Idoling!!!

Idoling!!! was a Japanese female idol group created by Fuji TV in October 2006. Built around a television-driven concept, the project followed its members as they grew as idols through different experiences, combining pop music, variety-show entertainment, and live performance. Its main platform was the Idoling!!! television show, which introduced the members and eventually ran for more than 1000 episodes. The first nine members were selected through auditions. Later additions from multiple talent agencies gave the group a rotating ensemble structure. At one stage, the lineup included eighteen members; across its history, Idoling!!! counted 38 members, with as many as 25 active at the same time. Idoling!!! released its music through Pony Canyon. During its career, the group issued seven studio albums and 24 singles, along with DVD specials, and gave numerous live performances and concerts. Its anime work included the Fairy Tail themes "S.O.W. Sense of Wonder (S.O.W.センスオブワンダー)" and "Don't think. Feel !!!", as well as "Friend" for Katekyou Hitman Reborn!. The group officially ended on October 27, 2015, when the remaining members graduated.
