History

Konno Asami was selected from Love Audition 21 to join Morning Musume as a fifth generation member on August 26, 2001, along with Takahashi Ai, Ogawa Makoto, and Niigaki Risa. She made her debut appearance on the single "Mr. Moonlight ~Ai no Big Band~," and first appeared on the fourth studio album, 4th Ikimasshoi!

Although only three girls were expected to be chosen, Konno was the wildcard selection, despite having performed poorly in all areas of the audition. According to Tsunku, he said that although Konno was a "failure", he picked her for her great potential.

Later that year, Konno was the lead in the TV special Morning Musume tokuban: 13nin-gakari no Kurisumasu. During this show she proclaimed that she was the "spare", and wasn't needed in the group. Throughout the special, all of Morning Musume would participate in several challenges at Konno's request that all 13 members work together.

She was unexpectedly thrust into a central position in the May 2002 musical, Morning Town receiving the lead role in the second half of the play.

In September 2002, the fifth generation members were placed into the Morning Musume subgroups, so Konno was added to the Tanpopo roster along with Niigaki Risa. She participated in one single, "BE HAPPY Koi no Yajirobee."

Konno was placed in Morning Musume Sakura Gumi in January 2003 and released two singles as a part of the group before it went inactive. Later that year in July, Konno was loaned to Country Musume along with Fujimoto Miki, going on to release three singles with the group as Country Musume ni Konno to Fujimoto. She was an original member of the futsal team Gatas Brilhantes H.P. when it was formed in September 2003, having the position of goalkeeper along with Tsuji Nozomi.

Despite her weaker singing voice in comparison to the other members, Konno sang a solo version of "Papa ni Niteiru Kare" on the fanclub-only DVD release of Morning Musume Best Shot Vol. 3. In 2004, Konno was the lead vocalist for Morning Musume's 24th single, "Namida ga Tomaranai Houkago".

On April 28, 2006, Konno announced her graduation alongside Ogawa Makoto. She graduated from Morning Musume and Hello! Project on July 23, 2006, in order to focus on her studies and enter a university. On December 14, 2006, it was announced that Konno had been accepted to Keio University, Shonan Fujisawa campus (SFC). Keio University is considered the best private university in Japan.

On January 28, 2007, on the final day of the Hello! Project 2007 Winter tour, Konno appeared on stage to give her messages to Asami and Miuna, who were graduating from Country Musume and Hello! Project. On June 18th, 2007 it was announced that Konno would be returning to Hello! Project to continue her futsal career with Gatas Brilhantes H.P., and also as a member of the team's music unit, Ongaku Gatas.
