Episode

Originally most of the members had long hair, but decided to cut it in order to work as a boyish girl group.
As a rule, the members try not wear skirts.
After a live had ended, Producer Hanawa said to Tsubasa " Your hair looks a bit like a mushroom." This became a joke between the members and fans as he held a Mush persona. However, he let his Mush persona go in the 4th singel.
Although Tsubasa was not initially in charge or being the group's rapper, he impressed the fans and members with an original rap song during their show HOOPERS TV. During a live fans were given the chance to vote on whether he should become the group's rapper. The majority vote was a yes and he had been given the role.
Yuhi is often mistaken as a foreigner because of how she looks
