The show's main character. One day she stumbled upon a ChamJam performance. Ever since then, she's been the biggest fan of Maina, spending most of her income on concerts and merch. Usually wears a salmon pink tracksuit, the same color as Maina's clothes. 

Passionate music-lover Eripiyo only wants to see her favorite underground pop group, ChamJam, make it to the big stage at Budokan. Because they’ve enriched her life by their very existence, Eri is willing to dedicate everything she has to see this dream fulfilled – even her health. At their last performance she got a crazy nosebleed. Hey, no one said being a super-fan was easy! (Source: Crunchyroll)

Fairouz was born to a Japanese mother and an Egyptian father. She was named after the Lebanese singer, Fairuz. She spent a few years of her elementary education in Cairo before returning to Japan. During her junior high school years, she became familiar with the manga series [JoJo's Bizarre Adventure](https://anilist.co/manga/31517/). Due to her growing interest in the series, she would join Skype reading sessions with other fans. Eventually, she was inspired to pursue a career in voice acting, but her parents initially disapproved of her plans. Instead, she would initially study at a graphic design vocational school before spending a year as a dental assistant. Once she was able to save enough money for tuition, she enrolled in a voice acting training school.

In 2019, she debuted as [Hibiki Sakura](https://anilist.co/character/132856/), the protagonist of the anime series [How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?](https://anilist.co/anime/107226/)

Megan Shipman is an American voice actress.

Forthright and impetuous Eripiyo is the number one stan for Maina, a sidelined member of the underground idol group Cham Jam. But despite her heartfelt adoration (not to mention the fortune she spends on CDs, merch, and fan meetings), Maina barely seems to be able to look Eripiyo in the eye, let alone acknowledge her devotion. Even so, Eripiyo remains undeterred in her goal to support Maina wholeheartedly and show the whole world how cute and wonderful she is!
 
But maybe Maina has her own secret hopes and dreams for her relationship with Eripiyo... and she's finally gathering up the courage to make her move!
