Editor's note

S/mileage, the Hello! Project subgroup with shifting lineups

A Japanese idol group that debuted in 2010 with "Yumemiru 15sai" and kept evolving.

For a quick sense of their sound, try "Otona No Tochuu" or "Dot Bikini." They're both pretty straightforward examples of what the group does.

S/mileage arrived as a specific kind of Hello! Project unit, a subgroup with its own identity, not just a temporary shuffle. Their debut single "Yumemiru 15sai" cracked the Oricon top 10 in 2010, which gave them a real starting point. Songs like "Otona No Tochuu" and "Dot Bikini" show the kind of upbeat, slightly cheeky pop they became known for.

They formed in 2009 with six members, including Ayaka Wada and Yuuka Maeda. Maeda left in 2011, and the group added several new faces over the years, ending up with a seven-member lineup plus a support member by 2016.
