Taiyou and Ciscomoon (2000)

Taiyo to Ciscomoon (太陽とシスコムーン) (Taiyou to Ciscomoon or Taiyo to Cisco Moon), later known as T&C Bomber (T&Cボンバー), was a Hello! Project group from 1999 to 2000.

History

Taiyo to Ciscomoon debuted in April 1999. Its four members (Inaba Atsuko, RuRu, Shinoda Miho, and Kominato Miwa) were chosen on the TV show ASAYAN in their San Francisco auditions. They released six singles and an album that year. Kominato left the group before their sixth single, but rejoined shortly afterwards.

In 2000, the group changed their name to T&C Bomber and released two more singles and another album. The group was disbanded in October of 2000 after their final performance in Osaka. Since their breakup, Inaba Atsuko has remained a part of Hello! Project.

Some of Taiyo to Ciscomoon's singles have been performed in Hello! Project concerts, usually by Inaba Atsuko and other singers. Some of their songs have also been performed by other H!P artists as coupling songs.

Eight years later in 2008, the group came back together in order to celebrate their ten year anniversary and the release of their best of album. The only member to not attend was RuRu for unknown reasons but has been psoting in the group's blog.

Members

Training in America

Taiyo to Ciscomoon was a unique group because of the style of their music. Their songs were either dance songs full of rhythm or jazz/soul inspired songs full of heavy vocals. However, they were also unique in how they were trained: They were each sent to four different U.S. cities, famous for their unique styles of music and singers they have produced, to work on their vocals and dance. For three weeks from February to March 1999, ASAYAN covered the members' journeys [1]. Tsunku sent them on this journey since he believed that each member had yet to improve before allowing them to record.

  • Inaba was sent to Atlanta, Georgia (famous for gospel and soul, where Babyface and Whitney Houston have trained).
  • Kominato was sent to Detroit, Michigan (famous for Motown, where the Jackson 5 and Stevie Wonder started out).
  • Shinoda was sent to Memphis, Tennessee (famous for southern blues music, and the music of rock icon Elvis Presley).
  • RuRu was sent to Chicago, Illinois (famous for "Chicago Blues" and songs with great rhythm).
