Juice=Juice (ジュース=ジュース) is a ten-member Japanese pop idol girl group managed by Up-Front Promotion and part of Hello! Project. The group debuted in 2013, and after three indie singles they released their major debut single "Romance no Tochuu / Watashi ga Iu Mae ni Dakishimenakya ne (MEMORIAL EDIT) / Samidare Bijo ga Samidareru (MEMORIAL EDIT)" on September 11th. The single peaked at #2 on Oricon's weekly chart. That same year the group was nominated for the TBS Japan Record Award in the category of "Best Newcomer" and won a "New Artist" Award. On December 5th, they released their second single "Ijiwaru Shinaide Dakishimete yo / Hajimete wo Keikenchuu". It outperformed their prior release by selling 45,834 copies.
On April 8, 2015, Juice=Juice released their sixth single "Wonderful World / Ça va? Ça va?". It was their first single to reach #1 on the Oricon Weekly Chart, and the first to not be produced by Tsunku. All of their major singles and both of their albums have charted within the top 5 of the Oricon weekly charts. As of November 24, 2021, member Uemura Akari is the only original member left in the group, having been with the group for 8 years, about four and a half years longer than the next members added in 2017.
Their 17th major single, "Pride Bright / FUNKY FLUSHIN'", is released this week on July 12th.
