On February 21, 2018, the Sakamichi Series wanted to make a third overall group that will change idol history, with its unisex concept that fits all genders and ages with not just only the usual musical acts, but also with Owarai comedy concept.

The Japanese version of Men in Black: International uses a song by them, titled "Konya wa Eeyan".{{Cite web |date=2019-06-03 |title=『メン・イン・ブラック』新作、トレエン斎藤がエイリアン役!吹替本編映像|シネマトゥデイ |url=https://www.cinematoday.jp/news/N0109052 |access-date=2025-04-21 |website=シネマトゥデイ |language=ja}}
