Trivia
- There was once a rumor called the "LOVE Machine Curse", where if you looked at the order of the girls from right to left, top to bottom, it was the exact order that the girls graduated: Ishiguro, Ichii, Nakazawa, Goto, Yasuda, Abe, Iida, and Yaguchi. Some claim that the curse was eventually broken when Tsuji Nozomi and Kago Ai of the fourth generation graduated before Iida and Yaguchi did. However, some still consider it to be unbroken, as Tsuji and Kago were not part of the group at the time the curse was established, and Iida and Yaguchi still graduated in the same order as they are pictured.
