## History

### **Scandinavia♥Trio**

Scandinavian♥Trio is a sub-group of Yes! Nordic 5 which consists of Mio Nanairogaoka, Makoto Ikeda, and Haruka Akagi.

In Episode 48 Mio, Makoto, and Haruka decided to form a new unit named Scandinavian♥Trio 21 days after the events of Haruka's debut. Approximately 2 days after Paniverse Elementary School Carnival has announced, Scandinavian♥Trio becomes the first idol unit in Parijuku City. When they resumed to continue their idol days, it is suddenly disbanded after Hotaru fails for Paniverse Elementary School Carnival.

### **Yes! Nordic 5**

UCT Generation has formed into three-person group and are performing in the "Paniverse Elementary School Carnival". In order to perform, there must be a new unit. The students want to participate when Mio asks Izumi, Sango, Makoto, and Haruka to join the unidentified unit.

Approximately 2 years after the disbandment of Scandinavian♥Trio, Mio, Makoto and Haruka decided to forming a new unit. Finally identified! They are called Yes! Nordic 5 (a parody of magical girl anime *Yes! Precure 5*) alongside Izumi and Sango.

### **Hiatus**

Take incident at Episode 174. Shortly after the conclusion of the Paniverse Angel Cup, Yes! Nordic 5 announces a surprise press conference. During the conference, Mio announces YN5's plans to launch a national tour around Europe that spring which will last for two weeks. They announce the title - Nordic 5 Tour: Our Very Cold Land. Mio explains how as the title suggests, Nordic countries have a cold atmosphere.

Following the conference several hours later, the others visit Yes! Nordic 5 in the planning room for their tour. Soleil explains how they have been slowly clearing space out of their schedules to make this tour a reality. Izumi has a work of ballerina dancing, Sango has large amounts of make-up things for cosmetic commercial, Mio spends her free time reading books, Makoto has some amounts of foods in her refrigerator, whilst Haruka helps her parents cure a sick patient. Rinne asks Mio if this tour was their experience, but Makoto it's only one part of it which makes everyone curious. As the planning stage of the tour progresses, Yes! Nordic 5 attends multiple meetings, TV promotions with the assistance of everyone, still sticking to their individual schedules at the same time and playing together without a day's rest. As Yes! Nordic 5 take a small break when running, they are approached by everyone with refreshments. Yes! Nordic 5 explains to the girls what their big dream is: To keep Yes! Nordic 5 active for as long as possible.

Before they leave Parijuku to go on the tour, Yes! Nordic 5 holds a concert to kick off the tour, performing "Vanilla na Sora".

#### **Return to Parijuku: Renaming and Idol Tournament**

In Episode 182, Yes! Nordic 5 confirmed their return to Parijuku with a new name "MGT Nordic 5". They also stated that they regretted their decision to go on a tour two weeks before.

In Episode 184, they train their official comeback in 1-1 loss against Soft☆Germanic. Despite this loss, they were holding hands happily for their promising return.
