℃-ute

℃-ute is an all-female Japanese pop group within Hello! Project. The character "℃" (degree Celsius) is substituted for "C" in notation for the purpose of expressing ardor—the hyphen does not have any meaning in particular. The proper pronunciation for this group in Japanese is kyūto (キュート) with pitch accents on both "ū" and "o". Their combined CD and DVD sales exceed 1 million copies in Japan alone.

℃-ute's highest selling single is "Arigatou ~Mugen no Yell~ / Arashi wo Okosunda Exciting Fight!" with 73,018 copies sold and their lowest selling single is "Sekaiichi HAPPY na Onna no Ko" with 19,830 copies sold.

2002–2004: Hello! Project Kids
On June 30, 2002, all members of ℃-ute were initially selected during the audition for Hello! Project Kids. Later in the same year, Suzuki Airi and Hagiwara Mai became members of 4KIDS, and appeared in the Minimoni the Movie Okashi na Daibouken!. A year later, some of the members were placed in bands led by Morning Musume members: Suzuki was selected to be in Aa!, while Umeda Erika, Yajima Maimi, and Murakami Megumi were in ZYX. Both units were short-lived, and their activity stopped when half of the Hello! Project Kids were chosen to form Berryz Koubou in January 2004. The kids passed over would later form ℃-ute.

2005
In 2004, half of Hello! Project Kids were chosen to form Berryz Koubou, which was formed with the intention of rotating the kids throughout the unit. However the idea was eventually dropped. The remaining girls formed ℃-ute. The group was officially announced on June 11, 2005, though its formation had been rumored for several months prior.

2006
In January, Arihara Kanna, a Hello Pro Kenshuusei, was added at the start of the Hello! Project Winter 2006 tour, as part of the Wonderful Hearts team.

Like Morning Musume before them, at their debut concert each of the group's members were given a color used for merchandise, costumes, and the like.
