Biography

In 2001, three 11-12 year old girls formed a group together in their hometown of Hiroshima. In 2002, they released two limited edition singles only in Hiroshima, called Omajinai Perori and Kareshi Boshuuchuu. All three members moved to Tokyo in 2003 and became produced by capsule's Nakata Yasutaka. Between the years of 2003 and 2004, they produced Sweet Donuts, Monochrome Effect, and Vitamin Drop under the indies label "BEE-HIVE RECORDS". During that time, they performed to a one-man live three times. Because the girls were so energetic, fans acquired an appreciation for them. On September 21, 2005, Nakata used their techno sound to become a cute technopop-style group in the near future for their major debut.
