Berryz Koubou (Berryz工房, means 'Berryz Workshop'. Sometimes romanized as 'Berryz Kobo') is a J-pop group that is inside Hello! Project. The original eight members are originally from Hello! Project Kids and often are back-up dancers for W (Double You)'s music videos. Prior to the band's formation, some members worked with members of Morning Musume in such side projects as Aa! and ZYX, and in the MiniMoni movie Okashina Daibouken.
They were first announced at a Hello! Project Club Event on January 14, 2004. Hello! Project promoted the band by releasing three singles within a month of each other, starting in March of 2004 with "Anata Nashi Dewa Ikite Yukenai". Their first album, 1st Cho Berryz, followed the trilogy of debut singles in July of 2004.
