Kirakira Girls, featuring Kiraritchi, Yumemitchi, Pianitchi, Memetchi, and Himespetchi
.
Kirakira Girls (or Glitter Girls) is the name of a band that first appeared in Tamagotchi! Yume Kira Dream. It consists of five (later six) main female characters in the anime.
Biography[]
The band started out in episode 25 and were officially named in episode 28. They use Smapi pads and often play songs by D2, such as Kirakira☆Dream and even an original song, Rock 'N' Heart!. They often wear Kirakira Tamamori when they perform live. Their rival band is Pretty Princesses and their male counterpart is Rainboys. They once competed in a band contest in episode 35, but neither of them won (the prize went to a different band that competed).
Departure[]
Himespetchi was the first to leave the band because of her parents request after performing in the contest. Coffretchi then took over her place as drummer in the following episode and onward. Yumemitchi and Kiraritchi left in episode 191 to enroll in Idol Academy. Because of this, the band no longer performed for a while.
Short time reunion[]
When Yumemitchi and Kiraritchi returned in a Miracle Friends episode 12, they performed with the Kirakira Girls band again. Himespetchi didn't reunite with them, but she did appear in a flashback. Afterwards, they left again back to Idol Academy.
Full time reunion[]
All members reunited in GO-GO Tamagotchi!. Himespetchi returned in episode 1 and Yumemitchi and Kiraritchi returned in episode 3. Although all members appeared together, they didn't perform together again since Yumemitchi and Kiraritchi became idols. In episode 45, however, a girl called Nadeshikotchi inspires Yumemitchi and Kiraitchi to restart the Kirakira Girls band with all six members performing together again. In episode 50, they performed a special version of Happy Happy Harmony with Lovelitchi and Melodytchi to cheer up Tamagotchi Planet; however, Yumemitchi and Kiraritchi only sang whereas Memetchi played the guitar instead of her usual saxophone.
