Hangry & Angry

HANGRY & ANGRY is a Japanese pop group, produced by Hello! Project. The unit is made up of former Morning Musume fourth generation members Ishikawa Rika and Yoshizawa Hitomi. Though the unit's name was originally written "HANGRY&ANGRY", it is now usually stylized as "hANGRY&ANGRY".

2008
HANGRY & ANGRY is a unit made up of former Morning Musume fourth generation members Ishikawa Rika and Yoshizawa Hitomi. The duo was created to promote h.Naoto's "HANGRY & ANGRY" fashion line. When performing or making appearances, the members sport clothes from the brand and take on the roles of the brand's mascot characters. They are said to have arrived on earth from the H44 Star Nebula in their time machine called "LOVE MACHINE" in order to save the world from global warming.

Although both Yoshizawa and Ishikawa are long-time members of Hello! Project, this group is not part of the H!P family, although it still falls under the Up-Front Works umbrella. Shortly after the announcement of the group's formation, it was announced that there would be a mass-graduation of all the members of Elder Club (which included both Yoshizawa and Ishikawa). This graduation did not interfere with the group.

On November 22nd, 2008, The new Hangry & Angry store opened.

On November 19th, 2008, They released a mini-album titled Kill Me Kiss Me; the single of the same name was also released on their MySpace page. The mini-album was released under the Up-Front Works label. It was released simultaneously in Japan and in the U.S. (available in the U.S. exclusively by JapanFiles), as well as in Korea and Taiwan. This is the first time any members of Hello! Project have officially released anything outside of Asia.

On December 16, 2008, it was announced that HANGRY & ANGRY would be making their U.S. premiere at Sakura-Con 2009 from April 10 to April 12, 2009, at the Washington Convention Center in Seattle. There will be a live performance as well as an autograph and a Q&A session.

2009
In April, Hangry & Angry made their overseas debut at SakuraCon performing as the headline act. From April 10 to April 12, 2009, at the Washington Convention Center in Seattle. They will be touring Europe in April, their first overseas tour.

On November 11, 2009, They released their first full-length album, called Sadistic Dance.

2011
On May 7, 2011, It was announced that Hangry & Angry will appear in this year’s Japan Expo 2011 in Paris. The news was revealed on the site of the expo. After the (so far unconfirmed) announcement about them going to Singapore at the end of July I didn’t expect to hear about them so soon since the group has been inactive for quite some time, and even though that may be the case I am glad to see that the group will go to the same event that Momusu attended last year since fans from Paris can enjoy yet another UFA group.
