History

It was announced on Tsunku's blog on April 4, 2009 that a new group consisting of Hello! Pro Egg members would form. He later revealed on his blog that the members would be Wada Ayaka, Maeda Yuuka, Fukuda Kanon, and Ogawa Saki, and announced that Wada Ayaka would be the Leader. Tsunku has said that in order to make the best group possible, additional members may be added or current members may be removed.

On May 7, 2009 he revealed the groups name to be "S/mileage". Tsunku explained that the name "S/mileage" is taken from "Smile", "Mileage", and "Age", and that it means "the age of smiles".

S/mileage's first indie single (aMa no Jaku) was released at the Hello! Pro Egg ~Nakano STEP!~ concert on June 7, 2009.

On November 23, 2009, after releasing 3 indie singles, they received a video message during the Shinjin Kouen concert from Tsunku, announcing that they would be graduating from Hello Pro Eggs and work towards a major debut in Spring 2010 after releasing one more indie single. However, on February 28, 2010, Tsunku announced that they would debut in May, but there was a catch. In order to debut, they would have to receive 10,000 photos from fans of their smiling face by a deadline of March 25th at midnight JST, and compile them into a 2x4 meter collage. Fans were given information for how to submit their photo to help S/mileage achieve their goal. [1] If they fail, their major debut could be post-poned or cancelled.

Some time in early 2010, the group's official name was changed to the katakana version of their name (スマイレージ), though it is still romanized as S/mileage.
