PROFILE
Vidoll is a visual kei band that saw its start in February 2002 under the Matina label. Despite several line-up changes, the band has continued to move forward with an ever-growing popularity and a fan base to match. Their music, almost a genre in itself, is a blending of heavy rock, sweetly sung ballads, and jazzy upbeat numbers. One of the most successful bands ever signed to Under Code, their "graduation" from the indies label is merely another stepping stone to propel them on to an even bigger and brighter career.

BIOGRAPHY
Rame (ex. Radifia, ex. Eze:Qul) started Vidoll in 2002 with Jui (ex. Luinspear) on vocals, Yukine and Ayano on guitar, and Tero on drums.They performed for the first time in May 2002 at the Yokohama Arena Soundhall as part of a multi-band event. Shortly afterwards in July, they released their first two maxi-singles, face↑pisaroto and face↓mayura, both of which quickly sold out. The following months saw the band featured on several Matina label compilation CDs, as well as the release of more singles.Kisaki, the previous owner of Matina, founded a label called Under Code Productions. Vidoll was one of the bands that moved with him to the new label. In March 2003, their first releases on the new label hit stores with another slew of singles and a mini-album to follow.At the end of May they released their first DVD. It contained three PVs and one live performance, and then on June 26th, they held their first one-man concert at Meguro Rock May Kan. August marked Ayano's exit from the band, citing musical differences, and in December a live recording of their first one-man show was released. Hide, formerly of the band Vanilla, took Ayano's place. Taking its first steps toward an international career, Vidoll released a best-of album on the French label Mabell, introducing themselves to a European audience. Their first album, Mukashi futokoro KASHI Ningyou shuu + omake, a re-release of two earlier mini-albums with bonus material, was released on June 8, 2005. It was limited to 10,000 copies and completely sold out.Jui announced during a live on April 26, 2005, that Hide and Yukine would be leaving the band at the end of June, following one last fan club only tour [Toumeihanzai]. Shun and Giru joined as the two new guitarists of Vidoll.In 2006 Kisaki announced that Vidoll, along with two other Under Code< bands, would be leaving to join another label. No other information was known as Vidoll prepared for their next album, V.I.D ~Very Important Doll~, released on November 22nd.Although their "graduation" from Under Code Productions has passed with a performance on February 14, 2007, the band is still going strong. A best-of double album titled Proposal ~Sotsugyou Kokuhaku~ went on sale on the 28th along with a PV collection DVD, Flashback, and V.I.D seat for Lastlovers, a live DVD containing footage of their December 29, 2006 show.Their new official site just went live as of March 2007 and they are now a part of Sword Records. Whatever the future holds for them, Vidoll's success is sure to continue expanding, a dominate force in the visual kei scene.
