Super Girls (Japanese group)
Japanese idol group
Super Girls (Japanese: スーパーガールズ, Hepburn: Sūpā Gāruzu; stylized as SUPER☆GiRLS), also known as Supaga (スパガ), is an eight-member Japanese idol group formed by Avex Trax in 2010.
History
Avex held public auditions for members of the new group in June 2010, from which twelve finalists were selected out of 7,000 participants. By February 2010, about 1,000 people advanced to the second round, and a final round was held in June. The results of the audition were subject to controversy because of a lottery system used to select two of the members.
Super Girls made their stage debut on 7 August 2010, at the A-Nation event. The first live performance of the 11-member idol group was held at Shiodome-AX in Tokyo, and the group released their first album, Chōzetsu Shōjo (超絶少女), on 22 December 2010. The group held their first live concert on 23 October at Harajuku Astro Hall in Tokyo.
Two more singles followed in 2011, "Max! Otomegokoro/Happy Go Lucky!" and "Joshiryoku Paradise". At the end of the year, they were nominated for the Japan Record Award for Best New Artist but lost to another girl group, Fairies.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as japanese idol group. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q613910. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2010 and 2011.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
