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.

Ⅰslay Ⅱslay Ⅲslay
「Fuck」迷いと
「Uinthread」 悲しみ12通りに
「Fuck」分かれた
「Uinthread」
遠い昔 偉い人が 言っていたんだ
そんな言葉 ディストラクション 愚かな言葉さ
傷を隠す視線が 知らず知らずに あの娘の姿捜していた
重なっていく迷い苦しみ 消える様に
いつになったら月に行けるの?
そしたらウサギと踊り明かそう
重なっていく迷い苦しみ 消える様に
ⅩⅡ hate
いつになれば 夜が終わる? いつになれば
何をすれば 夜が終わる? 何をすれば
この手に残るあの娘の優しさだけが
今もずっと笑っていた
12の目眩 淡い夢 消える様に
耳に残った別離の言葉
嘘だったと言ってください
12の目眩 淡い夢 消える様に
「Fuck」気付けば
「Uinthread」夜の空も泣いている
「Fuck」冷たく
「Uinthread」こっちを見ていたんだ

"XII Dizzy" by 蜉蝣 is a song with a deep sense of confusion and despair, shown through the repetition of the numbers 1, 2, and 12 ("slay" and "dizzy" in Japanese). The lyrics describe the search for a lost love or a lost identity, with the singer feeling lost and unsure of their path in life. The use of the words "fuck" and "unthread" show the anger and sadness that the singer is feeling, and the repeated question of "when will the night end?" illustrates their desire for clarity and resolution.
The lyrics also reference a famous quote by an important historical figure, which translates to "Those words - destruction - are foolish words." This emphasizes the emptiness and futility of the singer's search for answers. The line "when can we go to the moon?" is a metaphor for the singer's desire to escape their current situation and start fresh.
Overall, the song speaks to the universal experience of feeling lost and uncertain about one's direction in life, while also expressing a sense of frustration and despair about the current state of affairs.
