(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
(6) A rockband from Den Bosch, The Netherlands.
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.

Panama City Motel
Sugar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Only fifteen bucks a day
I didn't want to end up here
But now I guess I need to stay
River red, runs like lead
And the smell of kerosene in my head
Stuck in here in this shit hole
"But senor, I only have ten dollars,
Can't you give me a room for the night?"
We argue about currency and then
He says I can stay for the night
In this Panama City motel
I am out on the freeway again
A woman approaches in Barcelona
Walking down the Diagonalia
Spaghetti concrete overpasses
I keep grasping for something familiar
The lyrics to Sugar's song Panama City Motel are a vivid description of a traveler's experience in a cheap motel in Panama City. The singer sings about how they didn't plan on staying there but are now stuck, being charged only fifteen dollars a day. They vividly describe the poor condition of the place, with the river flowing red like lead and the stench of kerosene overpowering. They are stuck in the motel room, reading foreign magazines instead of exploring the city, which they evidently disapprove of. In the chorus, they reiterate that they are stuck in this motel room in Panama City, and the only thing left to do is get back on the freeway.
The second verse takes us to Barcelona, where the singer sees a woman walking down the Diagonalia, a famous street in the city. The use of the word "spaghetti" to describe the overpasses is telling, as it conveys a sense of confusion and chaos. The singer's use of the word "grasping" indicates that they are searching for something familiar in an unfamiliar place, echoing the discomfort and anxiety they feel throughout the song.
Overall, the lyrics to Panama City Motel are a poignant depiction of the feeling of being lost and alone in an unfamiliar place. The vivid descriptions of the dilapidated motel and the chaotic streets of Barcelona are powerful and convey a sense of unease and displacement.
Line by Line Meaning
Don't you know I need a place to stay
I urgently require somewhere to reside
Only fifteen bucks a day
The cost being requested to accommodate me is inexpensive
I didn't want to end up here
It was not my preference to arrive in this location
But now I guess I need to stay
However, it seems that I have no other option but to remain here
River red, runs like lead
The river's color is a dark, heavy red
And the smell of kerosene in my head
The odor of kerosene is overwhelming me
Stuck in here in this shit hole
I am trapped in this unpleasant place
Reading foreign magazines instead
I am occupying myself with reading materials from another country
"But senor, I only have ten dollars,
"Excuse me, sir, but I only possess ten dollars
Can't you give me a room for the night?"
"Could you please provide me a room for the night?"
We argue about currency and then
We engage in a debate regarding monetary systems before
He says I can stay for the night
He permits me to lodge here for the night
In this Panama City motel
I am currently in a hotel within Panama City
I am out on the freeway again
Once more, I am traveling on the highway
A woman approaches in Barcelona
While in Barcelona, a lady comes my way
Walking down the Diagonalia
She is strolling along the Diagonal Avenue
Spaghetti concrete overpasses
Highways with twisted, complex layouts
I keep grasping for something familiar
I am seeking something recognizable to me
