℃-uteFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from °C-ute)Jump to: navigation, search

℃-ute is an all-female Japanese pop group within Hello! Project. The character "℃" (degree Celsius) is substituted for "C" in notation for the purpose of expressing ardor—the hyphen doesn't have any meaning in particular. The proper pronunciation for this group in Japanese is kyūto (キュート, kyūto?) with pitch accents on both "ū" and "o".

History℃-ute was formed in the year 2005, consisting of seven girls from Hello! Project Kids who were not chosen to form the group Berryz Kobo. The group was officially announced on June 11, 2005, though its formation had been rumored for several months prior. Later, in January 2006, Kanna Arihara, a Hello Pro Egg, was added at the start of the Hello! Project Winter 2006 tour, as part of the Wonderful Hearts team. On October 31, 2006, Megumi Murakami left the group suddenly without any graduation ceremony.Prior to the band's formation, some members worked with members of Morning Musume in such side projects as Aa! and ZYX, as well as the MiniMoni movie Okashina Daibouken.Incidentally, the Aa!, Berryz Kobo, and ℃-ute chain are in alphabetical order (ABC), and ZYX itself is in reverse alphabetical order (XYZ).On February 21, 2007, ℃-ute's first official single "Sakura Chirari" was released. On the first day it ranked third on the Oricon charts, a feat not even accomplished by Morning Musume (who had ranked 6th on their debut single).[1] With their debut single, they became the youngest group (with the average age of 13) to rank in the top 10.[2] Their latest single has debuted at #3 of the Oricon Weekly Charts.On December 30, 2007, ℃-ute was chosen as the Best New Artist Award with Japan Record Award.
