Candy Bomber" is a J-rock inspired band/project formed by five musicians of various musical backgrounds with a burning passion of music and providing endless entertainment to the people. Like the idea of AKB48 joining forces with Visual-Kei then leaping through an adventurous journey with Polysics and The Clash at Demonhead, Candy Bomber takes the standard "Rock Band" and fuses it together with styles and instruments from different genres of music - the Uke, Sax, and at times the Kazoo. The audience is sure to hear their familiar favourite tunes from Anime and J-Rock, combined with a mixture of Jazz, Pop, and METAL, along with Original works that capture a unique sound that is very much their own.
