Trivia[]

A・ZU・NA is...
- The first subunit whose name is submitted from someone outside of Japan.
- The third and final Nijigasaki unit to assemble^[3]. The unit was formed by Ayumu Uehara after being jealous of how the player was praising DiverDiva, and wanted to prove to the player that she can challenge herself too.
  - Although Shizuku and Setsuna initially didn't want to be part of a unit because they both felt they were better as solo idols, Ayumu won them over by coming up with the idea of the unit's theme being based around a theme park.
