Coconuts Musume (ココナッツ娘。) is a Hello! Project group made up of members from Hawaii.


History

Coconuts Musume were recruited by Hello! Project mastermind Tsunku after his former bandmate Makoto spotted them performing at a restaurant in Waikiki and they made their debut on ASAYAN in June 1999. The group originally consisted of five members: Ayaka Kimura, Chelsea Ching, April Barbaran, Danielle Delaunay, and Mika Todd.

After releasing two singles, Chelsea and April left the group and a new member, Lehua Sandbo, was added in January 2000. After another two singles, Danielle left the group in April 2001 and the remaining trio released what would turn out to be their last single in August 2001.

Auditions for a new member were advertised and due to take place at various locations around Hawaii during January 2002. However these auditions were either canceled or unsuccessful and instead of adding a new member the group became a duo when Lehua left in February 2002.

Coconuts Musume did not release any more singles, but they continued to perform at concerts and hosted their own radio show from 2001 to 2004 called KISS THE COCONUTS!. The group made its final performance in Spring 2004 during Morning Musume Concert Tour 2004 Haru The Best of Japan, when Mika left Japan and the Hello! Project to study in America. With Mika gone, Coconuts Musume is now just one member, Ayaka, and she continues to be introduced as "Coconuts Musume Ayaka".
