"HOT!SCOOP!" is the new TV commercial song for "Hotto Motto," currently airing nationwide. The song is a collaboration between Kubonaoki, who composed CANDY TUNE's debut song "Kiss Me Pâtissier," and Su (SILENT SIREN), who wrote the lyrics. It's a sweet and spicy, addictive pop tune with a thrilling band sound intertwined with catchy phrases, making you want to experience it again and again.

Since its pre-release distribution, this work has been attracting attention. The newly released music video features cute and "hot" members. Set in an Asian restaurant, the story depicts the members, disguised as waitstaff, satisfying the hearts and stomachs of the customers. Also noteworthy is the "Mix-Mix Dance" incorporated into the choreography, mimicking the mixing motion of the Yakiniku Bibimbap in the new TV commercial 'Hotto Motto Asia Fair! Yakiniku Bibimbap' featuring CANDY TUNE.

Furthermore, the 3rd single CD 'HAPPY BOUNCE BIRTHDAY', which includes "HOT!SCOOP!", is a highly anticipated work packed with volume and happiness. It features the title track "HAPPY BOUNCE BIRTHDAY," which is a trending birthday song in the Reiwa era, as well as "Super Yuusho Chuuuun!" the ending theme for the 4th season of the anime 'Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun' (NHK E-tele). The first limited edition also includes the new song "Shutdown!", and the CANDY TUNE edition includes the popular song "Ienai Kotoba ~Arigatou~". Release events are also planned, so check the official website for details.

CANDY TUNE will hold two-day solo performances at Nippon Budokan in June. Please watch the music video for "HOT!SCOOP!" many times to prepare for the live show.
