Comments from picco and kiato
picco (Composer)
I imagine most people have tried Peko-chan's Pop Candy at least once.
While keeping lyrics that feel true to Peko-chan, I think the song turned into something people of all ages, from kids to adults, can relate to. The chorus line "Candy for you" has a fun feel that makes you want to call back "Candy!" "Pop Candy!"
The vocal keeps that fast-paced, high-pitched quality typical of Vocaloid songs, but I was able to bring a happy, sparkling, pop atmosphere to the front, so it was really fun to make. Between the illustration and the video, I hope we've delivered a world that's unmistakably picco, through and through!

I wanted to draw the deliciousness and fun of eating Pop Candy — that feeling of wanting just one more piece. I packed in all kinds of playful touches: candies tucked into a pocket, scattered throughout the scene, and even an appearance by Peko-chan's friend, Pop-chan. Just as Pop Candy makes everyday life a little more fun, I hope this piece can gently accompany everyone's cherished days too.
