(Convenience Sisters), MINIMONI (MINIモニ), Pucchi, Yanmoni, Morning Compact, Dejimoni, Dejideji, Dejideji Morning, Young Musume, Moniyan, and Pucchi Musume (プッチ娘。).

They went on to release their first single, [[Chokotto LOVE]], which sold more than a million copies. The song was a spiritual sequel to [[LOVE Machine]], Morning Musume's first million seller.
