 In 2004, Berryz Kobo was created with the intention of rotating all of the members of Hello!Project Kids to make time for school, but the idea was later scrapped, and the remaining girls who were not chosen were rebranded under the name Cute on June 11, 2005.In addition to Cute's activities, Hagiwara briefly ventured into voice acting and played Hikaru Mizuki in the anime "Kirarin Revolution" from June to September 2007.
