Members:
* Watanabe Hideki (渡辺英樹; Bass, Precussion, Leader)
* Ryu Kouji (笠浩二; Drums)
* Sekiguchi Makoto (関口誠人; Guitar, Saxaphone)
* Taguchi Tomoharu (田口智治; Keyboard)
* Yonekawa Hideyuki (米川英之; Lead Guitar)
The band formed in 1982 when Watanabe wanted to start a band with Ryu and Sekiguchi as Coconut Boys. They performed at various events and live concerts later that year as they painted a image as the Japanese-made Beach Boys. They got their major debut a year later with the single "Candy"], the image song for a Yoplait Yogurts commercial.
Soon after, the band released their second single as they added Taguchi and Yonekawa to the band and changed their name to C-C-B. Their big hit came in January 1986 when they released the single "Romantic ga Tomaranai". Their summer single, "Lucky Chance wo Mou Ichido", was also a hit as the song gave the band's first appearance on the end of the year special Kouhaku Uta Gassen. They also won the Gold Award at the 27th Annual Japan Record Awards and the Best Ballad Song Award at the 1986's FNS Kayousai.
But, Sekiguchi left the group on 1987, causing the slow decline of the band's popularity. Two years later, C-C-B disbanded after their final live at Nippon Budokan. But, the band got back together later on. For example, all five members got back together for the final episode of the television program The Best Ten five years later. Also, the group's biggest hit, "Romantic ga Tomaranai", was used frequently in the dorama Densha Otoko, causing the group to became popular once again.
In 2008, the band got back together with only Ryu, Sekiguchi, and Watanabe as they played their first live shows at cities like Nagoya, Osaka, and Tokyo since their breakup.
Can You Handle It
C-C-B Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't wanna know
Can we keep it all a secret?
I'm fighting off my demons and I'm doing it alone
Don't know how you aren't seein the future that I'm seein
When I'm with you I feel home
Maybe I can't be what you want from me, but I've been trying all along
Gave my heart up you can keep it, without you I wouldn't need it
You could make me hurt, you could make me heal
Kinda wrapped around your finger if I'm being real
I done offered you my heart, you don't gotta steal
I just hope you feel the same way that I feel
Hey, but I ain't counting on it
My heart is poundin when I'm round you don't know how to stop it
This voice is loud and honest
And you be crowding up my brain, will you please get off it?
Will you please let me do me
I've had enough heartbreak for all my weeks
And they've all made me so weak
But man I wish that I could say the word 'we'
I don't wanna know
Can we keep it all a secret?
I'm fighting off my demons and I'm doing it alone
Don't know how you aren't seein the future that I'm seein
When I'm with you I feel home
Maybe I can't be what you want from me, but I've been trying all along
Gave my heart up you can keep it, without you I wouldn't need it
You can make me whole
The lyrics of C-C-B's "Can You Handle It" is all about fulfilling the every whim of a woman who's in a relationship with a man who gets paid or a gangster who's become a star. The song is made up of several stanzas that list the various things that the woman in question can have if her man gets paid or becomes a famous rapper. It includes everything from luxury cars, designer clothes, and expensive jewels to intimate moments in exotic locations around the world.
The song is a classic example of the "bling culture" that emerged in hip-hop in the late 1990s and early 2000s. It was a time when rappers flaunted their wealth and success in the music videos, and the lyrics of their songs were all about excess and indulgence. This particular song highlights the idea that women are attracted to men primarily for their wealth and status, and that they will do anything to maintain their lifestyle. The lyrics reflect a toxic attitude towards women, reducing them to material possessions that can be bought with money.
Despite this problematic message, "Can You Handle It" was a popular song in its time, due in large part to its catchy beat and memorable lyrics. It was part of the soundtrack of many nightclubs and parties, and it became a popular anthem among those who wanted to embrace the excess and hedonism that the song embodies.
