Juice=Juice

Formed as a new unit within Hello! Project Kenshusei (trainees) on February 3rd, 2013, at the Hello! Project 15th Anniversary Live 2013 Winter Fukuoka performance.

The unit name comes from the desire for them to always be a fresh and unique unit, like "freshly picked," "freshly harvested," "fresh," "natural," "100%," and "freshly squeezed."
