In February 2010, Kanon left the group and Hinaki Yano joined.

On February 14, 2010, EbiChu released their first indie single, "Asu no Chime ga Narimashita" ("The Morning Chime Has Rung!"), featuring two cover songs. The original CD cover features the six girls who sang on it, and the "New Jacket Version" issued later features the twelve girls from the TOKYO IDOL FESTIVAL 2010 lineup. On April 10, 2010 Aika Hirota joined, followed by Mirei Hoshina, Rio Koike , Suzuki Hirono and Rina Matsuno on May 22. On August 7 and 8, EbiChu performed at TOKYO IDOL FESTIVAL 2010.

The group performed as special guests on Momoiro Clover's tour, which was filmed on April 10. On April 17, 2011 Hinaki left the group.
