| − | == History ==
| |
| − | In 1997, [[Sharam Q]] held a [[Hello! Project on ASAYAN|series of auditions]] on [[ASAYAN]] to find a female vocalist. The number of people who auditioned were eventually whittled down to 11, and [[Heike Michiyo]] was chosen as the winner. The five runners up were challenged by [[Tsunku]] to form a group and release a single, with the incentive that if they could sell 50,000 records in five days they would receive a record deal. Given the name '''Morning Musume''', they recorded [[Ai no Tane]] and successfully completed his challenge.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | After releasing their first official single, [[Morning Coffee]], another audition was held and three more members were added to the group. This began a series of additions and '[[Graduation|graduations]]' which have seen members come and go, some remaining in [[Hello! Project]] as solo artists or in other units, and some retiring from the music business. In past years, members also took part in [[:Category:Morning Musume Subgroups|subgroups]], such as [[Morning Musume Sakuragumi|Sakuragumi]] and [[Morning Musume Otomegumi|Otomegumi]]; [[Tanpopo]], [[Petitmoni]], and [[Minimoni]], which released their own singles and albums.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In April 2000, the group began hosting a television variety show called [[Hello! Morning]] which further increased its popularity. They also star in a number of their own musicals, which are usually done also every year in the summertime. A massive amount of Morning Musume merchandise has been released such as calendars, [[Photobook|photobooks]], posters, etc. They have even starred in their own Playstation 2 game called [[Space Venus]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The group has gone through many changes in recent years with the graduation of the long-time leader and last remaining original member [[Iida Kaori]] in January 2005, the sudden resignation of then-leader [[Yaguchi Mari]] on April 14, 2005, and the addition of [[Kusumi Koharu]] and graduation of [[Ishikawa Rika]] in May 2005.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 2006 was no different, with the graduations of [[Konno Asami]] on July 23, 2006 and [[Ogawa Makoto]] on August 27, 2006, as well as the addition of [[Mitsui Aika]] on December 10, 2006.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | On March 15th, 2007, Tsunku [http://www.helloproject.com/newslist/shinmember_0703151946.html announced] that [[Junjun]] and [[Linlin]], two "exchange students" from China, will join as members of the 8th generation. Leader [[Yoshizawa Hitomi]] graduated from Morning Musume on May 6th, 2007, and [[Fujimoto Miki]] became the new leader with [[Takahashi Ai]] the sub-leader. However, on June 1st, 2007, [http://www.nikkansports.com/entertainment/f-et-tp0-20070601-207238.html it was reported] that [[Fujimoto Miki]] had left Morning Musume on her own accord, and that [[Takahashi Ai]] became the leader and [[Niigaki Risa]] took Takahashi's place as sub-leader. Takahashi Ai and Niigaki Risa have now become the longest members to stay in Morning Musume.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | On October 24, 2007, an [[Morning Musume All Singles Complete ~10th Anniversary~|album]] containing all 34 singles of the group to date was released followed by a DVD Collection of Promotional Videos.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Their 35th single, [[Mikan]], was released on November 21, 2007. It became, and remains, the group's worst-selling single, with a total of fewer than 40,000 copies sold.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Morning Musume, along with Berryz Koubou and °C-ute, perfomed at NHK network's 58th [[Kouhaku Uta Gassen]] on New Year's. It is the most-watched show each year in Japan. It is their tenth appearance on the show.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The girls appeared live at Anime Expo in Los Angeles in July of 2009, performing in the US for the very first time (excluding their fanclub tours in Hawaii). They were there as Guests of Honour and their song [[3, 2, 1 Breakin' Out!|3,2,1, BREAKIN' OUT!]] was used as the convention's theme song. On August 12, 2009 they released their Commemorative 40th single, [[Nanchatte Renai]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The group is particularly well-known for its ever fluctuating line-up, with "graduations" and auditions occurring nearly each year. 2008 was the only year so far in which no line-up changes occurred and the 9 member line-up had been the longest unchanging line-up so far going over 2 years with no graduations or new members. This was to give the Japanese fans a chance to recognize the names and faces of the current Morning Musume members (past street surveys had suggested that much of the Japanese population could not list a single member in the group, when in earlier years Morning Musume and all of its members had become household names). Kusumi Koharu's graduation from Hello! Project on December 6, 2009 ended the tenure of Morning Musume's most stable line-up. Their single [[Kimagure Princess]], released on October 28, was her last.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 2010 will see the release of the group's 42nd single, [[Onna ga Medatte Naze Ikenai]]. It will be their first single released as an 8-member group since 2006's [[Aruiteru]]. This will also be both Takahashi and Niigaki's 30th single with the group.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | On the 8th of August 2010 during the final performance of the H!P Summer concert, Tsunku made a surprise announcement that 6th gen member [[Kamei Eri]] and 8th gen Chinese members [[Junjun]] & [[Linlin]] will graduate from the group at the end of the Autumn concert tour. It was revealed that Eri is to leave to recover from a skin condition and Junjun and Linlin are to return to China and pursue careers in their home country. On the same day it was also announced that auditions would be held to find the 9th generation members to join the group. These girls are to be aged 10 to 17. It was not revealed how many girls would be added to the group.
