Karen Matsumoto (22) and Suzuka Chinzai (25) of the female idol group FRUITS ZIPPER appeared at an information session held in Tokyo on the 2nd for the membership service “Ponta Pass,” which provides coupons and benefits.

Four groups, including FRUITS ZIPPER, CANDY TUNE, SWEET STEADY, and CUTIE STREET, who belong to the entertainment agency ASOBISYSTEM’s new project “KAWAII LAB.”, have been appointed as ambassadors for “Ponta Pass Station” where you can experience the service.

“This is the first press conference event at KAWAII LAB. We’re all nervous because there are some great people in attendance,” Chinzei said in a cold sweat as reporters lined up at the venue.

I also served as the store manager for a day at the same event, and held a “cute” welcome showdown against groups. Matsumoto and Chinzei served as judges, but when they saw the series of cute gestures from the “junior” group, they gave up on judging and said, “Everyone was cute! Everyone is the cutest. Everyone takes first place,” which drew laughter.
