History

CoCo released their first single on September 6, 1989. They debuted with "Equal Romance" and found themselves on the charts almost regularly. CoCo even had a couple of their songs ("Equal Romance," "Omoide ga Ippai," and "Mou Nakanaide") as theme songs for the very popular anime series Ranma ½. Azusa left the group in 1992 and went solo, while the other four stayed behind. Reiko and Maki released solo works but chose to remain in the group.

In a historic performance, CoCo joined 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 August 3, 1994.
