What is Morning Musume?

Morning Musume is a popular Japanese idol group.

How did Morning Musume get started?

In 1997, Asayan held an audition for a new female rock vocalist who would be produced by Sharan Q. Michiyo Heike was the winner of the contest. But five girls were selected to join an all-girl group who would also be produced by Tsunku. These members were Yuko Nakazawa, Natsumi Abe, Kaori Iida, Aya Ishiguro and Asuka Fukuda. This was the first formation of Morning Musume.
