They are signed to the Marder Suitcase label. == History == Dolly was formed in 2005 with an original lineup of Mitsu, Masa, Yuina, Hachi and Takashi Oshoudani as a support member. They had their first live performance in October 2005. at Takadanobaba Area and released their first single, "Screen of Indoors" shortly after as a DVD single. In 2006, their first CD single, "Pumpkin Carriage Parade", was released on January 13. In March, they released another single, "2 Ripped Sweets", followed shortly by Takashi's departure. Tsuguki quickly replaced Takashi and Dolly released their first EP, "Cynical Closet" (シニカル クロゼット), on July 26. In November 2006. they began a three-single release campaign with Ussetsu Drop (鬱雪ドロップ), and continued in February 2007. with Shinshoku Rosetta (浸食ロゼッタ) and Suisai Palette (水彩パレット), all three singles bearing the "Tricolor Opera" (トリコロールオペラ) title. Dolly's next single of 2007, "Kalmezon" (カルメゾン), appeared in stores in June. In September, they released their first full album ''Jewel's dRIP'' containing previously released singles, as well as eight new tracks. After a short break, due to Mitsu's health problems and brief hospital stay, Dolly continued their "Jewel's dRIP Parade" tour. In 2008, Dolly released singles "Closet Letter" (クロゼットレター), and "JULIET" as well the Mini Album "HeavenwOrd" as part of their "5 Coaster Cabaret" Concept; the live distributed single "Hana Uta" (花唄) and the free distributed single "Shikisai Gradation" (四季彩グラデーション). In December they signed a contract to a major label, and released the album "Primary, Premium Best" which contains "Strawberry on the Scalp", "Pumpkin Carriage Parade" and other singles and b-sides, and a new song as a bonus track "Usagi Uta" (兎唄). In February 2009, Dolly started the year with a single "Toki no Ressha" (時の列車) and a DVD "Sai-collect picture" (再コレクトピクチャー). In May 2009. the first announcements of guitarist Yuina's illness appeared, through the canceling schedule after their Fan club only lives. Being on hiatus until October, Dolly eventually put up an announcement of their homepage, where they state that Yuina will be forced to leave the band after their lives at LIQUIDROOM Ebisu in November 2009. because of illness. However, Dolly continued as a 4 members act and in March 2010. they released their next song and music video "Play", on the same day they had their first overseas performance on SXSW convention in Austin, Texas. After returning to Japan, in July they released their next song "GOTHIC PARTY". Both songs were included on their full-length album "CAPSULE" which included 7 new songs, "Play", "Gothic party", re-recording of their song "Hoshi no Sunadokei" (星の砂時計) that first appeared on "Cynical Closet", and two SE tracks. In March 2011. Dolly released their next single named "Moonlight disco" (ムーンライトディスコ) and a best-of compilation "「PRIVATE SHELL-Complete The Best 2005-2011-」" in November. They continued at a steady pace despite drummer Tsuguki's short absence due to illness, and released their next single "Koushoku no Canary" (虹色のカナリア) in April 2012. Sadly, three days after the release of the single, on April 27, 2012. Dolly announced on their homepage that they will be going on indefinite hiatus at the end of the year. However, they have released a full album before the hiatus on October 9, named "Träumerei" (トロイメライ). At the end of October they started their one-man tour "Träumerei to Kaisou Mokuba" (トロイメライと廻想の木馬) with the tour final and their last live before the hiatus being held in Shibuya O-EAST on 21 December 2012. The last live was filmed and later released as a DVD titled "Yume no saihate" (夢の最果て). The DVD was only released in June 2013. instead of planned April 17 due to manufacturing problems. After the hiatus, Dolly members have continued their careers separately. Vocalist Mitsu joined with ex guitarist Yuina for a project named DOPPEL which has released an EP "Egg knock" (エッグノック) in June; guitarist Masa released a solo album named "Life" on 30 October 2013; drummer Tsuguki became a producer for Marder Suitcase band Yazzmad and a support drummer for Masa; and bassist Hachi continued as a support bassist for various bands. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dolly (Japanese band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
