Berryz Kobo

Berryz Kobo is a Japanese lolita group founded on January 14, 2004

[edit]Background

Berryz Kobo is a regular group under the HELLO! PROJECT label. KIDS program, from 27,958 people collected throughout Japan, 15 young girls from 8 to 12 years old were selected to be called Hello! The average age of the first members was only 10.75 years old at the time of its founding, and all of them were in compulsory education, so it adopted the policy of not fixing the members, but there has not been any change in the members so far; with the remaining members of Hello!Project kids officially announced to form another group, ℃-ute, on June 11th, 2005, the possibility of changing the members of Berryz Kobo has been greatly reduced. The eight starting members are Saki Shimizu (captain), Momoko Suginaga, Chinami Tokunaga, Suma Sudo, Masaya Natsuyaki, Maiha Ishimura (who left the group on October 2, 2005), Yurina Kumai, and Risako Sugaya. It has a high level of support within certain groups. Released five singles and an album within a year of its formation, with mediocre sales, and the highest weekly sales ranking for oricon singles was #7 (スッペシャル ジェネレーション, April 4-April 10, 2005?) After that, she was paired with the members of Good Morning. After that, she was paired with the members of Good Morning to form a new group called 4kids (with Mai Hagiwara, Arie Suzuki, Mima Sudo, Risako Sugaya), ZYX (with Mari Yaguchi, Umeda, Maimi Yajima, Ai Murakami, Saki Shimizu, Momoko Tsugutsura), and Aaa (with Rena Tanaka, Rena <Good Morning members)! (with Tanaka Rena<Good Morning members> Suzuki Arie Natsuyaki Ya) But these are all temporary combinations.

January 14, 2004, finally from 15kids, selected 8 as members of Berryz Kobo Founded with an average age of 10.8 years old at the beginning of the record for the youngest musical group in Japan. On March 3, 2004, they released their debut single あなたなしでは生きてゆけない, and made their official debut Berryz Kobo debuted at a time when HP was at a low ebb, and the graduation of the older members of Saotan led to a decline in popularity. At a young age, B-workers took up the cause of revitalizing the HP family with their HP predecessors, and they lived up to their name by releasing 10 singles and 2 albums in two years, maintaining an average speed of one in 2 months. They have participated in 57 promotional events such as handshake meetings, meet-and-greet sessions, and press conferences. The concerts (both solo and non-solo) were held 46 times.

* July 21, 2007, the group was released at the "Nakayoshi Fukushi Baru 2007" held at Sunshine City Fountain Square in Ikebukuro. It was also announced on the official Hello! Project website

The group performed in the anime "Guardian Sweethearts! (serialized in "Nakayoshi", the Chinese version of the manga is published by Changhong Publishing), the group consists of Momoko Tsuchinaga and Masaru Natsuyaki of Berryz Kobo, and Arie Suzuki of ℃-ute.
