Hello! Project Kids

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello! Project Kids (ハロー！プロジェクト・キッズ, Harō! Purojekuto Kizzu^?) is a Japanese music group of fifteen young girls chosen out of 27,958 applicants in 2002. The group was formed as a part of the Hello! Project. The group has so far published a number of records under both group names and the Hello! Project Kids title.

Some of them were selected for members of ZYX and Aa! in 2003, but which are both short-lived groups and virtually dormant now. Hello! Project Kids is currently organized into two groups—Berryz Kobo and °C-ute . Buono! is also a newly formed unit consisting of three Hello! Project Kids.
