■Tokyo Girls’ Style
“I want to sing and dance to convey the joy of music!”
A girl group consisting of Yamabe Miyu, Arai Hitomi, Nakae Yuri, and Shoji Meo, formed in 2010. Having experienced two Budokan performances, she has been active overseas as well as in Japan, and has been captivated by her musical sense, including performing solo concerts in Taipei and Hong Kong, and has suddenly become a popular figure among the girl group.
We’ve become a popular girl group that continues to release high-quality songs in a wide range of genres, and performs live performances that pursue the possibilities of dance and vocals.
