しゅごキャラエッグ!

Shugo Chara Egg! (しゅごキャラエッグ!, Shugo Kyara Eggu!) was a Japanese idol project group formed by Up-Front Promotion in 2008 and associated with Hello! Project. The group was created to perform music for the Shugo Chara! anime series. The members' original line-up consisted of trainees from Hello! Project's pre-debut team, Hello! Pro Egg: Yuuka Maeda, Akari Saho, Kanon Fukuda and Ayaka Wada. Aside from performing music for Shugo Chara!, Shugo Chara Egg! also starred in its musical theatre adaptation, Shugo Chara! the Musical. After Maeda, Fukuda, and Wada departed to debut in Smileage, they were replaced by Mizuki Fukumura, Irori Maeda, and Nanami Tanabe, who hosted the live-action segments in Shugo Chara! Party!
