Hello! Database: Risa Niigaki

Risa is member of the 5th Momusu generation. She is the youngest member of that generation, but she is quite skilled at singing and dancing. She is typically quite energetic. Early on in MM she looked and acted quite childishly, but recently that has no longer been the case.

Risa has generally been one of the least popular members, but the recent changes in her style have increased her popularity substancially. Addionally, in the fall of 2004 she got her first solo photobook. She also got her first solo song in the form of Furusato, released on Best Shot vol. 4.

Risa's role in singles has been far from remarkable, but in Morning Musume's most recent album, Ai no Dai 6 Kan, she was more visible than usually.

In 2002 Risa was assigned to be a member of Tanpopo. Other than that she hasn't been in any smaller groups.
