Information
"Tomoiki Ki wo Uetai" was created in 2005 initially with Maeda Yuuka, Ohse Kaede, Arihara Kanna, Furukawa Konatsu, and Noto Arisa. They were formed to promote environmental awareness in Japan. In 2006, Arihara Kanna had quickly graduated to °C-ute and Mori Saki had taken her place and those 5 went to release their only single, "Minna no Ki" only sold at events. During their activity, Ohse Kaede had left to pursue activites with THE Possible and Yutoku Ayumi had took her spot. When Ayumi left, Saho Akari then took her spot.
After being inactive 2 years, they returned but with many new members and were split into 4 sub-units Team Ohana-Batakettai!! (Furukawa Konatsu, Sengoku Minami, Kaneko Rie, and Katsuta Rina), Team Midories (Saho Akari, Kikkawa Yuu, Sato Ayano, and Arai Manami), Team Catch the Nature (Kitahara Sayaka, Okai Asuna, Sainen Mia, and Sano Kaori), and Team Genki Mori Ranger (Maeda Irori, Mori Saki, and Fukumura Mizuki). Since then the group has become inactive.
