On April 4, their first maxi single, titled "Biological slicer", was released, and in May, 静海 (Shizumi) joined the band. With this lineup, kagerou performed many concerts around the country.
However, shortly after the band played at Meguro Live Station on October 11, MASAYA left the band, causing kagerou to go on a temporary hiatus while looking for a new bassist. The group became active again after 喰耶 (Kuya) joined as the replacement bassist. Kuya didn't remain as bassist for very long, and left the band on August 25. Luckily, KAZU filled the bassist position almost immediately, and remained in the band for the rest of its existence. This lineup would be kagerou's most famous lineup. In December of 2001, kagerou and ムック (MUCC) held a four-date coupling tour.
kagerou had a busy year in 2002 with in-store performances and many more performances from spring to summer. They toured constantly and released "XII dizzy" in early 2004. They began a long tour that ran straight until April, took a break in the summer, and then released 落首 (Rakushu) in August, followed by another tour. In February 2005 the band went on their first overseas tour to Germany and France. They also appeared at the Rock im Park festival in Germany. In October, the band ended the year with a coupling tour with D'espairsRay across Japan and throughout Europe.
At the live of September 16, 2006, at LIQUIDROOM Ebisu, they stated their disbandment. On December 27 they released a final best album, 心中歌, followed by a DVD 蜉蝣最終公演 (Kagerou Saishuu Kouen), released March 28, 2007. They went to Europe for two final tours before their last live performance on January 8, 2007.
落下する夢
蜉蝣 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
もう限界なんだ もう何もしたくねぇんだ それだけさ
今は話し掛けんな 後で電話すりゃいいだろ
人が嫌いなんだ 人が大っ嫌いになったんだ
元からじゃない 周りのせい？
それとも意思の弱さか？
迷いが巡った... だけど
I hate it I hate it
そう... 心は泣き 絶望を感じて
I hate it I hate it
俺は叫ぶ ニヤけた矛盾 アイツらの無力
チャラつく理想 アイツらの惨めさに
悲しい むなしい そんな感情だけが...
渦を巻き 止め処なく 襲い掛かる真夜中
元からじゃない 周りのせい？
それとも意思の弱さか？
ゆらゆらゆら 頭の中
迷いが巡った... だけど
I hate it I hate it
そう... 心は泣き 絶望を感じて
I hate it I hate it
俺は叫ぶ ニヤけた矛盾 アイツらの無力
チャラつく理想 アイツらの狂気
スベテイヤダ スベテイヤダ
