Kei Yasuda (保田圭) born in Chiba Prefecture, Japan, on December 6, 1980, is a former member and co-leader of J-pop group Morning Musume. Kei, along with Mari Yaguchi and Sayaka Ichii, were the second generation of singers to be recruited into Morning Musume.
After the second generation joined, Morning Musume went on to produce 1 album and 3 more singles until Asuka Fukuda decided to graduate to further pursue her studies. Kei was given almost all of Asuka’s lines in future performances of these early songs. She had also collaborated with other Morning Musume members in special projects during these early days. One of the more notable ones was when she co-wrote and co-sang with Natsumi Abe the song “Sanpo” for a radio contest. It became wildly popular and a petition was circulated to make it an official single, though that never did happen.
Kei and Sayaka sang a particularly catchy duet known as “Otome no Shinrigaku” (Girl’s Psychology) for Morning Musume’s second album. In response to the popularity, Tsunku decided to lump them together with 3rd gen. Maki Goto to create Morning Musume subgroup Pucchimoni in 2001. Their first single, “Chokotto Love”, has sold over a million copies since its release date.
After Sayaka graduated from Morning Musume and Petitmoni, fourth generation Hitomi Yoshizawa was placed into the subgroup. Kei had taken on the role of leader of Petitmoni and the group continued to produce three singles and an album.
