Concerning the new Hello! Project unit

Tsubaki, this word comes from the flower Camellia Japonica which is loved by everyone since the Manyo period.
In comparaison to those flowers, even in Winter people from the ancient times always preserved the green leaves of the evergreen.
Then, the leave which is robust takes is origin from the name "Tsubaki" in Japanese....
This name also has been decided with praising the noble and cold beauty and wanting the group to be fresh and strong like the evergreen.
In language of flowers, Tsubabi means the "pride", the "supremacy of lovely", "humble kindness".
It is wished that the group will grow appropriately with the language of flowers.
Since the indefinite suspension of Berryz Kobo, and after Saki Shimizu became Hello! Project Advisor, she took part of the decision of the members and of the group's name.
Like Kobushi Factory, "Factory" has also been associated in order to inherit Berryz Kobo spirit.
From now on, please support Tsubaki Factory as well as Hello! Project.
