In March of [[wiki/#2000|2000]], [[Tsunku]] divided the members of the then-16-member [[Hello! Project]] into three groups, which he called "shuffle units." Tsunku proposed a challenge to each group: they would each release a single on the same day and compete to see who could sell the most copies. It was a success, with [[Akagumi 4]] winning the challenge with 507,850 singles sold. Since then, the shuffles have been an annual event usually occuring in the summer (the exception being [[H.P. All Stars]] in winter 2004) and have continued to mix up the ever-growing population of Hello! Project into new and interesting group combinations.

Tsunku proposed a challenge to each group: they would each release a single on the same day and compete to see who could sell the most copies. It was a success, with Akagumi 4 winning the challenge. The shuffle unit tradition continued for six more years but appears to have been abandoned after 2006. Between 2004 and 2006 the shuffle unit songs were released on maxi singles rather than on individual singles, thus eliminating the competition aspect. Aside from the original units and the 2004 super group, shuffle units were active during the summer. In December 2008 a CD/DVD titled ''[[Hello! Project Shuffle Units Mega Best]]'' was released.


In [[wiki/#2003|2003]], perhaps because of flagging sales, all three shuffle unit singles were released on one CD instead of three. In late [[wiki/#2004|2004]], to celebrate Hello! Project's seventh anniversary, its members weren't split up but were instead combined into one super group. [[wiki/#2005|2005]] saw the return of three separate shuffle groups, but rather than drawing from all of Hello! Project, only 11 members were selected to participate.

The term "shuffle unit" (シャッフルユニット) comes from the idea of "shuffling" the girls around from one group to another. Shuffle units are temporary groups, usually releasing only one single before leaving the spotlight. The creation and destruction of these groups has become a yearly event for [[Hello! Project]]. While it looked like this would continue for some time, 2006 did not see any shuffle units.

Shuffle units may disappear relatively quickly after being formed, but many of their songs live on long after their respective group is gone. Former shuffle unit songs continue to be performed at concerts or [[wiki/#Cover list|covered]] on albums by various [[Hello!

In March of 2000, Tsunku divided the 16 members of the Hello! Project into three groups, which he called "shuffle units." Tsunku proposed a challenge to each group: they would each release a single on the same day and compete to see who could sell the most copies. It was a success, with Akagumi 4 winning the challenge. The shuffle unit tradition continued for six more years but appears to have been abandoned after 2006. Between 2004 and 2006 the shuffle unit songs were released on maxi singles rather than on individual singles, thus eliminating the competition aspect. Aside from the original units and the 2004 super group, shuffle units were active during the summer. In December 2008 a CD/DVD titled Hello! Project Shuffle Units Mega Best was released.
