Comment: There's an allegory here, in how this article has inflated the pop culture sources. A famous cyberpunk writer wrote about them? Yes--two short sentences. No--this was a blip on the pop culture radar without lasting influence. Drmies (talk) 22:40, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

Kasotsuka Shojo (Virtual Currency Girls ([仮想通貨少女]) was an all-girl J-Pop band that became a one-hit wonder for singing about crypto-currencies during Japan’s crypto boom in 2018. The name translated as “Virtual Currency Girls”.
The band's launch was covered in major newspapers, magazines and media websites across the globe, as well as by broadcasters. In the West, these included The Verge[1], the Financial Times[2], the BBC[3], Barron's[4] and Forbes.[5] The Week described them as “the world’s first cryptocurrency-themed pop group".[6] The American cyberpunk writer Bruce Sterling noted their arrival for Wired.[7] Japan Today called the band's fame "an incredible gimmick".[8] They were described as a sign of the hype around blockchain.[9]
Kasotsuka Shojo became a poster child in online media and books for what was happening in Japan with a booming prices for Bitcoin and Ethereum,[10] and in cryptocurrencies more generally.[11] In a film documentary, the Wall Street Journal said creating a band for crypto marketing purposes "epitomize[d] Japan’s crypto craze". The country was a "true crypto paradise ... in part thanks to supportive government regulations".[12]
