## History

###  Pre-debut

On March 29, 2019 during magical2's Special Live in Osaka, a new girl group was announced. A video was shown to the audience which was later uploaded onto social media. It was revealed that four girls from magical2 would join along with the three (at the time) members of mirage2. Finally announcing the final member, Yuzuha from miracle2.

The video revealed that their debut song would be used as the opening theme song for the 3rd Girls x Heroine series, Secret x Heroine Phantomirage! They performed for the first time during that stage with 'Daijoubu' as well as mirage2's Janken Pon. After the performance, the group performed Miracle2's debut song, Catch me. Misaki was also announced to be the leader of the group.

Fans wondered why only 8 members were in the group, and Yuki from magical2 as well as the four from miracle2 weren't participating. However, it was later clear that the girls were all still EXPG students which later they became graduates. All 8 girls were the main cast of each season of the Girls x Heroine series and members of their idol groups.

Later, news also released that the girls2 members (except mirage2) were to be Oha Girls on the show OhaSuta called OhaGirl from Girls2 starting from April 1 with each girl taking a particular day of the week.

On June 26, 2019 Girls2 debuted with single 'Daijoubu'.
