SATOYAMA & SATOUMI movement is a movement that was started by UP-FRONT AGENCY in early 2012.

Originally simply named the SATOYAMA movement, its goal is to help and preserve satoyama areas, as well as make one think about the life and culture of those areas. The movement sprung the creation of the Hello! SATOYAMA Life TV program, multiple soloists and idol units. On March 2, 2013, the SATOUMI movement also began with the aim to remind Japan of their beautiful oceans and beaches in the satoumi areas, and the need to keep them clean and healthy.

Some of the SATOYAMA & SATOUMI movement unit members were Hello! Project idols, while others were special winners from the Forest Award NEW FACE Audition.
