CoCo (band)

File:COCO GROUP.JPG

Coco was a Japanese Pop group Mikiyo Ohno, Azusa Senou, Erika Haneda, Rieko Miura and Maki Miyamae.

Just like the Beatles, Japan's favorite musical band was Coco. About a year after their debut, Azusa left the group and went solo while the other 4 stayed behind. Reiko and Maki also released solo works but chose to remain in the group. Coco debuted with the catchy tune "Equal Romance" and found themselves on the charts almost regularly. Coco even had a couple of their songs ("Equal Romance" and "Omoide ga Ippai") as theme songs for the very popular anime series Ranma 1/2. They released their first single on September 6 1989.

In a historic performance, Coco joined up with Ribbon, Qlair and a few solo idols for the "Otomejuku" Concert. The highlight was when all of them joined onstage for a rousing version of the Candies classic "Shochuu Omimai Moushiagemasu."

Their final single, "You're My Treasure" was released to the public before they disbanded on July 6 1994.
