9nine (pronounced simply "nine") is a Japanese idol group formed of Uki Satake, Sayaka Nishiwaki, and Hirona Murata. Formed in 2005, they are managed by LesPros Entertainment and signed to SME Records.

The band changed its music style from typical idol pop to electropop. The group's 2012 single "Shōjo Traveller" became its first to reach the top 10 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.[1] The self-titled album 9nine, that soon followed, debuted at number 8.[2] On 27 February 2019, it was announced on their official website that the group would be pausing all activities and going on an indefinite hiatus.
