Before Shanadoo
Manami, Junko and Chika were known as the idol group 'Vivace' under the label Avex. There was also a forth member named Kotomi Ban but she left the 'Vivace' in 2005. The group mainly existed for promotion purposes. They released trading cards, photobooks and two songs, 'Flame Love' and 'On My Own'. These songs should remain their only ones until the girls decided to team up with Marina as the lead singer to form 'Shanadoo'.

As a note, 'Vivace' are still sort of active. Their last live performance was on 02/04/2006 during Avex' Girl's Box ~Spring Special Live~. Also, Manami, Junko and Chika are still working as a models.

Overall Meaning

The song "Carry On" by Shanadoo is largely about having a good time at a club with a loved one. The lyrics speak of a club full of people having fun but the singer is focused on their partner, who they call their paradise. The singer wants to hold their partner close and share a dance with them. The refrain of "Baby, carry on" is a sentiment of wanting to continue the good times and not let negativity or stress get in the way.

The second verse speaks about a change in their partner's appearance, but the singer assures them that they understand their partner completely and their feelings are not affected by their physical appearance. The bridge speaks of the singer's desire to be with their partner, but they also understand that their partner might have other obligations that need attention. Despite this, they want their partner to be with them and continue to create happy memories.

Overall, the song is an upbeat and positive message about enjoying life and the moments we share with the ones we love. It encourages us to continue having fun despite the difficulties we might face and reminds us that our loved ones can help us overcome those difficulties.
