(Group) Jelly Beans

Jelly Beans

Members: Yuuki (left) and Sakura Asakura (right)



Some of us ran into them at the Japan Expo, the Chibi Japan Expo or Japan Day in Germany, so I figured they could use a thread.

Yuuki (singer-songwriter) and Sakura ASAKURA (singer, model, actress) started their vocal duo « Jelly Beans » in May 2007.
They compose and write the lyrics themselves. 3 singles and 1 album have already been released. Their music is supported by wide range of people and accessible to all ages.

The duo name « Jelly Beans » reflects their wish to be loved in the world for their various « colours » and « flavors » like the sweet candy.
In Japan, the « Jelly Beans » play an active role in « Akihabara », one of the most mutinational districts in Tokyo. Since 2008, they have broadened their international activites to France, Germany, and China. They have been appointed as « Ambassador to Japanese Pop Culture » by the consul general of Japan in Dusseldolf, Germany.

The « Jelly Beans » are expanding thier visual field. They are « image character » of a Maid Cafe called « Akiba Gakuen 2 nen 1kumi » in Tokyo, and of « Berry Mobile », a company offering mobile phone services for Japanese people living abroad.
Yuuki and Sakura ASAKURA are also pursuing their solo careers. Their potential is enormous and exceeds the stereotype of « pop idol ». Look at them. Listen to their music. They will capture your heart!

Seems like Yuuki will be at the Japan Expo Sud in France this year again. I think she spends more time in France than in Japan
