Little Glee Monster, also known as Little Glee, is a six-member girl group formed through the "Saikyou Uta Shoujo Audition" held by Sony Music Records & Watanabe Entertainment in 2012.
The group initially formed as seven but debuted as six with the single "Houkago High Five" in 2014. Their fifth album, FLAVA, is their most successful album, peaking at number one on both Oricon and Japan's Billboard charts, and certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of Japan for sales of 100,000. In 2018, they won an award at the 2018 MTV Europe Music Awards for Best Japanese Act.
In response to the graduation of Serina and manaka in July 2022 due to health problems, auditions were held in the summer of 2022 to recruit new members. Three finalists of "M∞NSTER AUDITION": Mika, Yumi, and miyou were then selected to join the group. With the new formation, Little Glee Monster started their second chapter.
