HistoryEdit

2011Edit

In 2011, Yamaga participated in the 2nd Generation S/mileage audition, but didn't pass.

She was later added to Hello Pro Egg by Tsunku, alongside Oda Sakura. They were both introduced at a FC event in November.

2012Edit

She was active consistently until August 2012, when she suddenly became inactive, and her goods were no longer being sold, it was believed that she had withdrawn from the program. Her last performance was on August 26th, 2012. Her profile on the official website has since been taken down, confirming she had left.

2013Edit

On May 5, a fan reported via Twitter that they had met Yamaga at the Hello Pro Kenshuusei Happyoukai 2013 ~Haru no Koukai Jitsuryoku Shindan Test~ event and Yamaga told the fan that she was auditioning for Morning Musume's 12th generation. If this report was true, it was her last chance to get into Morning Musume before surpassing the age requirements.
