Sea☆A (shorten for South East Asia Star Anime) was a Singaporean-Malaysian Japanese idol group under the label Lantis Records and managing agency Horipro. The group consists of four members: Beryl (Jan 29 1991), Valerie (Feb 14 1991), Wynnie (July 10 1989), and Estelle (Dec 1 1992). They were formed in 2011 and released four singles and one mini-album. Their first album was released in 2013. The four girls were picked by Anisong Diva May'n's manager from Moe Moe Kyun Maid Cafe at the annual Anime Festival Asia (AFA) held in Singapore. Sea*A is also one of SOZO's platforms. After their debut in 2011, Sea☆A was invited to perform at the prestigious Animax Musix held annually in Japan at the Yokohama Arena. Sea☆A had their own program on Japan-exclusive Animax Studio Musix called "Sea☆A's Choice", where they introduced their favorite anime. In 2012, Sea☆A conducted a South-East Asian regional audition for new members. However, there was no new member selected in the end as the agency concluded that there were "no appropriate candidates with sufficient ability to fulfill [their] objectives of the audition". On 1 July 2013, it was announced on their official website that Sea☆A had officially disbanded. They also announced that Valerie would continue her activities as a solo artist. In addition, Sea☆A's Valerie was also the host and co-producer of AFA Channel's WOW JAPAN.
