| Whimsical stress relieving nick-nacks, Ice CreaMusume go kuso |
11 years since H!P formed, its first overseas group Ice CreaMusume officially debut! This group of little girls, averaging 16.3 years old, looks like Japanese style of Taiwanese, even their stress relieving nick-nacks is very Japanese!
Ice CreaMusume consists of Shenshen, Anchii, Peipei, Youko, Reirei, and Guuchan. Since forming last year, they've undergone training in Japan, street promotions, live performances in front of audience over ten thousand, and other star training experience, letting them mature in few short months. But, they've also bore great pressure.
Following H!P tradition, officially debuting groups must introduce themselves to the public on the streets. This kind of process to earn attention is difficult. Since becoming talents, some have become even closer with their classmates, but Reirei, since she had to miss school so much, her classmates thought she transferred! Peipei is also sad about not being able to take care of schoolwork as well.
But the girls are not so fragile. They each have secret techniques to relieve pressure, from bread shaped squeeze balls to Anpanman figure and miss positive goods, each item can give them great pleasure
In addition to pressure relief items to reduce stress, the Ices would also play house, Peipei would be daddy, Youko be mommy, Shenshen is the mistress and be an "ice family". The ices' ability to have fun and create laughter is quite considerable

The elegant Anchii's stress relief accessories are ticketholder and fake bread roll. Because the ticket holder holds the ticket from her first trip to Tokyo Disney, reminding her of good times at Disney when she's down. The roll can be squeezed hundreds of times without damage, it's the best punching bag

Since she's the oldest, Shenshen became the leader of the girls. This time she brought her treasured Anpanman into the studio
Demonstrating how she spins it to entertain herself. Handy Shenshen also showed off her handmade notebook, carefully explaining how she uses two different colored pieces of paper to make inserts. "I'm happy whenever I make a notebook for a gift. I'll think about how he'll see the inserts, I'll get especially happy"Guuchan's Gaoxiong Highspeed Rail trinket
To commemorate her first ride on the Gaoxion HSR, her dad gave her a GHSR toy that she can pull around. When she's in a bad mood it becomes her "punishee", spinning it round and round like crazy

Peipei looks like the cool one of the group, but in real life she adores Stitch! Not only does she bring around Stitch notebook and pen everywhere, in Japan, she took the opportunity to buy Stitch ticketholders, candy, cell strap. Maybe it's because she loves Stitch, her classmates says that she's starting to look like Stitch!

Since she left her favorite character "Miss Positive" at home, Reirei could only record her voice into the toy loudspeaker, and play back: "I love Miss Positive!" When Miss Positive "is busy" and couldn't make it, the loudspeaker is her best friend

Youko: Windless fan
Word sparing sweetie wasted no words showing off her happy toy. She aimed the little fan on toilet paper and pressed the button, showing off her fun collectible. Using action to show the Orz point. Her shy and cute nature drew praise from the photographer on her potential, which she just replied with "thank you". Simple but effective.
