Asami Abe replaces Tsuji in Gyaruru

Nozomi Tsuji’s replacement in the recently formed unit Gyaruru has been decided. The new member is singer Asami Abe, also known for being the younger sister of former Morning Musume member Natsumi Abe.

Keeping in line with the group’s nicknames for Galsone (“Sonene”) and Ami Tokito (“Amimi”), Asami will be known as “Abebe.”

The group’s debut single “Boom Boom Meccha Maccho!” will still go on sale on June 20, as was scheduled before Tsuji’s departure, but it is being re-recorded with Abe. It was also decided that the group will hold a free live performance and handshake event on June 30 at the C.C. Lemon Hall in Shibuya.
