The group was formed in 1993 and got the name from the pharase Melody Heart (メロディハート). Their first single, Sunao ni Ienai ~Motto Soba ni Itai Kedo~, was released in 1993 and was performed everywhere, including school festivals, with a large turnout. The first single was only released under Starland label and rest was released under Pony Canyon. The group also became regulars on variety and music shows like Idol Station and M-STAGE. They also appeared in many commercials and each member would go on to act in various doramas.
The group sadly broke up in 1997 after their last Oh My Melody fanclub event for the release of Boom Boom My Heart (RADIO MIX). Wakasugi would become a talent and a reporter for the show Doubutsu Kisou Tengai before retiring from show business and marrying years later.
