Cherrybelle, is a nine-piece Indonesian girl group formed in 2011. They are signed to CBM Entertainment.
History
Cherrybelle was formed on 27 February 2011. Beginning as a meeting of two old friends, Teguh Sanjaya and Dino Raturandang lightly discussed their desire to form a group consisting of teenage girls, although they could not imagine how many members it would later contain. An announcement was sent through broadcast medium BlackBerry Messenger, detailing an audition for the formation of a new girl group. Dino held open auditions in Jakarta, in which 400 girls attended. As a result of several auditions, 9 girls were elected to be in the initial formation, thus conceiving a girl band that would later be named Cherrybelle. Cherrybelle was taken from two words borrowed from foreign languages, "cherry" and "belle". The philosophy behind this name was that the personnels of Cherrybelle were teenage girls who were "sweet", "adorable", "hot", and "beautiful". After several months of training, including occasional rigorous practices lasting until 3 a.m., along with living together for a month to improve interpersonal relationships, in August 2011 Cherry Belle released Love is You, an EP with five tracks. The album was released as both a standard and deluxe edition. The band's first single, "Dilema" was released soon after and received significant airplay. Cherrybelle also performed regularly, both on television and in concert. They have also amassed numerous fans, who go by the nickname Twibies. On 8 April 2012, Cherry Belle launched Love is You, a film directed by Hanny Saputra, which detailed their rise to stardom. The members portrayed themselves. The film has the same title as the band's second single. On 8 December 2016, a mobile game called "Cherrybelle Chibi Cangkulan" was released. The game appears to be a card game and is free to play.
