The project was created by Tsunku and launched on October 15, 2007.^[1] Nice Girl Project! began its full-time activities in April 2008.

Before its disbandment, the project's roster consisted of groups The Possible, Canary Club; soloists Tokky and Mana Ogawa; and the trainee group, Nice Girl Project! Kenshusei.
