History
In 2000, Tsuji auditioned for the pop group Morning Musume. At first, Tsunku, the group's producer, only wanted three new members for the group, and chose Rika Ishikawa, Hitomi Yoshizawa, and Ai Kago. However, he made a surprising move and added Tsuji as a fourth member, creating the fourth generation of the group. The fourth generation's debut single was Morning Musume's 9th, "Happy Summer Wedding".Tsuji early on became friends with her fellow fourth generation member, Ai Kago, and as the youngest two members of the group, they assumed the roles of the hyperactive troublemakers of Morning Musume. Fans took to them quickly, dubbing them "The Twins", based on their similar looks and personalities. They both retained these personalities for their first years with the group, but by 2003, they were no longer the youngest or the most childish, so their hyperactivity toned down. However, Tsuji and Kago continued their strong association with each other inside the group (and their friendship outside of it). To most casual fans of Morning Musume, it was hard to think of one without thinking of the other. Both Kago and Tsuji are also known as "Two Top" as they have similar looks and personality.
In January 2001, she formed Minimoni with Mari Yaguchi and Ai Kago. In May 2004, Tsunku announced the graduation of both Tsuji and Kago from Morning Musume and created the group W (Double You), featuring the pair. On August 1, they officially graduated from Morning Musume.
She was the temporary world record holder for spinning the largest Hula Hoop (12.5m) for 30 seconds from January 2003 to June 2003. She was crowned 'Bakajo' (Idiot Girl) with an average score of 249 out of 500 in Bakajo Test. From January 2004 to the present date, she and Ai Kago are the record holders, having simultaneously regained the title. She is also Goalkeeper for Gatas Brilhantes H.P., the Hello! Project Futsal team.
