\"The real sign of our times is Japan's new all-girl pop group Kasotsuka Shojo, each of whose eight members represents a different cryptocurrency. They're holding their first cryptopop concert in Tokyo this Friday.\
\
The group, whose name translates to Virtual Currency Girls, was recently launched by Japanese entertainment company Cinderella Academy, which also manages several other popular groups, to educate the public about the crypto world, in song. Each girl in the group represents a different currency such as bitcoin, ethereum or ripple, which can be identified from their fuzzy masks.\"\
