Japan (1997 – present)

Morning Musume (モーニング娘。) is a Japanese all female j-pop group and the core group under the more expansive Hello! Project (H!P for short). Formed in 1997 when the producer of the band, Tsunku, challenged the 5 runner-ups of a TV competition, where they competed to become the lead singer of Sharan Q, to sell 50,000 copies of their demo single “Ai no Tane” in 5 days. They were successful and the reward was to be fully produced as their own act by producer Tsunku.

In a year, their popularity had surpassed the winner of the original competition (Michiyo Heike); in three they had surpassed the popularity of Sharan Q, who had broken up to become full time producers. The reach of MM and H!P extends to music, TV, radio, film, modeling, commercials, their own PS2 and GBA games, as well as their own indoor futsal and kickball teams, though their popularity has been waning in recent years. They also quickly became, and still remain, one of Japan’s top all girl groups with a number of hit records and albums. They have sold over 17,746,446 copies in Japan alone. (dated figure)

The members of Morning Musume change often. Every year or two, auditions are held to add new members. The last audition held for the group was in 2010. Morning Musume’s current line-up has 9 members, none of which are the original five or the three generations that followed. Risa Niigaki is the current leader of Morning Musume and Hello! Project.
