Taiyō to Ciscomoon (太陽とシスコムーン), later known as T&C Bomber (T&Cボンバー), was a Japanese girl group under Hello! Project that debuted in April 1999. They released multiple singles and two albums before disbanding in late 2000.

History

The group consisted of four members: Atsuko Inaba (稲葉貴子), born March 13, 1974, in Osaka; Miho Shinoda (信田美帆), born May 18, 1972, in Tokyo; Ruru Honda (本多RURU), born March 18, 1976, in Shenyang, Liaoning, China; and Miwa Kominato (小湊美和), born February 15, 1977, in Fukushima Prefecture. The group was created under the name Taiyō to Ciscomoon ("Sun and Ciscomoon"), but changed their name to T&C Bomber in March 2000. The group disbanded the same year after a final performance in Osaka, on October 9, 2000. The band reformed in early 2009, after one of the group's former members posted a blog entry suggesting a reformation for a limited time to celebrate the group's ten-year anniversary, and the release of their new greatest hits album. Their first official reunion was on January 9, 2009, in Shibuya. In March of that year, the group called for fans to sign a petition for a 10th anniversary live performance. In 2 months, the petition received more than 2,200 signatures. Their final live performance took place in October; however, Ruru did not take part in the performance due to scheduling conflicts with her live concerts in Japan. Afterwards, the group's official blog was ended, though it was not taken down and was occasionally updated with information about the members (though has since been removed from the Oricon site). In 2013, Up-Front Works confirmed that they will reform (minis RuRu)for a concert at Hello! Project's New Year's Eve concert. In 2015, they reunited again for a concert in Japan again, this time with Ruru for the first time since their disbandment.
