Idoling!!! (アイドリング!!!, Aidoringu!!!) was a Japanese TV show[1] with attached female idol group created by Fuji TV. The concept of the group was to watch as the girls grow as idols and experience various things. Idoling's main source of exposure was their TV show, which aired several new episodes every week on FUJI TV ONE, with more than 1000 episodes broadcast since October 30, 2006.[2][3] Over the years of the show, Idoling!!! released 7 studio albums, 24 singles, collaborated with other idol groups (such as AKB48), released DVD specials and gave many live performances and concerts. The group officially disbanded on October 27, 2015, with the graduation of all remaining members.

Karlin -Idols and Celebrity in Japanese Media Culture 2012 - Page 24 "This was the brainchild of a producer at Fuji TV who had been involved with the program Idoling!!! (2006–), and was intended to create (1) a stream of new idols in Tokyo, (2) a new relationship between idols and media, and (3) the world's the world's largest "trade show" for idols. The first event featured 49 idol groups and attracted over 5,000 people"
