The girls also released their first music video preview on Thursday.
Marshmallow Girls (like their counterpart, Sausage Bread Guys) started gaining attention in 2013 as an equally cute, fashionable body type. Since then, idol groups advertised for their cute chubbiness started appearing in Japan and Korea. Avex Records' group, simply called "Chubbiness" debuted in 2013, and help promote the restaurant chain, Chubby's. The group's music video introduces the 10 girls and their ideas of acceptance by pointing out that just because a girl is chubby, doesn't mean she doesn't work hard.
