Morning Musume '20 (#モーニング娘。'20, read as Morning Musume Two-Zero), is the lead idol group of Hello! Project. The group was formed in 1997 on a talent show called ASAYAN. It quickly became, and currently is, one of Japan's top all-girl groups with a number of hit records and albums.

They hold the record for the most top ten singles with 66 titles as of October 2018 and the most top ten albums with 18 titles as of March 2019. #MorningMusume is also the biggest DVD seller in the female group category in Japan. Their combined CD and DVD sales exceed 23 million copies in Japan alone.

The group is known for their ever-fluctuating line-up, with "graduations" and auditions held nearly every year. As of June 2019, there have been a total of 44 members altogether (1997-present), 28 graduated members, 2 members which have resigned, and 15 generations. There are currently 14 members in Morning Musume '20 which consists of the 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, and 15th generations. Most of the new generation members who passed the audition were from the company's own idol training program: KSS while the rest had no prior experience.
