Hello! Project member Nozomi Tsuji has joined a new unit with idol Ami Tokito and competitive eater Galsone, produced by Tsunku. The group is called "Gyaruru" (ギャルル), derived from the phenomenon known as "gyaru" (gal) culture. The concept behind "Gyaruru" is a typical representation of the culture: flashy fashion, ganguro makeup, eurobeat music, and para para dancing.

The trio made their public debut on Tuesday in Ibaraki, performing their first single, "Boom Boom Meccha Maccho!" The CD will be released on June 20.

"Gyaruru" has been in planning since even before Ai Kago (Tsuji's partner in the group W) was dismissed from work in March for her second underage smoking violation. At a press conference before the performance, Tsuji mentioned that she still wishes W could have continued, but she plans to do her best as part of the new unit.

Tsuji was appointed leader of the group, and will be known as "Tsujiji." Similarly, Tokito will be called "Amimi" and Sone will be called "Sonene."
