Mandarin Dandy

Bringing 'Japanese Retro Pop Ballad' to the World
Ehime Ken' Third Single Celebrates Ikata's Beloved Local Mascots

Ehime Ken, a unique local singer from Nankai Broadcasting known for 'singing about the charms of Ehime entirely on his own initiative,'returns with a new release featuring Ikata Town's beloved parent-and-child mascots, Sadandy and Chibi-Dandy. This song was created as a PR anthem for the local mandarin juices that feature their designs on the bottles.

Set to a moody, nostalgic melody, the dapper father Sadandy-collar up, little curled mustache-embodies the rich sweetness of 100% Unshu Mikan juice, while his son, Chibi-Dandy, brings the refreshing tang of 100% Kiyomi Tangor. And then there's Ehime Ken's voice: alluring and expressive, with a depth and sensuality that at times recalls David Bowie-leaving an unforgettable impression from the very first listen.

Sunshine and sea breezes from the cape, a touch of humor, and a sweet, timeless voice.
Enjoy this new kind of local ballad, straight from the tip of the Sadamisaki Peninsula.
