After he changed his stage name and signed onto Polydor, he recorded the first studio album Danzetsu in 1971.

The existence of The Beatles inflated Inoue's interest in music at a young age. Around 1966, Inoue is said to have written his first song. This song has never been recorded, but Inoue has performed the song occasionally during his concerts.

In 1969, he recorded the song "Candre Mandre" at his house, in order to be played on the radio program Smash!! 11 which was aired on RKB Mainichi Broadcasting. It received a lot of requests from listeners of the program, but in fact, most of them was from Inoue's friends. However, pretense favorable reaction gave him opportunity to make debut. He moved to Tokyo and recorded "Candre Mandre" at the studio, with the arranger Hitoshi Komuro and his band Rokumonsen. Newly recorded version of the song was released as a single by CBS Sony label in September 1969, under the distinctive stage name "Andre Candre". Reportedly, the artist name was initially credited to "Mandre", but altered after it was refused by a director of Smash!! 11.
