(1) Project of former Hüsker Dü member Bob Mould.
(2) A Korean girl-pop group.
(3) A Japanese visual-kei group (Ｓｕｇａｒ).
(4) A Copenhagen producer, DJ and co-founder of Fast Forward Productions.
(5) An Australian psy-trance producer/artist

Sugar (1) was formed by Bob Mould after the breakup of Hüsker Dü, and conceived as having a similar sound, though with Mould as the sole leader. As such, the band was a trio with Mould on guitar and voice, David Barbe (formerly of Mercyland) on bass, and Malcolm Travis (formerly with Zulus and Human Sexual Response) on drums. The band released three studio albums and a collection of live tracks and B-sides before breaking up in 1995.
SUGAR (2) (슈가) was a 4 member moderately successful girl pop group originating from South Korea. The group began in 2001 with their first album Tell Me Why that included the two singles Sweet Love and Tell Me Why. Afterwards a year later they released their sophomore album Shine which was more successful than their first. Like other fellow Korean acts SUGAR emerged into the Japanese market with their first two singles GO THE DISTANCE and All My Loving after their second Korean album.
Then soon afterwards Jung Eum, a member of Sugar decided to leave the group after their mini album Secret was released. Replacing her with Haleen, SUGAR moved on to release two more singles and their sophomore Japanese album. Then moving back to their roots SUGAR released their 3rd Korean album Sweet Lips one year after their mini album. Yet after this release Soo Jin announced that she would also be leaving SUGAR to concentrate on an acting career.
With the release of SUGAR's sophomore Japanese album COLORS 4 WISHES, each member decided to be a solo musician. Then on December 20, 2006 KBS World Radio announced that SUGAR would disband at the end of 2006. 아유미 (Ayumi/Ahyoomee) has since become a member of the SMTOWN family.
Sugar (3) (Ｓｕｇａｒ; シュガー) was a Japanese Visual/Nagoya Kei rock group made up of ex-Vall'na racill vocalist Loki, SIZNA (Gu.), 殊 (Koto; Ba.) and 篤人 (Atsuto; Dr.). The group started in mid 2004, and in 2005 they released their first single. Unfortunately, 殊 (Koto) left the group on December 29th, 2007 after their live at Shibuya CLUB QUATTRO. In January Shingo joined the band as their new bassist. In March 2008 they released their first full album, SWEETEST.
Only four months after the departure of 殊 (Koto), a newsletter was sent to fans explaining that they were to disband. This was due to musical differences between the members and they felt they were unable to continue on as a band. They also announced the Sugar LAST ONEMAN TOUR , a three day three-man event to be held prior to their final one-man tour. May 8th featured lynch. and Sel’m, DuelJewel and MaitoreiA on May 9th, and Ｍｏｒａｎ and ｂｏｏｇｉｅｍａｎ on the last date.
Their final release, titled Letters, came out on the 20th of May and was sold in advance, on May 8th, at the LAST ONEMAN TOUR [ epilogue ] at Takadanobada AREA. The final tour started May 15th at Sapporo KRAPS HALL and the final concert was at Shibuya O-East on the July 4th.

Sugar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pleasantly surprised, I never thought you'd realize that maybe
I have taken this form you
If I was deserving, who am I to disagree
How can I refuse this, even if I don't deserve it
And now, I give this gift to you
Could have got you anything, but this will have to do
Doesn't seem like much, but it's the best that I could do
I'm giving everything away before I go for good
And once you give the gift away
There's nothing you can do about it
Nothing that you do or say
Can change the way I feel about it
Try to look inside of me
To find the gift that I am giving
Glad you had a chance to see
The gift that I'm delivering
The lyrics of Sugar's song Gift seem to express the idea of the exchange of gifts, but not in a materialistic way. The gift in question is not actually defined, which makes it possible to interpret it in many ways. The song begins with the singer expressing surprise at receiving a gift from the one he/she loves. The gift seems to be unexpected and undeserved, but the singer accepts it with gratitude anyway. It's interesting to note that the second verse suggests that the singer gives the gift to the loved one, but it's not clear whether it's the same gift or a different one. The lyrics in the third verse express the idea that a gift, once given, cannot be taken back, and the recipient's reaction cannot change the giver's feelings. In the end, the singer mentions that the gift given may not seem like much, but it is the best that he/she could do.
The song's message seems to be about the importance of giving freely, without any expectation of receiving something in return. It's not about how much the gift costs, but about the intention behind it. The act of giving is what counts. The lyrics also suggest that the act of giving can be liberating and that it's possible to give everything away before leaving. It's not clear what the singer means by leaving, but it could be interpreted as leaving a relationship, or maybe even life itself. The idea of letting go of everything is reinforced in the final verse, where the singer suggests that the recipient of the gift should try to look inside him/her to find the gift that is being given, instead of focusing on material things.
