In the days after, Pour Lui posted more pictures with censored faces first identifying the member censored with the colour blue as "Ao-chan (pseudonym)".

History

On January 6th, 2020, Pour Lui announced on twitter that she was going to celebrate her tenth year of being an idol by founding her own company, PourPourLand, and producing a new unit that she would also be a member of. WACK CEO Watanabe Junnosuke would also invest in the group's formation.

Audition interviews took place at WACK's headquarters on February 2nd for women aged 18 to 29. During the audition process, Pour Lui kept a daily vlog on her personal YouTube channel where she talked about her progress in forming the group. On February 29th, auditions were opened again after one of the audition winners quit before debut due to family issues.

The group was scheduled to record their debut music video on March 3rd, and invited fans to participate in the filming. However, this was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic causing government-imposed limits on public events. When most of Japan began self-isolating from the outbreak in early April, Pour Lui revealed on twitter that she and the other members of the group were living together. She also gave fans their first glimpse of the new unit; a photo of the members in an apartment, with their backs to the camera and heads hastily-censored.

In the days after, Pour Lui posted more pictures with censored faces first identifying the member censored with the colour blue as "Ao-chan (pseudonym)". While the other members were later identified by various coloured heart emojis, as Ao means "blue" it can be assumed the other pseudonyms correspond with Japanese female given names that correspond to the colour of their emoji. The one exception to this is Pink, who's name is literally just the English word "pink".
