Takane no Nadeshiko(高嶺のなでしこ) is a ten-member idol group formed through the JDOL AUDITION program (supported by the people who run the TOKYO IDOL FESTIVAL project). In July 2022, seven members were chosen out of thirty-six finalists; them being Kizuki Nao, Suzumi Su, Hazuki Saara, Haruno Riri, Higashiyama Erisa, Hinahata Hina and Hoshitani Mikuru. Additionally, three idols from the now-discontinued LAST IDOL project (Hashimoto Momoko, Matsumoto Momona and Momiyama Himeri) later joined the initial seven to create Takane’s final lineup.
