Trivia[]
- They are described as having a bubblegum pop soft, but are also said to be a balled unit.
- Since 2019 they have since been venturing to more mature sounds.
- Tsunku choose the members and said "When I was choosing the members it was very hard for me, I wanted this group to be unique among the Fantasy Groups. Their brother group Ace of Spades are already having their major debut, that is something I want this unit to have as well. They as a group are not ready for such a thing right now, it is better if they stay as an indie unit to master their skills as idols right now. So please support them."
- In August of 2016, it was revealed that Ono Anbi's name is actually just a stage name that she made for herself when she knew she would be going into entertainment. Her real name is: Shimane Anna (島根 嗚水).
- On Lucy Park's profile, it also lists her Korean name which is Park Minah (박 미나) which names her full name Lucy Minah Park. Though Lucy has stated that she has almost always used Lucy as her name, and only has her Korean name ever being used rarely. As such she feels more comfortable being addressed as Lucy.
