The band was fortunate enough in April to achieve a French record label, Mabell, and released a compilation album entitled Bijinkei in Europe. It was limited to 10, copies, and completely sold out. They then embarked on their first one-man tour, which ended in September.
Shortly afterwards their mini-album Romanesque Gothic was released, along with the second press of Wagahai wa, Korosukenari…. As progressed, the band held more live concerts. They ended the year with two mini-albums that featured several rerecorded songs from releases that had already sold out, and a DVD that contained two of their music videos.
However, shortly afterwards, it was announced that guitarists Yukine and Hide would be leaving the band, for personal and health reasons, respectively. In early June they released an album containing the combined tracks of two of their previous mini-albums, which were printed in limited copies and quickly sold out.
After a last fan-club-only concert at the end of June, Hide and Yukine left the band, and they were replaced almost a year later by Shun and Giru. Their first release under the new label was their single Nectar in August, and then the album V. Still going strong, the band had their first US performance in the spring of , when they performed at Jrock Revolution in Los Angeles, which was hosted by Yoshiki of the former band X Japan, and which featured several other visual kei bands who had their US debut there.

That time I felt really frustrated and was troubled about it all the way until winter.
However, when actually met with reality heads-on, suddenly my motivation went down. I mean, in order to be in a band, I quit high school mid-way.
Yeah laughs. Even though I was already at the lowest level back then, why was I hoping to be someone who is not? On that thought, I realized I had drifted off somewhere along the way. Of course, even now I am always looking up at the top, and having the intention of reaching out for my dreams.
But with the awareness that I am of the lower level, it changed my way of thinking. In simple words, I am just trash laughs. I understand that you are not just rotting away but instead trying to kindle a certain fighting spirit within you by reducing your sense of self. But why the self-deprecation to such extent?!
Because other than music, there is nothing else that I can do. However, that is also considerably difficult. Considering how as an adult, your way of thinking would have somewhat solidified, it is not that easy to suddenly change your viewpoints. However, that defiance might be the turning point that break through something. Until now, I guess we are more on the discreet side. If I first think of defense, I might not know when to attack.
At the end of the day, if I want to last long, it is necessary to go higher. Hence I thought I would narrow my vision instead. That is also one part about defiance I guess laughs. For instance, in the current music field, fan service plays quite an important role. Of course it is important to do a service to the fans that has been supporting us all this while. If I have that much time I might as well spend it on making better songs and practicing more.
I believe there are actually a number of people who feel the same way…However, not many are able to voice it so bluntly. I mean, criticisms can be daunting. Of course it is important to do the things needed in order to spread our music, but I think we should discard the consideration of whether something is cool or uncool. Also, through music, I managed to create a point of view for myself, and to have that destroyed is something I would really hate to see happen.
I managed to express better the things I want to say on stage. Originally, maybe that should be the form of a musician. CDs are not selling well, music TV shows and music magazines are also less commonly seen. Of course, as a professional working in the field, it is impossible to go on without some form of returns, but it would be wrong to focus just on that.
Even without overdoing things, if you are drawn to something through music, there will be people who feel the same way. Those are really strong words. After forming a new perspective, it seems that Jui-san has become a more unwavering person. No, I do waver quite a lot. I get really indecisive when it comes to shopping for clothes.
In the end, I ended up not buying anything. Well then, to change my words, I get the impression you are a really firm person. Though, for myself, I feel I am rather brash to the point of insensitiveness. In he joined the indie band Luinspear that also housed Nightmare member Ruka. Sadly the band saw its end in In , Jui joined the visual Kei band Vidoll who saw major success. During this time Jui was also involved in the Kisaki Project band along side band mate Rame.
In , however, the band decided to part ways due to musical differences. The original line up consisted of Shingo on bass, Jun on guitar, Toya on guitar and him as the vocalist. The band has never had a drummer and has used supports.
