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]
