What is the Japanese term for the CGDCT tag/genre?


What is the genre or tag in Japanese terms for CGDCT? (Cute Girls Doing Cute
Things for those that are not aware)




I'm not aware of the Japanese having a word for this.

It's overlapping a fair bit with `healing` or in Japanese Iyashikei `癒し系 (
いやしけい )`.  
But it is not the same thing.

Not sure about today, but years ago when `cute girls doing cute things` was
first used (around 2008, as far as I remember), it wasn't really to categorize
anime. It was to make fun of them. For example "does this anime have a story
or is it just cute girls doing cute things?".

In that sense the origin was a lot closer to healing than what the literal
meaning of the phrase describes.
