Konno Asami joined the J-pop group Morning Musume in 2001 and is now a former member of the fifth generation of the group. Although her performance in the LOVE Audition 21 (LOVEオーディション 21, rabu ōdishon nijuichi?) has been called mediocre even by the judge of the audition and producer of Morning Musume, Tsunku, he said that she passed the audition because of her potential and the amount of effort she put into it.
She is considered to be one of the most intelligent members after her winning performance during a special episode of Mecha-Mecha Iketeru! where the Bakajo Test was given to see who was the "stupid girl" of Morning Musume.
Konno was a goalkeeper in the Hello! Project futsal team Gatas Brilhantes H.P. during her time in Morning Musume. She graduated from Morning Musume and Hello! Project on July 23, 2006 to go to a university.
Although she was officially no longer part of Hello! Project at the time, on January 28, 2007, she appeared on stage at Hello! Project's 10th anniversary concert (the first graduated member to do so), giving her last messages to Asami and Miuna of Country Musume, who were graduating that night.
On June 18, 2007, Up-Front Agency confirmed that Konno was returning to Hello! Project to rejoin members of Gatas Brilhantes H.P. in the group Ongaku Gatas. Their first single, titled "Narihajimeta Koi no Bell" was released on August 22, 2007. Despite this new group, it is unclear as to whether Konno will rejoin the futsal team. Konno will remain an active member within the agency and Ongaku Gatas while continuing her university studies.
