Michiyo
Heike Michiyo was the winner of an audition Tsunku held on the TV show ASAYAN to find a new female vocalist for his band Sharan Q in 1997. Her first single, GET, was chosen as the song all the girls had to sing in the final round of the audition. Tsunku's plans were diverted, however, and he ended up giving more attention to five other girls, whom he made into the group Morning Musume. Even though Heike won the audition, she never became as famous as the five "losers".
She hosted a reality/infotainment show Idol wo Sagase along with Nakazawa Yuko.
Heike became a solo artist in Tsunku's Hello! Project. She left Hello! Project in 2002, later releasing two albums on her own. She is now known as just Michiyo (みちよ).
In March of 2007, Heike announced on her blog that she was three months pregnant and has married the father of her child.
