Yukipoyo Officially Launches Her Music Career 🎤
Yukipoyo (real name: Yuki Kimura, born October 23, 1996, from Kanagawa Prefecture) built her career as an exclusive model for the magazine egg and appeared on both The Bachelor Japan Season 1 and the U.S. version of The Bachelor. Now she’s officially kicked off her music career as “Yukipoyo” 🎤
These days she’s also active across variety shows and acting, and this new project comes with a clear mission: bringing Japan’s gyaru culture (a flashy, glam Japanese fashion and lifestyle subculture) to the world.
Expect to see a lot more of her as this new chapter of her career takes off.
Music Video for “Te-Te Gyaru” Filmed All Over Shibuya 📸
The title of her new single, “Te-Te Gyaru,” comes from “tee-tee,” gyaru slang meaning something like “precious” or “wholesome.”
The lyrics are packed with slang spanning generations — throwback phrases old-school gyaru would recognize alongside ultra-current lines about being an unapologetically glammed-up gyaru 😂
The track was produced by XLII, who’s written songs for artists like MINMI and AKKOGORILLA.
The music video was shot on location all over Shibuya — the Scramble Crossing, SHIBUYA 109, and even inside a purikura (Japanese photo sticker booth).
It also features exclusive models from the legendary gyaru magazines egg and nuts, making for a video that’s packed with authentic gyaru culture 📹
The video was produced by PUSH JAPAN, the team behind Megan Thee Stallion x Yuki Chiba’s “Mamushi” music video, which won Best Trending Video at the MTV Video Music Awards. That alone should tell you how good this one’s going to be!

I had no idea Yukipoyo was becoming a singer!
And naming the song after “tee-tee” (Japanese slang for something wholesome and precious) is such a genius move 😳🎶
If you’re into gyaru culture, you need to hear this one!
