SPICA has released the music video for “I’ll Be There“. The girls, who made their debut this January with “Potently“, are making a comeback after six months. Instead of the strong image they’ve shown in past promotions for “Russian Roulette” and “Painkiller“, SPICA will be going for a fresh, bubbly concept this time around. “I’ll Be There”, written by Jung Da Eun and MARCO,
has been released as a digital single on September 19th KST. It has a
funky rhythm and hip hop beat that meld together to create a great song. Check it out below! (allkpop.com)

Today when i was out one of my friends asked my a really strange question "Do you know what Gyaru means?" i didn't know that but now I know that ^^ From Wikipedia:
Gyaru(ギャル?)is a Japanesetransliteration of theEnglishword gal, that of girl beinggaaru(ガール?). The name originated from a 1970s brand of jeans called "gals", with the advertising slogan: "I can't live without men", and was applied to fashion- and peer-conscious girls in their teens
and early twenties. Its usage peaked in the 1980s and has gradually
declined. The term gradually drifted to apply to a younger group, whose
seeming lack of interest in work or marriage gained the word a
"childish" image. It is now used almost interchangeably with kogyaru. Gyaru subculture is still a large influence in Japan's fashion
economy with gyaru brands branching out and becoming more accessible in
rural areas. In Tokyo, more often than not, a shopping center at each
main train station is dedicated to offering the newest and trendiest
items from popular Gal brands. Some brands are also reaching overseas by
having their items easily accessible in webshops offering world-wide
shipping services. Gal Circles (gyaru-sa/ギャルサー) are also a fun part of a
gal's life. After peaking in 2007, the gyaru trend appears to have
declined in Japan, but has gained in popularity in China.[1] A Gal Circle is a group of gals that meet up and hold events promoting gal style, music, and parapara dancing. There are two main types of Gal Circles, Nago-cir (comfort circles) and Ive-cir (event circles).
Gyaru fashion is a type of Japanese street fashion that originated in the 1970s.[citation needed]. Gyaru is most commonly referred to as ganguro,
but it is actually a subculture of gyaru. It was popular in the 1990s,
but shortly died out in the early 2000s. Gyaru is a girly-glam style,
breaking away from traditional standards of beauty by dwelling on the
man-made (wigs, fake eyelashes, fake nails,
etc.). Gyaru fashion neither fit well with the Japanese traditional
culture nor how the media portray ideals of Japanese women. It is often
classified as a sign of youth rebellion. Gyaru fashion is typically characterized by having heavily bleached
or dyed hair (mostly shades from dark brown to blonde), excessively
decorated nails, and dramatic makeup. The makeup typically consists of dark eyeliner, fake eyelashes and cosmetic circle lenses
so as to create the illusion of large, anime-like eyes. Extremist tend
to get vivid color hair wigs, for example, neon pink or lime green. Clothing pieces for gyaru fashion differ depending on which gyaru style the individual chooses. Popular gyaru models include Tsubasa Masuwaka[2], Sakurina [3], and Wakatsuki Chinatsu [4], just to name
