A hardcore otaku and one of the original fans of ChamJam. He followed Reo's career even before the new group was formed.

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)

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!
