"Special Thanksgiving Festival" is a new song by Tamaya2060%, who also produced CANDY TUNE's representative song "Bai Bai FIGHT!". It was performed for the first time at their 3rd anniversary concert held at Nippon Budokan, where it generated significant excitement. While "Bai Bai FIGHT!" depicted the members "before the group was formed," this new song expresses the changes in CANDY TUNE's mindset after the group's formation and the feelings born from walking together with their companions. The choreography was handled by SACO MAKITA, following "Bai Bai FIGHT!," making it a work that allows listeners to feel the continuation of the story from "Bai Bai FIGHT!."

The music video tells the story of CANDY TUNE members living in the brain, overcoming hardships and happy moments together. Events happening in the brain are linked to the real world as the story progresses, depicting a positive and pop worldview. The video is designed to energize viewers, not just through the song but also through its visuals.

In conjunction with the release, a music video viewing party was held with the members, during which it was announced that "Special Thanksgiving Festival" would be released as the 4th double A-side single CD "Title Undecided / Special Thanksgiving Festival" on September 30 (Wed). Pre-orders were announced to begin.

Additionally, CANDY TUNE will embark on a nationwide tour visiting 18 cities and holding 23 performances from August to December. Their activities, as they forge ahead with gratitude for their fans, are not to be missed.
