Up Up Girls (Kari) (アップアップガールズ(仮); officially stylized as UP UP GIRLS kakko KARI) is a Japanese girl group originally consisting of seven former Hello Pro Egg members currently under UP-FRONT CREATE. They were initially known as Up Front Girls (Kari) (アップフロントガールズ(仮)), but they changed to their current name in June 2011. As the name implies, the group is still in its tentative stage. The last part of their name is read "kakko kari" (仮), and it's often used as a logo to represent the group. Their name is often shortened to Apuga (アプガ).

Unlike other idol groups that were under UP-FRONT PROMOTION at the time, Up Up Girls (Kari) were not part of Hello! Project. Up Up Girls (Kari) performed live every Thursday at MAP Theater, Akihabara, as one of the regular weekday acts until the theater was closed down. For a short time, they moved their act to Hatsudai The DOORS. They still regularly perform at different venues

All members of Up Up Girls (Kari) are also members of UFZS, a K-Pop dance cover group that was formed a month before Up Up Girls (Kari).

In 2017, Up Up Girls expanded to include a second generation group called Up Up Girls (2) (アップアップガールズ(2); officially stylized as UP UP GIRLS kakko 2KI or UP UP GIRLS SECOND) and a group of pro-wrestlers called Up Up Girls (Pro Wres) (アップアップガールズ(プロレス); officially stylized as UP UP GIRLS kakko PROWRESTLING).

2010

Midway through 2010, Hello Pro Egg was going through major line-up changes, and among the many to announce their departure during this time was Sengoku Minami, who announced the completion of her training at the end of the year.

2011

In January, Mori Saki and Furukawa Konatsu announced the completion of their training in Hello Pro Egg as well.

On February 22, a K-Pop cover dance group called UFZS was formed with founding members Furukawa Konatsu, Mori Saki, and members of Hello Pro Egg: Sato Ayano, Sekine Azusa, and Arai Manami.[6]

On March 3, it was revealed that the five UFZS members along with Sengoku Minami would be forming a new group called Up-Front Girls (Kari).

On March 9, it was announced that Sato Ayano, Sekine Azusa, and Arai Manami had officially completed their training within Hello Pro Egg.

On April 2, a new TV show featuring the Up-Front Girls (Kari) members began airing on Sky Perfect TV channel, entitled Up Front Girls.[7] Various Internet social media also opened for Up-Front Girls (Kari), such as Ameba blogs, a Ustream channel, and a staff Twitter account.

On May 1 through May 3, Up-Front Girls (Kari) held a series of shows for a fan club event. On the third day of the event, Saho Akari, who had already completed her training in Hello Pro Egg on April 18, made a surprise appearance, and announced herself as a new member of Up-Front Girls (Kari).[8]

Eventually, the MAP Theater was officially closed, and performances were then continued at various venues.

In late 2011 the group collaborated with the South Korean duo TENSI LOVE, by acting as backup dancers for their performances. The group also performed covers of two of the group's songs at events, "Shine" and "Cake House".
