Up Up Girls is a Japanese female idol group. The group was formerly named Up-Front Girls.
In 2004, Hello! Project held a nationwide audition titled "Hello Pro Egg Audition 2004". Out of over 10,000 applicants, 31 girls were successful. Six out of seven members were part of that generation, while Sato Ayano joined the trainee group in 2009. During the last concert of 2010, Hello! Project announced a change in their trainee group. As part of this change, many older members completed their training, but were not added into the major groups within Hello! Project. Saho Akari was the last to complete her training. Up Up Girls originally consisted of six girls, later growing to seven with the late addition of Saho Akari. Their first event was held on May 1st of 2011.
From their formation to late 2012, all of their releases were under Up-Front Works until they were signed by T-Palette Records. Their first seven singles and the first album was released by Up-Front Works. They were transferred to Up-Front Create. The group is currently jointly managed by YU-M Entertainment and Up-Front Group. During 2015, Up-Front Group created a partnership with YU-M, a new agency. YU-M is their primary management while Up-Front Create is a producer of their releases.
Under YU-M, the group reached their dream of performing at Nippon Budokan. The company was able to afford the rental cost, but ran out of money for outfits and decorations. This resulted in the crowdfunding of over 12,000,000 JYP. The crowdfunding was successful, but they did not reach their goal of selling out the tickets and only filled a little over 4000 of Budokan's 14,000+ capacity.
There is no schedule or ticket right now.
