A bite-sized love letter to candy from the Asian supermarket!

In 2019, I made a little one-off track called “i love yakult~”, based on a yogurt drink I often had as a kid. Through writing it, I started to get nostalgic about all of the candies I loved growing up, and right there and then, I came up with the core idea for this EP. Five tracks about five candies, all near and dear to my heart.

I hope you enjoy Ranch 97~
