MeseMoa.

MeseMoa. (formerly Musumen.) is an independent self-managed nine-member Japanese idol group. They began as a dance cover collaboration unit with a focus on Morning Musume's songs, later producing their own music. In March 2013, they released their first original song "War Cry~What's Wrong with Pretending to Be an Idol~". Since then, they have released 9 singles and 4 albums. On February 3, 2017 the group officially renamed from Musumen. to MeseMoa..

Background

The group was formed in 2012 by Shirofuku aiming to cover Morning Musume's dance "Ren'ai Hunter" per request from his favorite Morning Musume member Kanon Suzuki. The original 11 members - Shirofuku, Aoi, Kimagure Prince, Nibansenji, Nokkuso, Zeararu., Forgeru, Nozakibento, Nichan, K'suke and Asupara - adopted the name "morning musumen." after a fan suggested it in comments on their Nico Nico Douga video. After their first success, the group uploaded a dance cover of Morning Musume's "Wakuteka Take a Chance," the last video for K'suke as a member, although he continues to collaborate with MeseMoa. members outside of their idol activities. Asupara left shortly after the release of the group's first original single, which was published under the shortened version of the group name, Musumen. (むすめん。). Upon the graduation of orange member Zeararu. in 2017, they renamed to MeseMoa.. After leaving the group, Zeararu., K'suke, and Asupara continue to work with MeseMoa. behind the scenes.
