− | Ecomoni was created for the environmental festival "Acchi Chikyuu wo Samasunda!" (Cool Down the Hot Earth!), a two-day event which took place on the 19th and 20th of June 2004. At the festival they sang their song <u>Help!! ~Ecomoni no Acchi Chikyuu wo Samasunda!~</u>. The song, which was written and composed by <u>Tsunku</u>, hasn't been released as a single but appeared on a DVD available for purchase at the Festival and on the compilation album <u>Petit Best 5</u>. A new version sung with <u>Morning Musume</u> appeared on <u>Petit Best 6</u>. |
