CUTIE STREET Members Talk Viral Debut Single & What it Means to be an Idol: Billboard Japan Women in Music Interview
The women of CUTIE STREET shared their thoughts on the message of their debut single and what it means to be an idol.
The J-pop girl group’s debut single, “Kawaii dake ja dame desu ka?” (which roughly means, “isn’t it enough to just be cute?”) took off on social media and hit No. The members — Risa Furusawa, Aika Sano, Kana Itakura, Ayano Masuda, Emiru Kawamoto, Miyu Umeda, Nagisa Manabe, Haruka Sakuraba — come from different backgrounds, including not only those who aspired to be idol performers from the beginning, but also those who started off being an influencer, actor, dancer, and student.
