Ongoing Activities
On the group twitter, members will answer weekly questions called "Weekly Happy." These answers are then collected and gathered at the end of the week in a "Weekly Happy Roundup" on the group tumblr blog.
"PuraChallenge" is an ongoing activity in which a member will be challenged to showcase her talents and challenge another member to do the same.
The most recent activity is "PuraSinging." In this, a 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 to go along with the release's theme, such as holiday messages or love confessions.
