History
The original group ZYX was formed in 2003 and featured Morning Musume's Yaguchi Mari and five members of Hello! Project Kids. The group released only released two singles. No more releases from the group gave it the status of being a special unit in Hello! Project.
It should be noted that ZYX is pronounced as one word, "zicks" ("jikkusu" in katakana), rather than being spelled out letter by letter (not "zee-why-ecks").
In the summer of 2009, Hello! Project released a cover album that featured seven special units that included all the members. ZYX was featured as ZYX-α with a new line-up. Umeda Erika and Tsugunaga Momoko are the only members to be in both the original ZYX and ZYX-α.
The group performed only for one concert together, because for the next one, Umeda Erika and Kusumi Koharu had already graduated from Hello! Project. Then the current group, like the other revival units, have now the same amount of members like the original ZYX.
