## Trivia

* They have a phrase to chant before they're starting their live performance which was;
> ***'Genin wa Takato, Kousaku, Masaya, Ryota, Jun, Kazuto, Kaname, Orera ni Aru!'***
>
>

The meaning of it was *'The cause is Takato, Kousaku, Masaya, Ryota, Jun, Kazuto, Kaname, It's in us!'*
* They have a name for their staff which was Kansatsusha (観察者)
* Both their fandom name Kansokusha (観測者) and their staff's name Kansatsusha (観察者) means observer but for their fandom name, the meaning is more 'to measuring and recording things that change' as fans will watch the group's growth and improvement meanwhile for the staff name, the meaning is more 'to look at things carefully' as they are in charge of taking care of the group.
* Their fanclub name was Genjibu Kansokusho (ゲンジブ観測所;*Genjibu Observatory*).
* Their Twitter account (@genjibu\_sdr) once got suspended during their first album promotion so they had to come up with a new one (@gnjb\_music) which later got rebranded as the group's fanclub twitter.
