C-Ute

In 2002, the Hi there! Task, a collective of feminine idol performers in Japan, kept an audition for tweens and pre-teen young ladies to become listed on the group. This culminated (after 30,000 roughly auditions) in the Hello! Task Children, a 15-gal strong band of ultra-saccharine performers and dancers. As the group in its bigger type performed well, there is a choice to break the group into smaller sized subgroups, like the strategy taken by Morning hours Musume (the adult superstars from the Hello! Task steady), who sometimes subdivided into smaller sized constituents. The “Children” were hence split up into (ultimately) two primary groupings, the Berryz Koubou and C-Ute, with seven associates in each. Both groupings still specific in ultra-saccharine, plastered-smile J-pop, however the smaller sized group format allowed the music to target at least relatively on the average person performers and their personalities, instead of on an over-all overflow of 13-calendar year old cuteness. Girls won the very best New Musician award on the Japan Record Honours in 2007. While their singles performed well over the graphs (frequently breaking the Oricon TOP easily), albums implemented quickly aswell, with three CDs within their first 2 yrs. They broke into TOP once again with 2008’s Like Escalation.
