Trivia

 * Is the second Hello! Project group to release 35 singles.
 * Berryz Koubou had one of the most stable, long-lasting line ups in Hello! Project. Before the start of their hiatus, they held the record for the longest consistent formation of a group among the current Hello! Project groups.
 * At the time of their graduation, Berryz Koubou was the only group in Hello! Project to have never had any members from Hello Pro Kenshuusei.
 * As of April 2014, all of the members are legal adults.
 * To announce their major debut, they held a press conference at Nakano Sun Plaza on January 14th. However, they officially debuted on March 3rd, the Japanese Doll Festival (雛祭り, Hinamatsuri), also known as Girls' Day. They also went on their HIATUS on March 3rd.
 * The girls didn't know about their group name, Berryz Koubou, until the day of its announcement to the public. They first saw the name on their costumes, but they couldn't read the kanji and were wondering what it was.
 * For their debut single, Anata Nashi de wa Ikite Yukenai, they spent a lot of time learning the choreography. Later, they became more proficient at learning choreography.
 * Their goal for 2007 was to appear on Kouhaku Uta Gassen, and they achieved it.
 * Nozomu Iwao, a famous Japanese comedian of the duo "Football Hour," is a fan of Berryz Koubou. He often talks about them in the shows he's invited on (he even made a parody of Kokuhaku no Funsui Hiroba, in which he played Sugaya Risako, his favorite member).
 * Everyone in Berryz Koubou was born in Heisei Era, which is the current era in Japan (and began on January 8, 1989).
 * Their first performance together as Berryz Koubou was Morning Musume's song Go Girl ~Koi no Victory~.
 * They were the only Hello! Project group that had a "Captain" instead of a "Leader."
 * The vocalist of the Japanese rock band "Base Ball Bear," Koide Yuusuke, is a fan of Berryz Koubou. That was one of the reasons why they choose Kumai Yurina to be in their CM promoting (WHAT IS THE) LOVE &amp; POP?, his group's 3rd album.
 * Famous manga artist Tanemura Arina is also a fan of Berryz. Her favorite member is Sugaya Risako. She once traded autographs with Tsugunaga Momoko.
 * They were the first all-girl Japanese group to perform in Thailand.
 * Several steps of the famous dance "Hare Hare Yukai" of Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu are taken from choreography from Berryz Koubou's singles: Special Generation, 21ji Made no Cinderella, Gag 100kaibun Aishite Kudasai, and Jiriri Kiteru.
 * Berryz have made cameos in the anime Gintama. Once they showed the girls with their Koi no Jubaku outfits in a handshake event.
 * In the first episode of the Lucky Channel segment (from the anime Lucky Star), the first letter, asking about how much idols make, is from a fan calling himself “Berryko Daisuki-kko” (or “Berryko Lover”). A direct reference to Berryz Koubou.
 * Yanagihara Kanako is a Japanese actress, comedienne, and tarento, who is also a fan of Berryz. Her favorite member is Tsugunaga Momoko and she was a guest on Tsugunaga's radio show.
 * The members of Berryz Koubou have their own video blog section on the Up-front official channel on YouTube, which started May 24th, 2010. All of the videos have a duration of 1 minute and members would talk about anything they wanted to. They also uploaded concert clips.
 * Before every concert, Berryz Koubou, and sometimes the staff members, would shout "Berryz Koubou! (only captain)... Ikube! (all)". For the encore part, the fans would shout that too (although it's only Berryz Ikube).
 * Super*Girls member Maeshima Ami has listed Berryz as her favorite artists in her profile. Her favorite in the group is Tsugunaga Momoko because of her singing and dancing skills, and also because of her cuteness.
 * Sugaya Risako and Natsuyaki Miyabi were the only members to get solo lines in all singles.
 * The average age of the group is 21.71 as of early March 2015.
 * They used their own logo in every single until the release of "Heroine ni Narou ka!", when they started using other fonts for writing the group's name. For their final single, "Romance wo Katatte / Towa no Uta," their logo was used on the Limited Edition D (Shinseido version).
 * They are the only main group in H!P not to have an indies single, except Morning Musume, in which their indies single eventually became the coupling track of their debut single.
