History

Karen Girl's was formed from elementary school children as a result of an audition. It was represented by the Amuse talent agency, and released its records on the Geneon Universal Entertainment Japan record label.[1] The group was introduced as "a little sister" to the girl trio Perfume. Karen Girl's sang several theme songs for the anime Zettai Karen Children, and became inactive after the series ended. In 2010, Ayami and Suzuka became founding members of Sakura Gakuin, an idol group formed by the same agency.[2] Yuika became a member of the idol group Maboroshi Love.[3]

Suzuka became a founding member of the metal idol band Babymetal, taking the stage name Su-metal. With her new band, she performed a cover of the band's debut single "Over the Future", rearranged as a heavy metal cover subtitled "Rising Force ver.",[lower-alpha 1] at the show Legend "D" Su-metal Seitansai at Akasaka Blitz on 20 December 2012, the same day as her fifteenth birthday.[4]

gollark: Regardless of your opinions about whether they """truly understand""" language, they *are* able to seem vaguely like they do.
gollark: mgollark™ (milligollark) will use a language model™.
gollark: ugollark (microgollark) ran on bad Markov chains.
gollark: You should fear the inevitable mgollark™.
gollark: It's like amino acids; many combinations go to the same memory cell.
