==History==
===1999===
On October 3, [[Tsunku]] announced on [[ASAYAN]] his plan of creating a new sub-unit using members from [[Morning Musume]]. He revealed that the members will be [[Ichii Sayaka]], [[Yasuda Kei]] and [[Goto Maki]].

On October 24, the new sub-unit was named Petitmoni. Tsunku suggested several names before making a decision: Naminaminami (並並並), Chuchuchu (中中中), Ichigoppo (15っぽ), Ichigotamotsu (市後保), 8-3=5, C.V.S. (Convenience Sisters), MINIMONI (MINIモニ), Petit, Yanmoni, Morning Compact, Dejimoni, Dejideji, Dejideji Morning, Young Musume, Moniyan, and Petit Musume (プッチ娘。). He then chose three names: Petitmoni, Yanmoni, and Konmoni as the top three suggestions. Ichii liked the name Konmoni the best, while Yasuda and Goto liked Petitmoni.

On October 31, ASAYAN aired footage of the jacket shooting and the recording of the title track. (On the previous episode they had aired the recording of the coupling song). They also announced the title of the single as [[Chokotto LOVE]]. Tsunku later revealed in a 2013 interview that the original title for the song first was "Konya wa Chicken Rice".<ref>[http://wotaintranslation.com/2016/03/08/hello-project-complete-single-book-interviews-tsunku/]Hello! Project COMPLETE SINGLE BOOK Interviews: Tsunku♂</ref>

On the November 7 episode of ASAYAN they revealed footage from the recording and played the whole song for the first time.

On November 21, they performed the song live on TV (in the ASAYAN studios) for the first time

On November 25, [[Chokotto LOVE]] was released. The song was a spiritual sequel to [[LOVE Machine]], Morning Musume's first million-seller.

On November 28, the PV (full version) aired on TV for the first time.<ref>ASAYAN November 28, 1999</ref>

On November 30, Petitmoni watched the countdown for the [[Oricon]] charts to see how their single placed. They were up against Misia's "Wasurenai Hibi" and "Sweetness", Yuzu's "Kokoro no Mama ni", Utada Hikaru's "Addicted To You", and Chara + YUKI's "Ai no Hi Mittsu Orange", but managed to place 1st with 287,110 copies sold. It went on to sell more than one million copies.

===2000===
On May 21, Ichii graduated from Hello! Project, Morning Musume and Petitmoni at [[Morning Musume Live Hatsu no Budokan ~Dancing Love Site 2000 Haru~]].

On June 18, Tsunku said on an episode of ASAYAN that Petitmoni was going to go through an image change. He also added [[Yoshizawa Hitomi]] to the group.

They released their second single on July 26.

===2001-2004===
After Goto graduated and Yasuda's graduation was announced, the group's formation changed yet again. [[Coconuts Musume]] member [[Kimura Ayaka|Ayaka]] was the first non-Morning Musume member to join, along with 5th generation Morning Musume member [[Ogawa Makoto]]. Yoshizawa became the new leader. This lineup never released a single, but they did release a remake of "Chokotto LOVE" (titled "Chokotto LOVE (2003 Version)") which was included in [[Petit Best 3]]. They also released a new song, titled "WOW WOW WOW," which was included in the [[Petit Best 4]].

===2013-2018===
In January 2013, Yasuda and Yoshizawa briefly returned to the stage for [[Hello! Project Tanjou 15 Shuunen Kinen Live 2013 Fuyu|Hello! Project's 15th anniversary tour]], where Yoshizawa and members of Petitmoni V performed [[BABY! Koi ni KNOCK OUT!]], while Yasuda performed "Chokotto LOVE" with [[ANGERME|S/mileage]].

On August 8, 2018, Petitmoni reunited with Ichii, Yasuda, and Yoshizawa performing "Chokotto LOVE" during [[Hello! Project 20th Anniversary!! Hello! Project 2018 SUMMER]]. They also performed [[Happy Summer Wedding]] with [[Yaguchi Mari]]. This was Ichii's first time performing with Hello! Project in 18 years. However, the footage was not released due to Yoshizawa's subsequent arrest and scandal that led to her retiring from the entertainment industry.

==Trivia==
* Rumors say that the choice of the founding members was because of Goto’s success in Morning Musume, and the fact that Yasuda and Ichii had sung a catchy song ([[Second Morning|Otome no Shinrigaku]]) as a duo on Morning Musume's second album.
* [[Nakazawa Yuko]] said in an interview on FUN in August 2000 that she had wanted to be a member of Petitmoni. Yasuda replied humorously saying that the concept of the unit is bright, cheerful and young so Nakazawa wouldn't be a good fit.
