Candies 1½: Yasashii Akuma (キャンディーズ 1 1/2〜やさしい悪魔〜, Kyandīzu Ichi to Nibun no Ichi: Yasashii Akuma, lit. Candies 1½: Sweet Little Devil) is the eighth studio album by Japanese idol trio Candies, released through CBS Sony on April 21, 1977. It contains the singles " Aishū no Symphony" and " Yasashii Akuma". Side B features covers of popular western songs while Side C consists of songs written individually by the trio. The album is the trio's first dual LP release; hence the "1½" on the album title. The blank side of the second disc is etched with the trio's signatures. [1] [2]
