Peropero Candies
Peropero Candies (ペロペロキャンディーズ) are a five-piece all-girl idol group from Nipponbashi, Osaka, Japan. They are a girl idol group based in Osaka's Nipponbashi area. The band has the nicknames Perocan (ペロキャン) and "PPC". They are managed and promoted by Amigo Japan and the band was selected by public audition in Nipponbashi in August 2006, and last performed in February 2008. The group was selected from approximately 15 candidates, who presented themselves (hobbies, interests, aspirations) in front of an audience canvassed from the shopping streets of Nipponbashi.
The target audience of the group are the Nipponbashi otaku and as such the Peropero Candies are Osaka's answer to Tokyo's AKB48, though much smaller in scale.
"Peropero Candies" literally means "candies that you can lick", or lollipops. The groups members, at the time of formation, ranged in age from 14 to 19 years old.
