Show Notes
In the first proper episode of the BeruBara Tag Boom Alex gives an introduction to this extended look into what was happening in Japanese girls' culture in the 1970s, what elements were used to help create the Beauty Pair and Crush Gals, and why it resonated so much with teen girls during that time.
