Script error: No such module "Nihongo"., later known as Script error: No such module "Nihongo"., was a Japanese girl group under Hello! Project that debuted in April 1999. They released multiple singles and two albums before disbanding in late 2000.
History
The group consisted of four members: Script error: No such module "Nihongo"., born March 13, 1974, in Osaka; Script error: No such module "Nihongo"., born May 18, 1972, in Tokyo; Script error: No such module "Nihongo"., born March 18, 1976, in Shenyang, Liaoning, China; and Script error: No such module "Nihongo"., born February 15, 1977, in Fukushima Prefecture. The group was created under the name Taiyō to Ciscomoon ("Sun and Ciscomoon"), but changed their name to T&C Bomber in March 2000. The group disbanded the same year after a final performance in Osaka, on October 9, 2000.
The band reformed in early 2009, after one of the group's former members posted a blog entry suggesting a reformation for a limited time to celebrate the group's ten-year anniversary, and the release of their new greatest hits album. Their first official reunion was on January 9, 2009, in Shibuya. In March of that year, the group called for fans to sign a petition for a 10th anniversary live performance. In 2 months, the petition received more than 2,200 signatures. Their final live performance took place in October; however, Ruru did not take part in the performance due to scheduling conflicts with her live concerts in Japan. Afterwards, the group's official blog was ended, though it was not taken down and was occasionally updated with information about the members (though has since been removed from the Oricon site).
In 2013, Up-Front Works confirmed that they will reform (minus RuRu) for a concert at Hello! Project's New Year's Eve concert.
In 2015, they reunited again for a concert in Japan again, this time with RuRu for the first time since their disbandment.
