Shanadoo - Guilty Of Love






SHANADOO is an all female member group made up four young Japanese women from the PLATINUM PRODUCTION agency.

Chika, Junko, and Manami have worked together in the past as part of avex's promotional group, Vivace. Vivace's works include promotional work as race queens, bikini pinup modeling, and even a few eurobeat style recordings for various avex music compilations such as Girl's BOX. Marina was later added to the group as lead vocalist once the project went into production with noted German music producer, David Brandes, at the helm. Brandes' production works include numerous international hits with acts such as E-ROTIC, Bad Boys Blue, and Vanilla Ninja.

Released on June 16, 2006 through one of Brandes' record labels, ICEZONE MUSIC, SHANADOO's first single, King Kong, a cover of E-ROTIC's 2000 work of the same name, later popularized in 2005 by HINOI Team in Japan, was met with great success.

SHANADOO's works were exclusive to Germany and other European markets, such as Austria, until December of 2006, when avex announced that a then untitled debut album would be released on February 28, 2007 in Japan. In January of 2007, it was announced by ICEZONE MUSIC that SHANADOO's fourth single, to be released on March 09, 2007 in Germany, would be original content instead of a Japanese cover of E-ROTIC.

GUILTY OF LOVE is a Japanese cover of the English-language, THE POWER OF SEX, released in 1996, from the album of the same name by German dance act, E-ROTIC. The single also contains another song entitled, KONNICHIWA, a Japanese cover of the English-language JOHNNY Y, released in 2001 by E-ROTIC from the SEX GENERATION album.

Currently, GUILTY OF LOVE is exclusive to Germany and other European markets, such as Austria. There are no plans to bring the single to Japan.

Inspired by the creative idea giver JAY LOW, both decided to take up the Ben E. King classical author “Stand By Me” in a up-to-date new version. “Stand By Me” captivate at the same time by the unmistakable and soulige voice of GEENO, its head voice are correct, with leaves, geil, and by cool R&B Beats and the singular RAP of JAY LOW.

The video to “Stand By Me” was turned into renowned AVA Studios and stands for the American “Gangster Rappers and supersexy girls on fat carriages” - trick in nothing at all after, because Frauenflüsterer GEENO did not bring its “hottest contact” also to the video trick (as bonus TRACKs on the Maxi “Stand By Me”) - the PLAYBOY “PLAYMATE of the YEARLY 2005” GUILIANA MARINO - now featured by Lemon Ice!
