya show of the first-anniversary tour on March 16, 2024. The song was released digitally on April 24 and also performed at the Toyosu PIT finale on April 27. It is closely associated with the Toyosu show, but its first performance was in Nagoya—a sequence worth keeping in mind when you discover the song.

Kotomi Tachibana explained on an Asahi Broadcasting Television program that the choreography originally represented the word “fight” as a gesture of encouragement. Viewers thought it looked like draining water from noodles, and the nickname caught on. Even a move made famous in short videos has a message of encouragement from its creators.

“Special Kanshasai,” first performed at Budokan, was also written by Tamaya 2060%, with choreography by SACO MAKITA. According to the official announcement, “Baibai FIGHT!” portrays who the members were before the group formed. “Special Kanshasai” moves the story forward to their feelings after forming the group and what they came to feel while walking alongside their companions. Listening to the two songs by the same creator back-to-back reveals a change in who the songs of encouragement are speaking to and what they aim to say.

In the music video for “Special Kanshasai,” released in July 2026, seven members living inside a person’s mind get through difficult events and happy moments together. The story moves in tandem between the mind and the real world. The Lake Hamana video follows the seven traveling through nature, while this one takes place inside the mind; each shows them uplifting people in a different way.

The creators of “Kiss Me Pâtissier” and “Et Cet LOVE YOU”

“Kiss Me Pâtissier” was produced by Naoki Kubo, with lyrics by Suu of SILENT SIREN. It was released digitally in March 2023, and a CD release was announced at the Toyosu PIT show in April of the following year. A song the group had performed from its early days was set to reach fans on CD as the group marked a milestone.

“Et Cet LOVE YOU,” also first performed at the Toyosu show, was written for the group by Naoki Kubo. The first single CD includes “Kiss Me Pâtissier” and “Baibai FIGHT!” on every edition; the standard edition adds “Et Cet LOVE YOU.” It brings together the new song fans heard at Toyosu and the song announced for CD release on the same day.

If the Lake Hamana video made you want to hear CANDY TUNE’s version of “Laid-Back Journey,” look for the digital release or the first-press limited edition of the first single. The cover is not included on the standard edition featured here. The three editions have the same product title, Kiss Me Pâtissier, but different third tracks, so check the song titles to choose the version you want.

Listen through all 14 tracks on Baibai FIGHT!

Baibai FIGHT!, released on October 1, 2025, is CANDY TUNE’s first full-length album. It contains 14 tracks, beginning with “Overture -first tune-,” followed by the title song “Baibai FIGHT!,” “Zettai Kyanchu Sengen!,” and “Hissatsu Azato Pose.”

The middle of the album moves from summer songs, “Natsu Shika Summer!!♡” and “Kimi mo Zombie desu ka Zombie desu ne,” to “Twilight Dilemma” and “Eien Twilight.” The titles sound alike, but the former was released digitally on the day of the first solo show at Zepp Shinjuku, while the latter was performed as a seated song at Tokyo Garden Theater. Listeners can compare the arrangements on the album with the performances that caught their attention at the shows.

The second half includes “Oshi♡Suki♡Shindoi,” written by Hyadain; “Ai Shichattemasu♡,” performed on tour; and “Et Cet LOVE YOU,” first performed at Toyosu PIT, among others. It ends with “LASTING TUNE,” first performed in Makuhari. The album places the group’s earliest digital single, “Kiss Me Pâtissier,” near the end, rather than ordering tracks by release date.

CANDY TUNE performed every song with a full band in Makuhari, and strings were added at Tokyo Garden Theater. Listen to the album to learn the tracks, then watch the concert footage to hear which parts stay close to the recordings and which changed with that day’s arrangement. Dates and venue names can help you find the performances you prefer.

Check the limited-edition differences if you want to watch the Tokyo International Forum show

The standard edition contains the CD only and has product code KLC-10012. It is an option for listening to all 14 audio tracks. The first-press limited Edition A includes the CD and Blu-ray (KLC-10008), while Edition B includes the CD and DVD (KLC-10010).

The video included with first-press limited Editions A and B is the Tokyo International Forum show on the second-anniversary tour, “CANDY CANDY PARTY.” It is a different venue and date from the additional show at Makuhari Event Hall. If you want to see the seven members performing in Hall A after visiting the Glass Building and plaza, check these video extras.

Blu-ray and DVD require different playback equipment. Although all three editions share the title Baibai FIGHT!, one is the standard CD-only edition, one includes the Tokyo International Forum show on Blu-ray (first-press limited Edition A), and one includes it on DVD (first-press limited Edition B).

Research note | From a business perspective: Carry the excitement of a first performance into the next listening opportunity

At the finale of CANDY TUNE’s first-anniversary tour, the group gave first performances of songs including “Baibai FIGHT!” at Toyosu PIT and also performed “Et Cet LOVE YOU” during the encore. On the same day, producer Misa Kimura announced that “Kiss Me Pâtissier” would be released on CD. This is an example of one concert combining the experience of hearing new songs live with information about a work fans could take home and listen to. Linking a live show with recorded music gives listeners a next step when a song catches their interest.

For event planning, the key is to clarify how the day’s program connects to the next announcement, rather than simply increasing the number of promotions. Keep a record of first performances and announcements in the concert report, and make it possible to revisit that day through later audio and video releases. Articles about visiting a venue can help make that connection, too. Explaining what fans first heard there can convey the venue’s meaning to newcomers. Any effect on ticket or CD sales should be evaluated separately from the value of these records.
