Tanpopo (タンポポ, Dandelion) was a Morning Musume subgroup.
Contents
History
Tanpopo was formed in November of 1998 as the first Morning Musume subgroup and featured Iida Kaori, Ishiguro Aya, and Yaguchi Mari. Initially, Tanpopo had a more mature feel to their early songs.
The group released four singles and an album before Ishiguro left Hello! Project in the fall of 1999. Iida and Yaguchi continued to perform songs as a duo, until Ishikawa Rika and Kago Ai were added to the group in the summer of 2000, making Tanpopo a group of four. This line-up released three singles and a best album that featured the members of the first and second generations.
In 2002, the Morning Musume subgroups were shuffled when the fifth generation members joined. Iida, Yaguchi, and Kago were taken out of the group, so Ishikawa was joined by Konno Asami, Niigaki Risa, and Melon Kinenbi's Shibata Ayumi. This final line-up only released one single, and suddenly became inactive. It is unknown whether Tanpopo will come back or not.
