Trivia
- Like Shugo Chara Egg!, the four members of the group wear costumes inspired by the anime. In this case the costumes are based on the school uniform of Seiyo Academy, a key location in the series. The "royal capes" are worn by the "guardians" of the school, the student council, hence "Guardians 4." Each of the members wear the same color, although the color changes with each single released.
- Their first two singles were used as the fifth and sixth openings for the anime Shugo Chara!. Their third and fourth singles were used as the two openings to Shugo Chara! Party.
