Spanish Panel: Living together as a Gyarusa (10 am PST / 7 pm CEST)
Back in the day being part of a gyarusa was a must when being Gyaru. Each gal had their group of friends to organize meetings, events, compete on Para Para contests and more. However gal units weren't just a group of friends, they had their own hierarchy and graduation system, so for this panel Ivan and Sue (Spain) will share everything you didn't know about them.
