Hinoi Team (Hinoi チーム Hinoi Chīmu?) was a Japanese female pop group formed around Asuka Hinoi with supporting members Keika Matsuoka, Hikaru Koyama, and Rina Takenaka. Most of their releases are covers of Eurobeat songs.
The Hinoi team's debut "Ike Ike" (meaning "Go, Go") went on sale on May 18, 2005 in Japan. The song was written by Italian producers Claudio Accatino, Federico Rimonti and Roberto Festari, and originally performed by Tri-Star, but the Hinoi team's version had new (Japanese) lyrics written by Kenko-P. Its rhythms were derived from the song "We Like to Party" by the Dutch Eurodance pop group Vengaboys. The Hinoi Team single also features the song "Sing Na Na Na" as well as an extended version of "Ike Ike" and instrumental versions for both songs. The DVD has a promotional video, a Para Para video and video out-takes. Hinoi Team's "Ike Ike" was also used as the closing theme for the anime Ichigo 100% and for the Chukyo TV show Sarudie during the month of April.
Hinoi Team's second single went on sale on July 27, 2005. The single was packaged with the song "Super Euro Flash" as well as a New Generation remix of "Ike Ike" and a Eurobeat version of "King Kong," as well as a TV remix of both "King Kong" and "Super Euro Flash." The DVD has a promotional video, Para Para video for "King Kong," a Koriki version of "Ike Ike" and out-takes.
The group's third single featured Japanese wrestler and comedian Korikki Chōshū and went on sale on December 14, 2005. The single also featured the song "Yeah!", "Korikki maji" & "Hinoi Team" versions of "Night of Fire" by Bratt Sinclaire and instrumental versions of all three songs. The DVD version has a promotional video for "Night of Fire", Para Para versions of "Night of Fire" and "Play with the Numbers" and out-takes.
