In real life, the group was formed in phases
 * 1) March 2011, the three unit leaders, Honoka Kosaka, Umi Sonoda and Eli Ayase were revealed with this key visual. People were then given five sets of possible unit compositions, and asked to vote for which members should belong in each leader's sub-unit.
 * 2) April 2011, the new unit compositions were revealed, and people were asked to submit names for them
 * 3) May 2011, the chosen unit names were revealed.

Etymology
Because of Umi's image of being 大和撫子 (Yamato Nadeshiko), many Japanese-style names were submitted.
