A gyaru mindset that uses complexes as weapons

Takano: I really like the catch copy of Peropero Kyande. You said that Yajima-san came up with this one.

JanetMayuka: Yes, that’s right.

Takano: “To you, who are in a corner of the earth, we bring you the gyaru mind. How did you communicate with Mr. Yajima about this?

SUNNY-PLAY: Simply, Mr. Yajima put into words what we were thinking. We are also like this, so we have been through a lot in the past. We have been subjected to insulting words and actions, and we have not fit in with our surroundings. However, we realized that complexes can be a weapon, and we are trying to communicate this to others.

Celeina: I see.

SUNNY-PLAY: We want people to dress the way they want and live the way they want. That is what we call the “gyaru mindset. When I was thinking about how to express such a stance to people at ……, Yajima-san came up with this catchphrase.

Takano: It’s a very nice phrase. I hope you, the people in the corners of the earth who listen to this radio …….

JanetMayuka: Delivering the gal mind~ (laughs).

Celeina: Please let us know if you have any announcements about live shows or song releases.

SUNNY-PLAY: We are releasing a new song called “Lollipop” on August 6.

Celeina: “Lollipop” by Peropero Kyande!

JanetMayuka: That’s right! It’s our theme song.

SUNNY-PLAY: On December 9, we will hold our first solo live in our hometown Osaka. We are releasing 8 new songs in a row until that one-man show, and the second song will be “Lollipop.

Takano: I am looking forward to this. I’m looking forward to listening to the new songs and getting ready for the one-man show.

Celeina: Please check it out. Now, “FIST BUMP,” as a circle of friends connected by goofing around, we are asking you to introduce your friends to us.

JanetMayuka: I would like to introduce NENE from the idol group Meme Tokyo.

Celeina: How did you become friends?
