Chihaya's introduction.
Profile
“Won't you come with me to chase greater heights and see the scenery from high above?”
The DJ of FLOW GLOW.
A self-proclaimed driver with 300 horsepower, nobody can put a break on her when she talks and sings.
Though still a newbie at DJ-ing, her earnestness, combined with the curiosity that she inherited from her brother, will make her a full-fledged DJ in no time.
The thing most important to her right now is going for a spin with her buddies on her beloved car.
