History
Petitmoni was formed in late 1999 and consisted of Ichii Sayaka, Yasuda Kei, and Goto Maki. Their first single, "Chokotto LOVE" sold more than one million copies. However, in early 2000, Ichii had graduated from Morning Musume, so Yoshizawa Hitomi was added to Petitmoni to fill her place and Yasuda became the new leader. This generation released three more singles and one album.
Between late 2002 and early 2003, Goto had graduated from Morning Musume and Yasuda's graduation was announced, so Petitmoni's line-up was changed once more, this time to include Ogawa Makoto and Coconuts Musume's Ayaka, with Yoshizawa as leader. This line-up never released any new singles, but they did record one new song for the Pucchi Best 4 album, "WOW WOW WOW". From there, though, Petitmoni became inactive and is now on an indefinite hiatus.
