Negicco (ねぎっこ, the name is officially written in Latin script) is a female idol music group created in July 2003. It is composed today of three members: Nao, Megu and Kaede. The group is from Niigata, Japan, and was created for the promotion of the local green onion (Allium fistulosum): the word negi (ねぎ) means "green onion" in Japanese. "Negicco" thus means "The green onion girls". The group is produced by Negi-pro Agency, and is signed to the T-Palette Records label. The single "Tokimeki no Headliner" number 20 on the weekly Oricon Singles Chart in November 2013^[1] and Hikari no Spur reached the fifth place.^[2]
