While the version, like the first EP, was able to reach the highest position in the iTunes hip-hop and rap charts. Towards the end of the year, she released a collaborative EP called Girlz on December 17th . Here she collaborated with the Japanese singer Ayuse Kozue and recorded two new tracks with her; in addition, both recorded a further track solo each time, with the selection of these two further songs Tanaka by Ayuse covered one track and vice versa. Finally, in 2014, she was finally recognized by iTunes Japan as New Artist 2014 ( German new artist 2014).
