"A four-person JC[1] idol band formed from students majoring in the special Performing Arts Department of the St. MIDI Girl's Middle School. After the band's debut at the school festival, their attractive presentation instantly pierced the hearts of the boys in MIDICITY, and their performance attracted much attention in the industry. They strive as Student Council officers for the same school, and frequently assemble in the student council room to conduct mysterious meetings. Rumors say they've already begun negotiating contracts with a major label, but it seems like their main vocalist has not been decided yet."

Trivia[]
- Criticrista calls their fans "oniisan (older brother)" and "oneesan (older sister)." Each member has their own different way of saying it.
- Each one of the girls are associated with a specific playing card symbol, which are the following: hearts (Rosia), spade (Tsukino), diamonds (Holmy), and clubs (Jacklyn). It is unknown at the moment whether the symbols represent an aspect of the girls' character. However, historians believe that the iconic playing card symbols represented four classes during the Medieval Era. Hearts represented the clergy, spades represented the nobility and military, diamonds stood for the merchants, and clubs symbolized the peasants.[2]
- It's revealed in the Criticrista Legends manga and Band Episodes 15-20 that Tsukino and Jacklyn were scouted by St. MIDI Girl's Middle School. Holmy, on the other hand, was a regular student, but she was admitted into the special Performing Arts department after she passed the infamous "Hell's Special Course" exam.[3]
