Minimoni

Minimoni (ミニモニ。) was a subgroup of the Japanese idol pop girl group Morning Musume, and a later a group within Hello! Project. In 2009 Minimoni was revived as Shin Minimoni (translating to New Minimoni) and remained active until 2011.

Original Minimoni (2000-2004)

The group was founded in late 2000 by Morning Musume member Mari Yaguchi. Together with Morning Musume's songwriter and producer, Tsunku, she selected two new members, Ai Kago and Nozomi Tsuji and the trio began performing in concerts as Minimoni. American-born Mika Todd from the band Coconuts Musume was later added to the group. Their debut single, "Minimoni Jankenpyon!," was a #1 hit.

The quartet released several singles in 2001 and 2002, with most of these tracks compiled on their first album Minimoni Song Daihyakka Ikkan. Simultaneous to their single releases, the band became the subject of a series of short cartoons, Minimoni Yaru no da Pyon!, voicing their own characters. They also contributed their voices to a string of movies based on the Hamtaro cartoon series, which featured a hamster version of Minimoni known as Minihams. The group released three singles under this name.
