Tsuji Nozomi during auditions, 2000

2000

Tsuji auditioned for Morning Musume while it was holding its fourth generation auditions. Originally, the group's producer Tsunku had intended to select only three auditionees to be accepted into Morning Musume's fourth generation. Tsuji lost out to Ishikawa Rika, Yoshizawa Hitomi and Kago Ai, but then Tsunku surprised everyone by adding Tsuji to the new line-up. The fourth generation's debut single was Morning Musume's 9th single, "Happy Summer Wedding."

Tsuji and Kago met during the auditions and when they both found themselves in Morning Musume the two became fast friends. The two were the youngest members in Morning Musume at the time and as such took it upon themselves to become the hyperactive troublemakers of the group. Although at first both girls were shy about being on camera, they soon warmed up to being recorded. Tsuji and Kago were accepted by Morning Musume's fans quickly and they ended up being dubbed "The Twins" due to their similair looks and personalities. The girls soon developed a strong fan base, although fans found it difficult to think of one without the other. As well as being known as "The Twins," Tsuji and Kago were also known as "Two Top," as on certain television specials they were both determined to be the least knowledgeable when given surprise pop quizzes on several grade school problems, Tsuji being the least knowledgeable and Kago being the second least knowledgeable.

The two retained their childish personalities for a number of years in the group, but by 2003 they were no longer the group's youngest members and toned down their hyperactivity considerably. However, Tsuji and Kago continued their strong association with each other inside the group (and their friendship outside of it).

2001

Along with Yaguchi Mari and Kago Ai, Tsuji approached Tsunku with a proposal of the formation of a new sub-group. The idea was that the group could only have members who were 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in) in height or shorter. It was to show that "small people could achieve big things." Mika Todd from Coconuts Musume was added before the group's debut and the group received their name, Minimoni. The group's debut single became a #1 hit.

Tsuji also participated in the 2001 shuffle unit, 10-nin Matsuri and competed against the other two units for sales, eventually losing out to 3nin Matsuri (which coincidentally contained Kago Ai in the line-up).

2002

Tsuji participated in a drama alongside her fellow Morning Musume members titled "Angel Hearts." She also released a duo photo book with Kago Ai. Tsuji continued her career with Morning Musume during 2002 and into 2003 as well as with Minimoni.

She participated in the 2002 Happiness Shuffle Groups as a member of Odoru 11.

2003

During 2003 she was the temporary world record holder in the Guinness World Records for spinning the largest Hula Hoop (12.5 m) for 30 seconds. She held the record from January to June. However, that record was broken in June by Paul "Dizzy Hips" Blair (USA), so she unfortunately did not appear in the 2004 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records.

Tsuji released her first solo photo book and continued with her duties in Morning Musume and Minimoni, remaining active in each. In a surprise move by Tsunku, Morning Musume was split into two halves - Morning Musume Otome Gumi and Morning Musume Sakura Gumi - so that the large group could perform in smaller towns that could not hold the larger numbers the full ensemble needed. Tsuji was placed into Otome Gumi and released two singles with the group before the groups merged together and formed Morning Musume once more.

Tsuji was included in the 2003 Elemental Shuffle Groups as a member of 11WATER.

It was also in 2003 that Tsuji joined Gatas Brilhantes H.P. as the goal keeper for the futsal team.

2004

2004 was a big year for Tsuji as her graduation from Morning Musume alongside Kago Ai was announced by Tsunku. This was due to the two girls going on to form a separate group within Hello! Project, this being the duo W. On August 1, they officially graduated from Morning Musume, but they had been active as W before their official graduation. Ending their duties in both Morning Musume and Minimoni (which was about to be disbanded due to the departure of Mika Todd).

In January, Tsuji and Kago simultaneously regained the largest hula hoop challenge title Tsuji had lost and held it until September 2005.

W released an essay book in 2004 titled U+U=W. It was also in 2004 that Tsuji stated her rival in Hello! Project was Matsuura Aya when she was being interviewed. In December 2004, Tsuji and Kago, as W, joined their fellow Hello! Project members on the 2004 shuffle unit single "ALL FOR ONE & ONE FOR ALL!", credited to the H.P. All Stars.

2005

As a part of Minimoni, in 2005 Tsuji took part in Minimoni's Brementown Musicians, a TV show containing three main story lines (these belonging to Tsuji, Kago Ai and Takahashi Ai, with Mika Todd appearing in a few episodes).

W released their second album, "2nd W."

Tsuji also joined the concert unit Hello! Project Shirogumi.

2006

W's activities slowed to a stop in 2006 due to Kago Ai's indefinite hiatus as punishment for her underage smoking. Tsuji took to appearing on television shows as a variety idol during this time. However, Tsuji and Kago were kept apart and not allowed to communicate.

Tsuji released her second solo photo book in 2006, titled Non no 19.

2007

From January 31 to February 7, Tsuji appeared in the stage play "Shinjuku no Onna" with fellow former Morning Musume member Yasuda Kei.

Kago Ai returned after her punishment was over and began working at the offices of UP-FRONT WORKS, the record label behind Hello! Project while her comeback as a part of W was being prepared. However, Kago was once again caught in a scandal and her contract was terminated, leading to W's disbandment.

On April 24, news about Tsuji's new unit was released. The unit, Gyaruru, was to be composed of Tsuji, Tokito Ami and Gal Sone. She also began her solo career with the release of her debut single, a cover of Morning Musume's "Koko ni Iruzee!"

2008

Tsuji announced on her blog that at some point in 2008, she started to design baby clothes with Akachan Honpo. The brand was intended for girls and was named "Baby&Ribbon". Tsuji chose the name and drew the logo herself. However she decided that she wanted to expand the brand into providing clothing for not just babies, but for girls, as well as for boys, up to six years of age. She renamed the brand "BOYS & Ribbon," with the "Ribbon" part representing the cuteness of girls and the "BOYS" part representing the vigor of young boys.

2009

January 30, Tsuji opened an official online blog on Ameba. The name of Tsuji Nozomi's blog (のんピース) caused some confusion when translated; it was either translated as "Non Piece" or "Non Peace." Some believe that the best romanization of Tsuji's blog is "Non Piece," a pun on the anime One Piece which she is a fan of. It could also refer to it being Tsuji's piece of the internet.

She performed at the Hello! Project 2009 Winter Kettei! Hello☆Pro Award '09 ~Elder Club Sotsugyou Kinen Special~ concert on February 1, her first performance in one year and nine months.

I pray from the bottom of my heart that she will recover quickly, and that we will see her cheerful smile as soon as possible."

On December 21, Tsuji updated her blog with an entry blessing Kago Ai on her marriage and pregnancy. “Aibon (Kago), who is a good friend and a partner of mine, will be a housewife and a mama like me… I am truly happy for her. Really happy,” she commented. Tsuji's husband, Sugiura Taiyo, shared some advice on pregnancy with Kago: “I am sure that right now is an important time for her, so I hope you do your best to take care of your body and be careful not push yourself too hard,” he said. “Aibon, really and truly, congratulations.”

Personal Life

• Name Meaning
• Nicknames

Tsuji is the second and youngest child of two daughters in her family.

In October 2016, the Sugiura family adopted their first dog, a female Maltese and Toy Poodle mix named Cook. In late November 2017, Tsuji that announced Cook was pregnant, and she gave birth to two puppies on December 12. Unfortunately, the first puppy passed away from a hereditary "abdominal wall rupture" disease that could not be helped. The Sugiuras kept the second puppy and named her Mocha (モカ).

On May 8, 2007, multiple Japanese news sources announced that Tsuji was nine weeks pregnant, and engaged to actor Sugiura Taiyo, the 26-year-old lead actor of Ultraman Cosmos, whom she had been dating since summer 2006, after the two were introduced to each other earlier in April. Their marriage was set for June 17, 2007, the same day as her 20th birthday. This was confirmed the next day by several news sources. A press conference was held on May 10, in which both entertainers expressed their apologies to the public, amidst both praise and criticism coming from other renowned artists, such as former 4th generation Morning Musume member Yoshizawa Hitomi, who was called in at the last minute to replace Tsuji in the play Nan'nichi Kunsairai and consequently was forced to learn all her lines in a relatively short period of time; and Akiko Wada, who considered the singer's pregnancy and shotgun marriage signs of irresponsibility. Tsuji stated at the press conference that she would return to the public eye "when things calm down" after childbirth. Her position within Gyaruru was filled by Abe Asami.

Upon marriage, she has changed her name to Sugiura Nozomi, but continues to use Tsuji Nozomi as her stage name.

On November 26, 2007, Tsuji gave birth to a girl named Noa (希空) at 12:45 AM, weighing 2.73 kg (6.0 lb; 0.430 st).

On December 26, 2010, Tsuji gave birth to her second child at 1:32 PM, weighing 2.7 kg. His name is Seia (青空), meaning "blue sky" because the weather was beautiful the day he was born.

On December 23, 2011, Josei Seven reported that Tsuji and her husband were living separately. According to the article, she "borrowed" an apartment away from her home allegedly due to her father-in-law's financial troubles. However, Tsuji's agency stated that the couple were not separating and the apartment was rented in preparation for her making a full return to work.

On March 21, 2013 at 4:25 PM, she gave birth to her third child, a baby boy named Sora (昊空).

On June 14, 2018, Tsuji announced that she is pregnant with her fourth child, who was due in December, almost six years since she last gave birth. On December 8, she gave birth on to a son weighing 2.655 kg. He was later revealed to be named Koa (幸空).

Hula Hoop World Record

Tsuji has twice held the world record for the largest hula hoop spun. She set her first record on 1 January 2003, with a hoop measuring 3.98 m (13.1 ft) in diameter. However, that record was broken in June 2003 by Paul "Dizzy Hips" Blair (USA), so she did not appear in the 2004 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records.

Tsuji — along with Kago Ai in a separate individual attempt — regained the record on 1 January 2004, with a hoop measuring 4.08 m (13.4 ft) in diameter. They set their record during a live New Year's Day television special at Nippon Television Network, Tokyo, Japan. Tsuji and Kago shared the record in the 2005 and 2006 editions of the Guinness Book. Tsuji's name was misspelled in the 2005 edition, but it was subsequently corrected in the 2006 edition.

Tsuji and Kago's record was eventually broken again in September 2005 by Ashrita Furman (USA), although it happened too late in the year to displace them from the 2006 edition of the Guinness Book. They are no longer listed as of the 2007 edition.
