Two new Hello! Project units formed

allkpop



Two new music units Peaberry and DIY? will be created from the �"SATOYAMA movement", a project started up by Up-Front Group. The two units will debut at the Hello! Project 15th��anniversary summer live concert tour that�s starting on July 21st.

"SATOYAMA movement" is a project introducing new lifestyle tips that aim to maintain the balance between man and nature. As part of the movement, program "Hello! SATOYAMA Life" has been airing on TV Tokyo�s BS Japan. In this show, Hello! Project members learn about agriculture, farming and other do-it-yourself information as new lifestyle tips are introduced to viewers of the program.

Peaberry is made up of Smileage�s Wada Ayaka and Morning Musume's Sayashi Riho. Usually the fruit of the coffee plant develops as two halves. On rare occasions, only one of the two seeds develops and results in a round coffee bean known as the peaberry. The name for this unit signifies that Wada and Sayashi will grow and come to fruition as one entity.

DIY? comprises of Natsuyaki Miyabi and Tokunaga Chinami from Berryz Kobo, Yajima Maimi and Nakajima Saki from ?-ute, and Iikubo Haruno from Morning Musume. DIY is usually an acronym for �Do-It-Yourself� but in this case, it also stands for �Dance In Your heart�. It indicates the strong spirit of the girls as they forge their own path, and represents a dance unit that will capture the hearts of its audience.

Peaberry will be performing "Cabbage Hakusho" at "Hello! Project Tanjou 15 Shuunen Kinen Live 2012 Natsu ~Ktkr Natsu no FAN Matsuri!~", and DIY? will be performing "Foret Foret ~ Forest for Rest~" at "Hello! Project Tanjou 15 Shuunen Kinen Live 2012 Natsu ~Wkwk Natsu no FAN Matsuri!~". Both songs incorporate the concept behind "SATOYAMA movement".

Reportedly, both units will remain active after their debut at the summer concerts.
