Introduce the good morning family.

1997, the rock band "Xie Luan Q" led by Tsunku cooperated with the TV program "ASAYAN" to hold an audition for female rock singers. After five months' selection, the 18-year-old female college life writer from Osaka finally won. Although the audition is over, the story has just begun. After the meeting, Tsunku recruited five girls who failed in the final and gave them a chance. As long as they reach the record of selling 50,000 singles in five days, they can regain their hopes of becoming artists. As a result, these five girls formed the women's group "Music in the Morning" (モーニング Niang. ), and recorded a limited number of 50,000 single "Love Species" for trial sale in five major cities across the country. Under extremely difficult circumstances, they finally completed the sales task of 50 thousand singles and officially debuted. These five girls are the original members of Morning Musume: Yuko Nakazawa, Ishiguro Aya, Iida Kaoru, Abe なつみ and Yasuo Fukuda.

1May, 998, Morning Music added employees for the first time, adding three people: Kei Yasuda, Mari Yaguchi and Ijing Hayashi. In September of the same year, Morning Musume released the third single "Hold me tight! It was so popular that it became Morning Musume's first number one single. At the moment when the results were announced, the members hugged and cried in the studio.

With the efforts of Tsunku, the music director and record producer, Morning Musume has gradually developed a variety of styles, which no longer gives people the impression of "a good girl next door". In June of the same year, captain Nakazawa Tomohide Yuko challenged the singing route and released a solo single "Girl's Room". In the same year 10, Ishiguro, Iida Kaoru and Mari Yaguchi became members, and another group, Dandelion, was established. This is the first sub-group of Morning Musume, which captured the record market with a mature and sexy music route.

1In April, 1999, Yasuo Fukuda, the youngest member with the strongest singing ability, announced his retirement. In addition, the sales of two consecutive singles are not satisfactory. In order to motivate the existing seven members, Tsunku announced the second recruitment plan. Three months later, at the age of thirteen, Makoto Goto passed the test of audition and cohabitation, and stood out from more than eleven thousand people. Tsunku originally planned to add two people to this recruitment plan, but in the end, only Goto Shinji was qualified and made good use of it. Coupled with Goto Maki's eye-catching appearance and confused but lovely personality, the "Goto effect" gradually fermented. Less than a month after joining Goto Maki, Morning Muse released his seventh single "LOVEマシーン". The lively and playful style, coupled with lyrics that are appropriate to life, topped the list in the first week of release, and then sold wildly, becoming the first single of Morning Muse with a sales volume of over one million, and also the song with the highest on-demand rate in KTV that year. Morning dance became the most popular "national idol" in Japan, and began to lead the topic and enhance popularity.

In the same year 1 1 month, members Kei Yasuda, Sayaka Ichii and Goto Maki formed another "Little Morning" (プッチモニ). This is the second branch of Morning Musume, and it and its mother "MORROW" The sales volume of the first single "ちょこっとLOVE" has exceeded one million, and it is not easy to achieve such success in the first trial. But at the same time, Shi Heiling, one of the first generation members, suddenly announced her graduation on the grounds of concentrating on her studies, which made fans stunned for a while.

In 2000 1 month, Morning Musume released the eighth single "Love のダンスサィト". It inherited the "LOVEマシーン". Morning Musume has a more stable position in Japanese pop music, with sales exceeding one million for three consecutive times.

When morning music came alive, Tsunku was not complacent, but pursued victory and trained more new people. In addition to the original morning dance and peace dance, there are also the sun and the moon (sun とシスコンムー) and the coconut girl group (coconut girl group). ), Hami melon memorial day (メロン memorial day) and other groups. The well-known "good morning family" (ハロー! This is how the prototype of プロジェクト) was established. In March of the same year, Tsunku dissolved all members of the Good Morning Family and divided them into three groups: yellow, blue and red. Three groups of recorded singles were released on the same day, and whirlwind ranked two or four charts and became a topic. Such a special plan of "Good Morning Family Shuffle" will be staged once a year, which will not only bring freshness to fans, but also boost the popularity of the younger generation of good morning families. Tsunku's successful business strategy makes "Good Morning Family" look like a training school for girl idols, which can compete with "Genese Family" with dozens of boy idols.

In May of the same year, Morning Musume increased its membership again; This time, four people were added in one breath, and Rika Ishikawa, Jize, Nozomi Tsuji and Intensive Care Unit became the fourth generation freshmen of the Dawn Club. However, Ijing Hayashi, who joined in the first recruitment, announced his graduation at this time, and the number of people dancing in the water in the morning was reduced to ten.

This year, Morning Musume began to try diversified development beyond music. In addition to the initial release of records and photo albums, I also began to try to host TV and radio programs and act as a spokesperson for commodity advertisements and public welfare activities. The movie "The Runner in Crisis" starring Morning Muse was released in May, and the video game software "Venus in Space" starring Morning Muse in September of the same year, the tenth single of Morning Dance "Me" Morning Musume not only promoted the live program, but also went to Sydney to cheer for the Japanese national team.

This "children's pop song" sold nearly one million copies, making Mini Good Morning the favorite idol group of Japanese children. The success of Mini Good Morning made Tsunku start to think about the importance of occupying the market outside teenagers, and also decided the highest guiding principle of Morning Musume and the future "young members" of Good Morning Family.

In March of the same year, 27-year-old captain Nakazawa Tomohide Yuko announced that he would graduate in May. He had worked in Morning Musume for nearly four years. Duan Liyang's graduation reduced the number of morning music to nine, which also announced the arrival of another era of morning music. On the other hand, Goto Maki, who has a high popularity index among members, also released a solo single after Nakazawa Tomohide Yuko, and the sales performance of the first single was not bad, which made Goto Maki dare to try more solo performances. For example, she participated in the performance of Sister Doctors (マ??) series, playing an orphan girl suffering from leukemia, and her superb acting skills were not lost to another member Abe who also participated in the series before.

In July of the same year, Morning Musume released the first 12 single ザピス! Different from the previous practice of "double lead singer" with Abe なつみ and Goto Maki, Henggu handed the lead singer's baton to Ishikawa Rixiang this time and arranged for her to stand in the center of nine members. The statement that "Rika Ishikawa has become a new generation protagonist in Music in the Morning" immediately permeated the headlines of major media dramas. In August of the same year, the audition "Ai ォーディション 12 1" with more than 20,000 applicants once again added four members to Morning Musume: Gao Qiaoai, Mimi Yano and Zhenwu Ogawa. In the same year 10, Morning Musume's first 13 single "Mr. Moonlight ~ ~ Love のビッグバンド ~" was released. This time, Ji Ze ひとみ acted as the lead singer, plus なつみ Abe and Makoto Goto, which was refreshing.

In 2002, Music in the Morning and Good Morning Family were full of complicated and changeable atmosphere. In June, Tsunku held an audition for children under 12 years old. ォーディション ",selected 15 pupils with an average age of less than 9 years old to inject new blood into the good morning family. Although the participation of 15 primary school students does not directly affect the existing members of Musume in the morning, various rumors about "so-and-so members are about to leave school" and "Musume is about to have a big blood transfusion in the morning" are beginning to be rampant. On July 3rd1day, an event called "July 3rd1day earthquake" happened, which is the last thing fans want to see. The company announced a "ハロー" without warning! The "Large-scale Structural Reform" project will gradually reorganize all institutions under the Good Morning Family on a large scale in half a year. Among them, since LOVEマシーン, Makoto Goto, who has been regarded as a backbone member of Morning Musume, was announced by the firm on September 23rd without being informed in advance. Another member, Kei Yasuda, also announced that she will graduate from the Morning Conservatory of Music next spring. The next day, Goto Maki shed tears at the press conference; This is reserved for Chen Mo, but also helpless.
