Trivia

<ul><li>For the 2021 April Fool's Day, they have announced the 2.5 Generation. The only member of a said generation is Hacker-san, the CTO of PRISM. He is set to debut on the 1st of April 2121. </li><li>For the 2022 April Fool's Day, PRISM Project announced that they would rebrand to "TESSERACT Project" with a new logo design. Also their fanbase would be changing from "PRISMers" to "TESSERers". On the next day, they announced they would return to "PRISM Project." </li><li>YU explained in a tweet following PRISM's closure that the reason he picked out the name was because he found a diverse range of talents during auditions that stood out like a rainbow. His intentions with the company were to turn these normally invisible beams of light into colors, just like a prism</li></ul>
