Canary Club (キャナァーリ倶楽部 Kyanāri Kurabu?) is a Japanese female idol group, founded by Tsunku in 2007 within his Nice Girl Project!.[1][2]
The group debuted in 2007 with the single "SWEET & TOUGHNESS" as a nine-member group. After two albums, six singles and various line-up changes between 2007 to 2011, Canary Club was transferred to Space Craft Group in 2011. Since transferring, Canary Club have released songs for the game Rhythm Heaven in 2011. As of 2012, it is rumored that the agency decided to split Canary Club into solo activities for each member, and despite still calling each member a Canary Club member, it is assumed that Canary Club disbanded in 2012.
As of 2015, Nice Girl Project and TNX have dissolved, further supporting the rumor. In January 2015, Chihara Mochida officially withdrew from TNX. In her announcement, she made some comments that further add to the disbandment rumor regarding Canary Club in 2012 and splitting into solo activities. Also, in a blog, Mana Ogawa mentions meeting Ayumi Takada for lunch and that it had been a long time since she had met with another Canary Club member.
