Hello! Project Kids
Information
Hello! Project Kids (ハロー！プロジェクト・キッズ), sometimes referred to as H!P Kids, is a group of 15 young girls chosen out of 27,958 applicants. The results for this audition were announced in the 2002.06.30 episode of Hello! Morning. The Hello! Project Kids support Hello! Project in various ways, such as dancing at concerts. A few of the kids were in short lived groups led by individual Morning Musume members. See ZYX and Aa!.
In early 2004, eight of the girls were placed into a new group called Berryz Koubou. The remaining seven girls were then referred to as Hello! Project Kids, but on 11 June 2005 they formed a new group named °C-ute.
All the Hello! Project Kids participated in the 2004 shuffle unit H.P. All Stars.
Arihara Kanna, a former Hello! Pro Egg, is often mistaken for a Hello! Project kid, but she is not part of them. She joined as a Hello! Pro Egg in 2004 and was placed into °C-ute at the beginning of 2006.
