Name the genre of music commonly heard in the videos and name the franchise that you see in these videos a lot more.
Bubblegum music, a music genre known for its very catchy and especially upbeat approach to garage band rock (such examples of artists include 1910 Fruitgum Company, The Monkees, The Hardy Boys, and my personal favorite, Ohio Express), and Sailor Moon, an anime series that was based on the manga from 1992.
