Biography[]

In 2011, Tsunku decided that with the success of DreamS, he was to give them more pressure and competition by giving them a rival project. This became Suteki Project, and he made an audition throughout Japan to find girls to make groups that would create Suteki Project. Out of the 24 girls he picked, he put 4 into the first group created under Suteki Project -- Urban Rise. It was to have a hip-hop feeling to their songs, and the members were picked based on their dancing skills. They are the mothership of Suteki Project as they were the first group to be chosen. It was also announced that the members were to be Oshiro Mayu, Nakajima Nao, Inoue Shiori and Maruyama Ayaka.
