While there is a range of music and styles covered by the Hello! Project artists, all remain more-or-less firmly in the bubblegum pop category. [[Morning Musume]] is a good starting point, but each artist and group offers their own style.

<br /> The '''Shuffle Units''' are temporary groups usually formed during the summer. The original concept was to shuffle all the members from Hello! Project to form three new groups who would then release three singles at the same time to see which group would sell the most. This idea was probably dropped due to low sales during 2003 when all songs were released on one single. Since then the shuffle units have become more of an annual tradition rather than a contest. In 2004 all members of the Hello! Project formed a single unit, [[Hello! Project All Stars]] and in 2005 only eleven members were shuffled between three groups. Since 2006 there have not been any new shuffle units.

As for the '''Uncertain''' category, it depends of the group. [[Coconuts Musume]] and [[Country Musume]] consist of only one member each ([[Kimura Ayaka|Ayaka]] and [[Satoda Mai]], respectively) and need more members to continue functioning as a group. [[Minimoni]] and [[Petitmoni]] are "on hiatus" which means they are on a permanent hold until Tsunku decides to revive them. The status of [[GAM]] is unknown, due to [[Fujimoto Miki]]'s scandal in May 2007.

Revision as of 03:49, 28 March 2009

Hello! Project (ハロー！プロジェクト), often shortened to H!P, is the name for a collection of female groups and artists all produced by Tsunku, a member of Sharam Q. Morning Musume is the main group of Hello! Project, with a number of Morning Musume ex-members forming the majority of the solo artists in H!P. Besides the core groups and solo artists that form H!P's line-up, various special units are formed by mixing these groups and solo artists. Shuffle units, usually formed by shuffling all the H!P members into three temporary units, were formed once a year but since 2006 the idea has been dropped.

The group is managed by the Up-Front Agency. Almost all Hello! Project artists' recordings are published by Up-Front Works on either the zetima, PICCOLO TOWN or hachama record labels. But Iida Kaori's Mediterranean styled works are released under the Chichukai label and Maeda Yuki's under the Rice Music label. Country Musume's older work was released on the Potato Label, Coconuts Musume's older works were originally released on the Sony record label, Sheki-Dol's first singles were released on SPREE RECORDS and Heike Michiyo's older works on Warner Music Japan, but they eventually all moved to zetima.

While there is a range of music and styles covered by the Hello! Project artists, all remain more-or-less firmly in the bubblegum pop category. Morning Musume is a good starting point, but each artist and group offers their own style.

On October 18, 2008, it was announced that all of Elder Club will be graduating on March 31, 2009.[1]

One-Shot Units

 :* Gomattou

Uncertain

 :* Country Musume

The Shuffle Units are temporary groups usually formed during the summer. The original concept was to shuffle all the members from Hello! Project to form three new groups who would then release three singles at the same time to see which group would sell the most. This idea was probably dropped due to low sales during 2003 when all songs were released on one single. Since then the shuffle units have become more of an annual tradition rather than a contest. In 2004 all members of the Hello! Project formed a single unit, H.P. All Stars and in 2005 only eleven members were shuffled between three groups. Since 2006 there have not been any new shuffle units.

The One-Shot Units only released one or two singles and were never mentioned again, so it can be assumed they're finished.

As for the Uncertain category, it depends of the group. Country Musume consists of only one member (Satoda Mai) and needs more members to continue functioning as a group. Minimoni and Petitmoni are "on hiatus" which means they are on a permanent hold until Tsunku decides to revive them. The status of GAM is unknown, due to Matsuura Aya and Fujimoto Miki continuing their solo works after Fujimoto's scandal in May 2007.
