Group's Name Meaning
The name of the group was decided between different options sent by the fans, and it was announced in their first event in Shanghai. This is the explanation behind the name: Exceed means to go beyond. Ex, stands for Expo. The Shanghai world expo is to exceed the boundary of race and country. Ceed, also sounds like "seed". With their sweet voices and happy dances, I hope the four girls can give joy to everyone in China and the rest of the world with their happy "seed". And from that seed, grow into a strong tree. "!" represents the ! in Hello! Project. Also, Ex-ceed! sounds cool.

The unit performed in Shanghai in June 22nd and 23rd and they're going to perform in China for the "Shanghai Expo" again from October 27th to 28th for more 3 performances scheduled.
