decided not to cancel the planned tour dates, instead using an arrangement of supporting vocalists including future Gacharic Spin member Oreo Reona, and Lightbringer's vocalist Fuki. Due to Gacharic Spin and Light Bringer taking a break from live performances, they decided to form a new band, musically different from their current bands. The group's first studio album, '' Dolls Apartment'', was released on December 12, 2012 in Japan and January 29, 2013 in Korea. They released promotional videos for every song in the album (not including the cover song Nudierythm) on a weekly basis on their Niconico channel.

After an almost three-year hiatus, they reunited on February 25, 2017 for a triple-bill show with Gacharic Spin and Fuki Commune, and again on June 24, 2017 for Gacharic Spin tour finale where they premiered a new song and announced a new mini-album, ''High $pec''.
