Minimoni was a subgroup of Morning Musume which was part of the Hello! Project belong. Yaguchi Mari, a singer from Morning Musume , had the idea to found it . The first line-up consisted of Yaguchi Mari, Tsuji Nozomi, Kago Ai (all three members of Morning Musume ) and Mika Todd ( Coconut Musume ).
Minimoni was considered a children's band that only performed songs for the younger children.
In 2003 Yaguchi Mari left the group, Takahashi Ai ( Morning Musume ) joined them and Mika Todd became the band leader. This also led to a rule change, because initially the group members were only allowed to be a maximum of 150 cm tall. But since Takahashi Ai was 153 cm tall, the maximum size was raised a little.
In May 2004 Mika Todd left the group to study music in Los Angeles and Kago Ai founded the group W with Tsuji Nozomi . Minimoni have been officially dissolved since then .
The internet phenomenon Dramatic Chipmunk has its origins in Minimoni.
