KARA and Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku Share the Stage at Kandy Jam vol.1
The rare two-man performance between Korean girl group KARA and Japanese idol group Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku at Kandy Jam vol.1 has fans buzzing over their collaborative stage.

Korean girl group KARA and Japanese idol group Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku (Private Ebisu Junior High School) made fans' dreams come true with a rare joint performance at "Kandy Jam vol.1" on February 21 at Pia Arena MM in Kanagawa.
The highlight of the evening came when both groups performed "GO GO γ΅γγΌ!" (GO GO Summer!) together, creating an electric atmosphere that had fans screaming with excitement. This type of collaboration between a veteran K-Pop group and a Japanese idol unit is exceptionally rare, making the moment even more special for attendees.
KARA, the legendary second-generation K-Pop group that gained massive popularity in Japan during the Hallyu wave, has maintained a strong connection with Japanese fans throughout their career. Meanwhile, Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku, often shortened to "Ebichu," represents the energetic spirit of Japanese idol culture with their school-themed concept and high-energy performances.
The "Kandy Jam" event appears to be a new live series bringing together artists from different backgrounds, and this inaugural show certainly set the bar high. Fans took to social media to share their excitement about seeing two distinct but beloved acts share the same stage, with many calling it a dream collaboration they never expected to witness.
Both groups brought their signature energy to Pia Arena MM, creating a night that bridged the gap between K-Pop and J-Pop in the most entertaining way possible.
