, referred to in Japanese as Chikipa (チキパ), was a Japanese girl group established by Avex Trax in 2011.

History

Established in 2012, Cheeky Parade rapidly gained recognition as a prominent Japanese idol ensemble. Their musical approach combines J-pop with the dynamic energy of its nine members. The group's name symbolizes their daring persona and lively stage presence. Affiliated with Avex’s idol division "iDOL Street," they made their debut in January 2013 with "BUNBUN NINE9'," which achieved the #4 spot on the Oricon weekly rankings. Following singles such as "C.P.U !?" and "Mugendai Shoujo" also secured positions within the top five. Cheeky Parade became the first Japanese performers to appear at the CBGB Music & Film Festival.

In October 2014, they hosted a special live event in New York City's Times Square, footage of which was incorporated into the music video for "CANDY POP GALAXY BOMB!!," featuring scenes from their participation at New York Comic Con.

On 28 June 2016, members Marin Yamamoto and Mariya Suzuki commenced a two-year break to pursue music and dance studies abroad in Los Angeles alongside GEM member Maaya Takeda.

In April 2017, Cheeky Parade showcased a remix of "Shout along!" at SXSW 2017 through NTT Japan Factory’s "cyber teleportation" technology, streamed on iDOL Street’s official YouTube channel.

On 19 May 2017, Seran Mizorogi and Momoka Kodakari declared their departure from the group; their final appearance took place on 9 June 2017.

Back in January 2015, Asami Watanabe, Seran Mizorogi, and Hina Nagai formed the subunit NERFY GUINER BIEBER, serving as an opening act for Cheeky Parade. After Mizorogi left in 2017, Rino Shimazaki joined this subunit under the name Motherky.

Cheeky Parade announced their disbandment on 12 April 2018, effective from 31 July 2018. Their concluding concert featured seven members, including the return of Yamamoto and Suzuki from their hiatus.
