(...) A new Japanese act debuting this week is hoping to become the biggest girl group in the universe.
The group’s name is SG5, and the five members are an IRL, musical take on the characters from the popular anime series, Sailor Moon. Spawning from the Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon world, SG5 (“Sailor Guardians 5”) call themselves an “intergalactic pop supergroup that protects the universe from evil, injustice and negativity.” Their superpower: music, of course.
The five members all came up in the J-pop (Japanese pop) industry: Sayaka, Ruri, Miyuu and Kaede were previously part of the group Happiness, which debuted in 2011, while Rui came from the trio iScream, which debuted in 2021 and recently released their debut album.
