Ichiki Kei

Ichiki Kei (市来慶) also known as G☆LE or Gale Kakumei, is a net-based cover singer. She is the leader of KanojoPOP and a member of Taiyo Ginger. She mixes songs, edits videos, creates sprites, composes original songs and creates graphics.

2014:
Despite her lack of experience, Ichiki Kei started off with an acoustic cover of Berryz Koubou's "Motto Zutto Isshou Ni Itakatta". Following this cover, she would later on create the unit Berryz Boulangerie. The group ultimately failed due to her lack of experience and knowledge. Shortly after the ambiguous disbandment, she and the sub-leader of the group (Ueno Nari) decided to conceptualize a new cover group, that was padded and prepared for any obstacles. The concept went through many overhauls, eventually evolving to a duo.

Over the year, Kei would stack up on video editing skills as well as graphic design.

2015:
Kei started off the year, by covering songs by Angerme and attempting to audition for a dub group for the first time. Due to an extreme illness, she wasn't able to audition, but gained confidence from her solos.

in August Kei (G☆LE) did a collaboration with Mutou Tea (MejraThea) of Seishun Society and covered GALETTe*'s Shijo No Ai.

Later in the year Kei and Nari decided to finally push forward with their concept and expand the concept to a full fledged group, while still preserving their duo. Each member was selected carefully, and with that on September, 20th KanojoPOP began its activities.

Catchphrase:
"To be a part of this world, the world must be a part of me. Please take care of me, Ichiki Kei!"
