According to [this
question](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/36807/was-aquors-created-
to-rotate-out-%CE%BC-s), both μ's and Aquors are real life groups.

So, I am wondering what other groups that are mentioned in _Love Live! School
Idol Project_ and _Love Live! Sunshine!!_ are also based off real life idol
groups.

What Idol Groups in Love Live have real life counterparts?


In Japan, they are generally called as _seiyuu unit_ ([Japanese
Wikipedia](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%A3%B0%E5%84%AA%E3%83%A6%E3%83%8B%E3%83%83%E3%83%88#.E5.A5.B3.E6.80.A7.E5.A3.B0.E5.84.AA.E3.81.AE.E3.81.BF.E3.81.AE.E3.83.A6.E3.83.8B.E3.83.83.E3.83.88))
