History
Cherry Belle was formed on 27 February 2011.[1] Beginning as a meeting of 2 old friends, Teguh Sanjaya & 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.[1] 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 Cherry Belle.[2] Cherry Belle was taken from two words borrowed from foreign languages, "cherry" & "belle" (beautiful in French). The philosophy behind this name was that the personnels of Cherrybelle were teenage girls who were "sweet", "adorable", "hot", & "beautiful".
After several months of training, including occasional rigorous practices lasting until 3 a.m.,[1] along with living together for a month to improve interpersonal relationships,[3] in August 2011 Cherry Belle released Love is You, an EP with five tracks. The album was released as both a standard & deluxe edition.[1] The band's 1st single, "Dilema" ("Dilemma") was released soon after and received significant airplay. Cherry Belle also performed regularly, both on television and in concert.[4] They have also amassed numerous fans, who go by the nickname Twibies.[5]
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 2nd single.[6]
On 8 December 2016, a mobile game called "Cherry Belle Chibi Cangkulan" was released.[7] The game appears to be a card game and is free to play.[8]
In August 17, 2021, Cherrybelle will re-launch as "Cherrybelle 2.0" after 5 years of hiatus by holding a new member audition entitled "We Can Be Winner".
