TOKYO: Japan’s latest “idol” band, the Virtual Currency Girls, took to the stage for their debut concert Friday to educate the public about cryptocurrencies -- playing to frenzied fans waving their arms and chanting together.

“Our brains are fried as we are studying every day” about virtual currencies, said the group’s leader Rara Naruse, 18, as they began their live concert in Tokyo.
