Career
editSuper Girlies started their career on February 14, 2011, with their original line-up composed of Atu, Kinang, Laras, Mega, Opie, Sarah and Yui.[8] Their first single, Malu Malu Mau, was released that year. The single was widely criticized on internet forums, especially by Hello! Project fans due to its heavy similarities with a single titled Rival released by Japanese idol girl group Berryz Kobo, a subgroup of Hello! Project.[9][10] While the music video of the single itself used original concept and direction.[11]
Their second single, Aw Aw Aw, was released near the end of 2011.[12] The single proved to be their most successful single to date and is considered as their signature song,[13][14][15] with its music video has gained over 3.7 million views on YouTube.[16] During the making of the music video, Atu was physically unfit and temporarily replaced by Rey for the video shoot. Rey shortly afterward left the group.[15] Due to its popularity, in 2012 the single was picked as the opening theme of Indonesian teen soap opera Yang Masih di Bawah Umur (English: The Underage) which aired on RCTI, where the group also made cameos in some episodes of it.[17][18]
On January 25, 2012, the group unexpectedly received the Outstanding Girlband Award at the 2012 Dahsyatnya Awards, beating the likes of already well-known girl groups such as 7icons and Cherrybelle.[19][20] However on April, the group saw a change of its original line-up, when Yui left the group due to an unspecified health reason, she was then subsequently replaced by Uty.[21] In the middle of 2012, Super Girlies released their third single, Missing You, a remake version of the original soundtrack of Indonesian teen soap opera Cinta Cenat-Cenut 2.[22] Later that year, the group released their fourth single, Hip Hip Hura.[23] The single was originally released by famous Indonesian singer Chrisye in 1985, while the cover version by the group is remade with new J-pop arrangement and feel.[24]
