Tsunku announces the NICE GIRL Project!, takes THE Possible

Submitted 2007-10-14 04:08 PM

Tsunku announces the NICE GIRL Project!, takes THE Possible Tsunku has announced that he will be starting up a new organisation, the "NICE GIRL Project!". This will be a collaboration between Up-Front Group (the parent company of the Hello! Project), TNX (Tsunku's own company), Tanabe Agency, and Spacecraft. This will cover the whole spectrum of variety, with music, dance, and drama (plays, musicals, movies, etc), TV shows and comedy.

Effective immediately, THE Possible have graduated from the Hello! Project Eggs (and presumably the Hello! Project) to join the NICE GIRL Project. They will be joined by Canaria Club from TNX. Auditions for new people will start this month, but the new project will not get into swing until next April.

What this means for Tsunku's involvement with the Hello! Project is currently unknown.
