Takoyaki Rainbow

Takoyaki Rainbow (たこやきレインボー; Stylised as Tacoyaki Rainbow) was a five-member Japanese idol girl group.

They were originally formed with seven members on September 10, 2012.

The group officially disbanded on May 9, 2021, with all five members graduating after 9 years of being active.

After their disbandment, it was planned that the members would perform individual entertainment activities until a new project with the same members would be announced.

On March 31, 2022, the agency announced that the new project was cancelled as all the members chose to focus on their respective careers.

The group held their final mini-live on May 4, 2022 @Nanko ATC seaside stage in Osaka.
