Career

2005-2009: Morning Musume, Kirarin Revolution

In 2005, after seeing an audition call for new members for the Japanese idol group Morning Musume in a magazine, Kusumi considered applying after noticing she was eligible based on the minimum age requirements to participate.[1] With her sister's help, Kusumi auditioned in secret with the song "As a Person" by Tomomi Kahara.[1] She sang "Furusato" during the final audition[1] and was selected for the group as the only seventh generation member, a feat which earned her the nickname "Miracle" from producer Tsunku.[2] Kusumi debuted on the single "Iroppoi Jirettai" and was one of the founding members of Hello! Project's kickball team, Metro Rabbits H.P., in 2006.

A manga adaptation by Rio Fujimi recounting Kusumi's rise to stardom was serialized in Ciao, titled Miracle Revolution: Koharu Kusumi's Story.[6] Preferring the freedom she had working on her solo projects, Kusumi decided to pursue a solo career after Kirarin Revolution ended,[1] mainly in modeling[7] as well as other paths in entertainment, including comedy.[8] On September 19, 2009, Tsunku announced that Kusumi would leave Morning Musume and Hello!
