Hit and popular songs by E-girls
Let me introduce some songs by E-girls, a group active as the “little sisters” of EXILE.
E-girls is a female entertainment collective composed of the teams Dream, Happiness, and Flower.
As mentioned at the outset, because they’re considered EXILE’s sister group, they aim for true entertainment through singing and dancing, and reportedly do not operate as idols.
Reflecting that philosophy, E-girls has sub-groups, Rabbits and Bunnies, and beneath them is a dance school called EXPG.
From this dance school, members can join Rabbits or Bunnies, and if they build up their skills, they can be promoted to E-girls; promotions and demotions are said to occur regularly.
Behind their high-quality entertainment lies this rigorous, merit-based system of working one’s way up.
