I have been told by a K3 fan that the equivalent of K3 in Japan is a girl group called Perfume.

Interesting, but no other Pop act in any culture or language can match this. K3 rules!

K3’s usual target audience is kids, but they branch out — Karen Damen in particular, who was in a play called Taxi, Taxi.
This is Karen in a TV show that was on, yes, Nickelodeon. Standards are a bit different in Europe!
