Taiyo Ginger

Taiyo Ginger (太陽ジンジャー) is a sub-unit of KanojoPOP. The group's style revolves around funk, disco and upbeat pop. They debuted with the song "Upbeat People" by Galette November, 29, 2015.

History:
The original line-up for Taiyo Ginger started off as Ichiki Kei, Iino Juliet and Wakahisa Miu. Later realizing that Miu's voice was more fit for sister group Bellerie's voice profile, she was moved to Bellerie. During the release of Prelude, Miu decided to go on hiatus, in order to focus on her health. During her leave, Seishun Society member Mutou Tea filled in her place. Tea continued to fill the void until the final song of SIEGE. Second generation member Ebisawa Mion later filled in the proper place as a permanent member, bringing the group back to 3 members.

December 26, 2015, Ebisawa Mion graduated from KanojoPOP and Taiyo Ginger but rejoined January 2, 2016. She is, however, missing in action since then.

In March, Fukko-ki member Yokoyama Jurina joined Taiyo Ginger.

Name Origin:
"Taiyou (太陽)" in Japanese means "Sun". The image of the group revolves around an upbeat feeling, so sun seemed the most fitting. "Jinja (神社)" means "Shrine" while ginger is a very vibrant, spicy root. In total the name alludes to the group as a paragon of joy, vibrancy and life.
