Biography

Angerme (アンジュルム, Anjurumu), formerly Smileage (スマイレージ, Sumairēji, stylized as S/mileage), is a Japanese idol girl group from the supergroup Hello! Project, which originally consisted of four former Hello! Pro Egg (Hello! Project trainees) members that left Egg in 2010 and became full-time members of Hello! Project. In 2010, they won the Japan Record Award for Best New Artist. In 2011, five new girls were added to the group as part of the second generation, with two being former Egg members and three new girls. With 3 members graduating, Angerme continued the rest of their career as a 6-member group.

Since the formation of Angerme, there have been 6 more generations and 5 more graduations. As of January 2020, the total number of members of the group stands at 10 members, two of which have announced graduation.

History

Smileage era

2009: Formation

On April 4, Japanese music producer Tsunku announced on his blog that a new girl group consisting of Hello! Pro Egg members would be formed. The members would consist of Ayaka Wada, Yuuka Maeda, and Kanon Fukuda, all formerly of Shugo Chara Egg!, as well as fellow Egg Saki Ogawa. Ayaka was the designated group leader. A month later, on May 7, 2009, he revealed that the group would be called "Smileage". The name is a portmanteau of the English words "smile", "mileage", and "age", and together the name means "the age of smiles".

Smileage's first single, "Ama no Jaku", was released at the Hello! Pro Egg: Nakano Step! concert on June 7, 2009.

2010: Debut

After releasing three singles, Tsunku announced that the group would become a full-time group in the spring of 2010 and their debut was set for May 2010. A "Smile Campaign" (笑顔キャンペーン, "Egao Campaign") was embarked upon to collect 10,000 smiles from people, where fans were asked to send in photographs of themselves smiling, compiled into a big mosaic. The group made their official event debut in Nagoya on March 19, with their fourth single "Otona ni Narutte Muzukashii!!!", released March 14, their first release on the Up-Front Works label. It peaked at the No.1 spot on the Oricon weekly indies chart. After the deadline on March 25, it was announced that the result of the campaign would be announced during the joint Smileage and Erina Mano concert on April 3. It was then announced that the group would be leaving from Hello! Pro Eggs.

Smileage appeared as the opening support act at fellow Hello! Project act Cute's concert on March 20, 2010. On April 3, they performed a joint concert with Erina Mano, at which Tsunku announced that the girls would indeed make their major debut, and revealed the completed mosaic. Their first major single, "Yume Miru Fifteen" (A Dreaming Fifteen Year Old), was released on May 26, and debuted on Oricon at number 5. Their first tour, titled "Devil Smile Angel Smile," began on October 9, 2010. In late August, a post on their official website revealed that their first album had been set for a winter release. The album's name was later revealed to be Warugaki 1 (Evil Brats 1) and was released on December 8, 2010. On December 30, Smileage received the Japan Record Award for Best New Artist.

2011: The second generation

On May 29, 2011, Smileage revealed at their first-anniversary event that they would be holding auditions for new members to add to the four-member line-up and that some of the members would depart. The new members were announced on August 14. From Hello! Pro Egg, Akari Takeuchi and Rina Katsuta were added, and three other girls - Kana Nakanishi, Fuyuka Kosuga, and Meimi Tamura - also joined.

On August 24, it was announced that Saki Ogawa would be leaving Smileage on August 27 and, subsequently, from Hello! Project. In May 2011, she had asked to return to the life of a normal junior high school student. On September 9, one of Smileage's newest additions, Fuyuka Kosuga, was diagnosed with anaemia, after missing a concert due to illness. Due to her anaemia, she left the group and resumed her work as a Hello! Project Egg after her recovery.

Starting September 18, a second Smile Campaign was held by the new members to determine their place as official members in the group. On October 16, at Smileage's "Tachiagirl" event, producer Tsunku announced all four sub-members had become full members. On October 25, it was announced that Yuuka Maeda would leave Smileage and, subsequently, from Hello! Project on December 31. This was due to her wanting to retire from show business and focus on university entrance exams, and she felt that it would be unfair to her supporters to only give the fans half of her concentration on stage.

At the start of 2012, the group consisted of six members - two being first-generation and four being second-generation members. On February 1, they released "Choto Mate Kudasai!", their ninth single overall and first without Yuuka Maeda. Their 10th single "Dot Bikini" followed on May 2, their first best-of album on May 20, and their 11th single "Suki yo, Junjō Hankōki" on August 22. On August 30, Smileage's 13th single and second album was announced. The single, titled "Samui ne", was released on November 28, and the album 2 Smile Sensation was released on May 22, 2013. On July 7, 2013, they released their fourteenth single, "Atarashii Watashi ni Nare! / Yattaruchan". It was their first double A-side single.

On August 16, 2013, it was announced Smileage and senior labelmate Cute would have a joint live house Fanclub tour, titled Naruchika 2013 Aki ℃-ute x Smileage, from October 5 to December 8. On November 1, a mini-tour for Smileage, called Smileage Live Tour 2013 Aki ~Smile Charge~, was announced on the official Hello! Project website. The tour began on November 12 in Saitama and ended on December 12 in Gunma. During their concert at Live House in Harajuku, it was announced that they would have their 1st Spring tour called Smileage Live Tour 2014 Haru ~Smile Charge~, it began on January 23 and ended on May 25.

On December 18, 2013, Smileage released their fifteenth single, "Ee ka!? / Ii Yatsu". It ranked #3 in Oricon's weekly single chart and sold a total of 37,141 copies, becoming their highest-selling single to date.

On March 29, 2014, Tsunku announced at Hello! Project Hina Fest 2014 ~Full Course~ via VTR that Smileage would have their first Budokan Live, Smileage LIVE 2014 Natsu FULL CHARGE ~715 Nippon Budokan~, on July 15. They were expected to sell at least 8,000 tickets.

On April 30, Smileage released their sixteenth single, "Mystery Night! / Eighteen Emotion". On August 2, Smileage attended the 2014 Tokyo Idol Festival. On August 3, Smileage also appeared on the SMILE GARDEN live stage as a special opening act. On August 18, it was announced that Smileage's official website would be closing on August 31. On August 20, Smileage released their seventeenth single, "Aa Susukino / Chikyuu wa Kyou mo Ai wo Hagukumu". This was their final single as a 6-member Smileage.

Angerme Era

2015 – 2016: Re-brand and third, fourth, and fifth generation debut

On September 24, 2014, it was announced that a third generation for the group would be added from among the Hello! Pro Kenshūsei, as well as a name change for the group to be decided on October 31.

On November 26, Smileage performed as the opening for Morning Musume '14 Concert Tour Aki GIVE ME MORE LOVE ~Michishige Sayumi Sotsugyou Kinen Special~ in Yokohama Arena. They performed "Eighteen Emotion", marking their first performance as a 9-member line-up.

On December 17, 2014, it was announced that Smileage would be renamed Angerme. The announcement was made on the last day of their 2014 fall tour, Smileage Live Tour 2014 Aki ~FULL CHARGE~. The name was proposed by second-generation member Nakanishi Kana and comes from a combination of the French words for angel (ange) and tear (larme). Since this was effectively a new group with a revised membership and a release schedule under the new name, the group known as Smileage effectively ceased to exist from that date.

On January 2, 2015, Angerme announced they would have a second Budokan concert on May 26.

On February 4, 2015, Angerme released their eighteenth single (and their first under their new name), "Taiki Bansei / Otome no Gyakushuu". It peaked at #1 on the Oricon Daily Chart and sold 48,578 copies, becoming their highest-selling single to date.

The release date was later changed to November 11, 2015.

On November 11, 2015, Angerme released their twentieth single, "Desugita Kui wa Utarenai / Dondengaeshi / Watashi." At the release event for this single, the winner of the 2015 Angerme Shin Member Audition and a sole fourth generation member was announced with Moe Kamikokuryou revealed as the new member. This was the first time a Hello! Project group other than Morning Musume welcomed a sole generation member. With Kanon Fukuda leaving on November 29, 2015, at the "Angerme First Concert Tour 2015 Aki "Hyakka Ryouran" finale at Nippon Budokan", Ayaka Wada was the last remaining first generation member.

On December 16, 2015, Angerme performed at Fuji TV's 2015 FNS Kayousai THE LIVE, alongside Morning Musume '15 and Cute.

Less than a month after Fukuda's graduation, on December 20, 2015, during the Angerme Christmas Fanclub event, it was announced that Meimi Tamura would leave Angerme and Hello! Project in spring 2016. On January 2, at the opening day concert of Hello! Project 2016 WINTER ~DANCING! SINGING! EXCITING!~, Tamura's graduation date was announced to be on May 30 at Nippon Budokan. On April 27, Angerme released their 21st single, "Tsugitsugi Zokuzoku / Itoshima Distance / Koi Nara Tokku ni Hajimatteru." It is the first single to feature Kamikokuryo Moe, the last single to feature Tamura Meimi, and the first single since Smileage's formation to not include Kanon Fukuda. On May 30, Tamura Meimi graduated from Angerme, bringing the group's members down to eight.

On July 16, 2016, a surprise announcement was made: Momona Kasahara, previously from Hello! Pro Kenshūsei, would join the group as the sole 5th generation member, bringing the group's members up to nine. This was the first generation since the group's formation to join less than a year after the previous generation. Kasahara made her debut performance only 2 days after the announcement, during Angerme's performance on Fuji TV's 2016 FNS Uta no Natsu Matsuri on July 18 with Cute and Morning Musume '16.

On October 19, Angerme released their 22nd single, "Umaku Ienai / Ai no Tame Kyou Made Shinkashite Kita Ningen, Ai no Tame Subete Taikashita Ningen / Wasurete Ageru." This was the debut single of Momona Kasahara, and the first Angerme single to not include Meimi Tamura.

On January 11, 2017, Hello! Project announced the hiatus of Maho Aikawa until further notice, due to being diagnosed with panic disorder.
