Ongoing Activities[]
On the group twitter, members will answer weekly questions called "Weekly Happy." These answers are then collected and gathered in a "Weekly Happy Roundup" on the group tumblr blog.
☆ Platinum Happy ☆ Platinum de Somete! -Japanese Version-
"PuraChallenge" is an ongoing activity in which a member will be challenged to showcase her talents and challenge another member to do the same.
"PuraSinging" is another ongoing activity for the group, in which one member will "produce" another member by selecting a song for her to cover solo.
Along with most of their main musical releases, they have traditionally released video messages or PVs to go along with the release's theme, such as holiday messages or love confessions.
Starting from spring 2017, they have also been doing "PuraStreaming" via SHOWROOM. These include solo streams by members doing talk shows or showing off talents, as well as karaoke specials with multiple members.
