From when she was little, Nishino learned English from eikaiwa schools, and went to America twice. She then was interested in various genres of music, including hip-hop, R&B and reggae. On the other hand, she also enjoyed traditional Japanese literature, and started singing Japanese folk songs. Her dream of becoming a singer started from junior high school. When she was 16 her mother secretly sent a demo tape of hers to the Miss Phoenix Audition (ミス・フェニックスオーディション).
In 2007, while preparing to be a singer, she was also studying English literature at university. At the time she met Australian duo Nervo, who offered Nishino a song called "I Don't Wanna Know" for use in her music project. Nishino rewrote the song's lyrics into Japanese herself, and re-titled it I.
In December 2007 her official site opened, and from that time onwards *I* ~Merry Christmas ver.~ was available as a digital download from several Japanese sites, including mora.jp. Interestingly, the original version of the song "I Don't Wanna Know" was available as a digital download on the American iTunes from New Years' Day onwards. The physical version was released two months later, on the 20th of February.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's so many
I cannot get enough
Gimme candy candy oh
'Cause the boys look so good
And I cannot make a choice
So how about your boyfriend? We're doing uh-ok
てゆうか the other day この前の party
Nobody cute, it never really started
Open the magazine マジいい感じ
He is on page 3, that is my darling
え～趣味悪 こっちの方がいい
This is what the girls do
You know what I mean?
It's like candy candy oh
There's so many
I cannot get enough
Gimme candy candy oh
'Cause the boys look so good
And I cannot make a choice
Walking down the street and we see some hot guys
Right or left, I really can't decide
えっ ちょマジ?! There's girls with them
We are more 盛れてる than your dumb girlfriend
巻きもネイルも マジでパーフェクト
Beauty from head to toe, who is the ターゲット?

The lyrics to "Candy" by Kana Nishino express the singer's fascination with boys and their attractiveness, using candy as a metaphor for their appeal. The singer is drawn to the boys like candy, unable to resist their allure. The repetition of "candy candy" emphasizes the abundance of attractive boys around them, making it difficult for the singer to choose just one. The opening lines suggest that the singer's daily routine is mundane and uneventful, but their interest in boys brings excitement and joy to their life.
The lyrics also reveal the singer's competitive nature. They compare themselves and their friends to other girls, asserting that they are more appealing and fashionable. The lines about their appearance, such as their perfect hair and nails, reinforce their confidence and desire to stand out among other girls. The mention of parties and the anticipation for a fun night further convey the singer's enjoyment of socializing and being in the company of attractive boys.
As the song progresses, the lyrics shift to focus on different flavors of candy, such as caramel, french vanilla, butterscotch, and cinnamon. This could symbolize the different types of boys the singer is attracted to, each having their own unique qualities. However, towards the end of the song, the singer states that they don't need any more candy, suggesting that they may be content with their choices or have realized that it's not just about appearances.
Overall, "Candy" is a fun and playful song that captures the excitement and thrill of attraction, while also highlighting the competition and desire for uniqueness.
