UP-FRONT WORKS had released a set of videos of the Morning Musume members performing in front of a green screen for applicants to use upon agreeing to contest and usage rules.[3][4] The results of the contest were announced at Anime Expo 2009 during Morning Musume's concert,[5] and the winner was awarded 390,000 yen.
