Aa!, October 2003

Aa! (あぁ!) was a Hello! Project unit formed in 2003. It was lead by Morning Musume member Tanaka Reina, and featured Hello! Project Kids members Natsuyaki Miyabi and Suzuki Airi.[1] Aa! released only one single and became inactive soon after. Tsunku chose this name because of all the feelings it refers to, primarily being in love.

Aa! was later revived for a short period in 2009 with the introduction of a new member, Saho Akari
