Virtual Currency Girls: A Japanese pop group singing about cryptocurrency

Every member of the eight-person all-girl group represents a different virtual currency, including Ethereum and Ripple

As bitcoin’s 1,500 per cent rally this year has left crypto-maniac Japanese investors likely sitting on hefty gains, there's a new element in town, a musical one, adding to the craze.

Kasotsuka Shojo, which translates to "the Virtual Currency Girls", is the new band singing about personal finance and wants to educate the world about bitcoin and the wonders of it.

The lead singer of the group 18-year-old Rara Naruse says the band wants to promote the idea of cryptocurrency through entertainment that virtual currencies are not just for speculation but a great technology that will shape the future.
