Project Kids members Yurina Kumai and Risako Sugaya as well and Aika Mitsui from Morning Musume to be in a newly formed group Guardians 4 formed to sing the openings to the anime Shugo Chara!. And She was also recently chosen to be in Hello Project subgroup PetitmoniV as the 5th-generation 3 members, along with Mai Hagiwara (Cute) and Erina Mano (solo singer).
