Say Hello To The World's First Cryptocurrency-themed Idol Group, Kaso Tsuka Shojo

Themed idol groups are nothing new, as a matter of fact they make up much of the idol scene as we know it today. Let us not forget that arguably the biggest idol group right now, BABYMETAL, is the product of a theme on paper put into real life. With this in mind we now have "Kaso Tsuka Shojo" or "Virtual Currency Girls", a cryptocurrency-themed idol group.

Yup you read that right, you can rest assured that you now live in a world where the burgeoning cryptocurrency scene and idol fandom are finally brought together. This new eight-member group has yet to participate in any real activities (like officially release their music or perform live) but thanks to their gimmick they are making news the world over. Chosen from an already existing group within the Cinderella Academy agency, the members all represent a different cryptocurrency popular in Japan. The group's look is unique as well. While they are all clad in maid outfits, their most striking features is definitely the luchador-style masks the girls wear that sport the respective logo for the cryptocurrency they represent. Let's take a look at the members themselves a bit...

Naruse Rara (Leader, 18) is Bitcoin Cash (BCH)
Hinano Shirahama (16) represents Bitcoin (BTC)
Ami Amo (??) represents Ethereum (ETH)
Suzuka Minami (22) represents NEO (NEO)
Momo Aisu (??) represents MonaCoin (MONA)
Kanako Matsuzawa (17) represents Cardano (ADA)
Koharu Kamikawa (17) represents NEM (XEM)
Hinata Kozuki (15) represents Ripple (XRP)

The timing of this group's arrival aligns perfectly with the Bitcoin-craze the world is currently in. Leader Rara Naruse claims the group's goal is to inform and educate the general public on the use and benefits of cryptocurrencies and to show them that cryptocurrency is more than just a tool for speculation. They will support this notion further by promising that all future Kaso Tsuka Shojo activities and merchandise will be purchasable using the cryptocurrencies they rep. With the wild fluctuations within the cryptocurrency market one has to wonder whether this is the best route for them, but we'll know soon as they plan to start activities soon with the start of the new year. Get those Bitcoins ready everyone!
