Famous for

She originally started out as a solo singer in 2002 under the idol family Hello! Project, often called by fans as Aya Matsuura's rival, but in fact, they are the best of friends. After a successful performance on the music program on New Year's Eve, "Kōhaku Uta Gassen", producer Tsunku added her to Morning Musume as a sixth generation member in 2003.

Miki sings a lot of the lead lines in Morning Musume songs, especially after Natsumi Abe's graduation. She and fellow Morning Musume member Asami Konno are also lent to Country Musume, a group that features "Country Girls from Hokkaidō", such as Miki and Asami (the group has been known, however, to include members not from the rural island--such as former featured singers Rika Ishikawa and Miuna Saito).

In October 2002, she formed the group Gomattou with two other prominent pop soloists under Hello! Project, Maki Goto (a former Morning Musume member), and Aya Matsuura. She was also in H!P Shuffle groups Odoru 11, 11 Water, H!P All Stars and Sexy Otonajan.

In 2003, when Morning Musume split into two groups, she was placed in Morning Musume Otomegumi.

On 15 June 2006 it was announced that Miki Fujimoto and Aya Matsuura would join together in a new Hello! Project duo called GAM. Their debut single was released on 13 September 2006,[1] and after two other singles, their debut LP was released on May 23, 2007.

On May 6, 2007, after the graduation of then-leader Hitomi Yoshizawa, Fujimoto took her place as the fifth leader of Morning Musume.

On May 24, 2007, Fujimoto was rumoured to be in the latest edition of the Japanese gossip magazine Friday —the same magazine responsible for the cancellation of Ai Kago's contract— pictured walking with Shōji Tomoharu, a member of the comedy duo Shinagawa Shōji. Friday explains that they had a two-hour dinner together, drove to Fujimoto's apartment, then went to the sauna, returning to Shouji's apartment just after midnight.[2] It soon became apparent that she was to be involved in a scandal that would jeopardize her position in Morning Musume. After seeing the article, Up-Front Agency had no intention to deal with the situation since there was no proof of them dating.[3]

On the May 26, 2007 edition of Young Town Doyōbi (a radio show with Ai Takahashi, Fujimoto and Sanma Akashiya), she confirmed that the pictures were of her, and that she had been going out with Shōji Tomoharu. She also mentioned that she was going to talk to the head of Up-Front Agnecy, Naoki Yamazaki about the situation.[4] Her position in Morning Musume and GAM is under speculation with confirmation expected soon.
