MUH (stylized as MUH~) was a Japanese pop girl group which was formed from the Japanese television program "Akiba Limousine" in 2003. Derived from the initials of the members, MUH (Mori-Usami-Harada) toured around Japan singing their interpretations of hit anime theme songs. Led by Yurika Mori, the band performed in cosplay outfits such as maid costumes, pajamas, and school uniform.

History

Singing was the main activity of the group, whether it be their interpretations of famous anime theme songs, songs requested by fans through the radio, or their very own original songs that they wanted to share with everybody. The group released two albums, Maamaamaa in 2003, and Vitamin MUH in 2005. The group also released two DVDs, MUH in 2005, and Muh Thank You in 2007.

The band members also have their own careers outside of the group, appearing in their own picture book collections, DVDs, casting in commercials, dramas, and movies.

The group officially disbanded on July 7, 2007, as announced during their live show at Shinjuku Ruido on June 9, 2007, and made official on their website last June 11, 2007.

The members of the band were chosen after winning as grand champions of the TV show Akiba na Renchu. They then did the anime song cover for the TV program Akiba Limousine, in which they were established as a cosplay idol unit.
