File:Dengeki G's Mag Oct 2016 Cover Girl Vote 1.jpg File:Dengeki G's Mag Oct 2016 Cover Girl Vote 2.jpg Takami Chika Caption: Even though I thought dates belong only to the world of dreams--- it's kind of embarrassing♡ Uwaah~, to think that the word date would actually appear in my life, it's the first time this has happened, the first time~!!! Ehehe♡ Though it's a bit embarrassing, I'm happy my first date is with you--- It puts me slightly more at ease. Even though I still have no idea what we should do, it's great that we'll definitely have fun just being together, right? Sakurauchi Riko Caption: I still don't know much about Uchiura--- so please lead me along♡ Even though you came all the way to Uchiura, I only just moved here so I'm still unfamiliar with the area, sorry for that---. But thanks to that, when I think about how that means I'll be able to see all sort of sights in this town for the first time together with you, it makes me feel extremely happy♡ It would be great if the weather was good on the day of our date♪ Matsuura Kanan Caption: A date--- It would be great so long as we could spend a day together having fun, so come on, let's go! A date, you say--- It's just, spending a day together--- right? No- no, of course I wouldn't be nervous over something like that---. Ah, it's just, I have a request. Since it's one of our rare days off, won't you come with me to the sea? There's lots of sceneries I want to show you--- Pretty please?♡♡ Kurosawa Dia Caption: To actually want a date with me--- you have quite the nerve, I admire that♡♡ To pick me would mean--- that you believe yourself to be a suitable match for me, right? --- Haha! Lovely♡ I like that confidence. When we meet--- I will welcome you with a date worthy of that confidence♡ Look forward to it♡♡ Watanabe You Caption: For my first date, I hope it's a sports date that even I can understand easily!! If it's a first date, it's definitely gotta be watching a sports game! That's the obvious choice right? That's what I thought but--- Nope. There's nowhere like that around here. What should we do... Ah, I got it! How about watching my high-diving performance? That's a splendid sport to watch too. I'll show off my Yousoro high dive♡♡ Tsushima Yoshiko Caption: You're really coming with me? Very well, if that's the case I'll just have to steal you away---♡ You want to date a demon like me? Then even if our destination is hell--- is that fine? You're just a normal human, so you'll definitely be burnt to a crisp by the fires of hell--- Hehe♡ If even that is fine with you--- Very well. I shall protect you. Let's descend to the very depths of hell---. Kunikida Hanamaru Caption: Strolling together on our day off--- I would be very happy if we could do that zura! Ehehe♡ On days off with good weather, I always take a book and go on a stroll by the seaside. And then, I would sit in the quiet shade of the trees--- and read my book. At times like those, if there was someone next to me reading a book the same way--- somehow that makes my heart throb, it would definitely make me extremely happy zura♡♡ Ohara Mari Caption: I'll dress up extremely fashionably just for you, so come meet me alright?♡ Hi♡ Thank you very much for using your day off just for my sake! I'm extremely happy♪--- No way, even though it's a date, you're not giving me any greeting hugs or kisses? In that case--- since it's sad to not have one, I'll be the one to give you one instead~♡ Hey, remember this. Physical skinship is very important on a date with me♡ Definitely, okay? Kurosawa Ruby Caption: Dates are definitely impossible... Ruby's small heart might explode from the excitement! Da-da-date--- Uhm, a date, such a thing--- it's way too early for me~!!! In the first place I'm shy--- and I'm androphobic---. It's definitely impossible... Uwaah, but if there happens to be someone in this world okay with such a Ruby, I'll be counting on you. Jeez, I will have to get married with my eyes closed---. Q: What would you bring on a date? Chika: Packed lunches Riko: Homemade sweets Kanan: Survival kit Dia: A change of clothes You: Calorie Mate Yoshiko: Demonic feather Hanamaru: A novel and a pillow Mari: Credit card Ruby: Idol goods

Trivia

• In real life, the girls met for the first time at a four-days three-nights training camp in Summer 2015 at this facility, where they practiced the songs and dances for their first single in preparation for their first live event. Some footage from the camp can also be found from their first live-stream and here.
  • It being summer, the camp was filled with bugs, especially crickets, and all of them were bad with bugs.
  • The girls bonded over making dinners together, though breakfast and lunch were catered for them.
  • The girls were also shown training by jogging on the western edge of Lake Yamanaka.
• The name "Aqours" is a portmanteau of the words "Aqua" and "Ours."
• It is revealed that the third years were the original members of Aqours before Chika took over as leader. They were supposed to debut with Mijuku DREAMER, which they wrote the lyrics on their whiteboard. However, they disbanded two years later due to Kanan not being able to sing in their performance and Mari's opportunity to study abroad.
• Dia suggested the group's name by writing on the sand, prior to their disbandment until Chika took over as leader.
• Unlike µ's, Aqours did not disband after their third years graduate, and instead they continued as a 6 member unit, however, their school was closed.
