They were joined by bassist レナ (Rena) (ex-PERSONA) and drummer HIROKI (ex-Aioria, S to M). SIN left the band early on in 2003 and was replaced by HIDE-ZOU (ex-Clair de Lune, As'REAL, S to M) who had been support during the band's brief time under the name Night of the children. In 2005, レナ (Rena) also left the band and was replaced by Tsunehito (ex-ギブス (Givuss), SCISSOR) on bass.

The band publishes a magazine called Mad tea party MAGAZINE and had a radio show Night Radio “D”, as well as their own TV program called 薔薇の館 (Bara no Yakata). During the band's time together, Ruiza has released a solo mini-album titled Amenity Gain and ASAGI has released a solo single called Corvinus. ASAGI is the owner of D's label GOD CHILD RECORDS as well as his own brand Rosen Kranz which currently produces the band's goods.

3. D provided vocals to the song World with me on the Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II video game soundtrack. Due to inconsistencies in the Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II and Phantasy Star Online Episode III C.A.R.D. Revolution soundtracks booklets (D being only credited in the latter one), D is believed to be the same person as LOREN, who performed the opening and ending songs to the first Phantasy Star Online game, but there is no reliable source to confirm or deny such information.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wait your response to drive me
I get no answer
I fear you won't ever answer back
Where is my spark
Would it ever come back
I'm left in the dark
Hear my voice and come back
I feel light in me
The light you gave me
Whenever you're back
The potential rise
Trudging aimlessly
In a tiny cell
But when I'm with you I feel
The world growing
Once you fade away I won't be afraid anymore
I won't feel joy nor would I feel the pain
This is why I wanna live with you
Every single day, every moment that I get
If you fade away I won't be afraid nor alone
I won't feel joy nor would I feel the pain
I'll just stand still in my empty cell
Time won't even exist, time won't be anything for me
Whist you're with me
We should make it count
Let's make the world
Our toy, our little play thing
Nothing would matter matter
Everything's hollow hollow
Consequences are nothing to concern with
Move like you have to
Act like you have to do
Twist and turn around
Make the next moments count
Move like you have to
Act like you have to do
Twist and turn around
Make the next moments count
Once you fade away I won't be afraid anymore
I won't feel joy nor would I feel the pain
This is why I wanna live with you
Every single day, every moment that I get
If you fade away I won't be afraid nor alone
I won't feel joy nor would I feel the pain
I'll just stand still in my empty cell
Time won't even exist, time won't be anything for me
Spark, follow my voice back
I'm afraid of the dark
But when I'm with you I see
The world glowing bright
In Hourglass, D expresses his yearning for a response from someone he deeply cares about. The opening lines, "I sit in silence, I wait your response to drive me, I get no answer, I fear you won't ever answer back," present a sense of urgency and desperation. He feels lost without this person and questions if the spark in his life will ever return. He longs for them to return and bring light into his life once again. D believes that the person he is addressing is the reason for his happiness - "The light you gave me, whenever you're back, the potential rise." Without this person, D feels trapped - "Trudging aimlessly in a tiny cell." However, when the person is with him, he feels his world growing.
The chorus of the song is particularly poignant. D talks about how he will feel if this person fades away. He says that he won't feel happy or sad - "I won't feel joy nor would I feel the pain." He likens himself to a prisoner in an empty cell, where time won't even matter to him. D highlights that the person's presence in his life matters above all else - "Whist you're with me, we should make it count, let's make the world our toy, our little plaything, nothing would matter, everything's hollow, hollow." They could move, twist and turn, make the next moments count because everything falls into place when this person is around. Overall, Hourglass is about how the absence or presence of someone you care about can affect you deeply.

I sit in silence
I am waiting patiently
I wait your response to drive me
I am waiting for your reply to motivate me
I get no answer
I receive no reply
I fear you won't ever answer back
I am scared you will never respond to me
Where is my spark
Where is my inspiration and drive
Would it ever come back
Will I ever feel that inspiration again
I'm left in the dark
I feel lost and confused
Hear my voice and come back
Listen to me and return to me
I'm lost without you
I feel incomplete and directionless without you
I feel light in me
I feel illuminated and energized
The light you gave me
The inspiration and motivation you provided me
Whenever you're back
When you return to me
The potential rise
My potential increases
Trudging aimlessly
Walking without a clear purpose
In a tiny cell
Feeling confined and restricted
But when I'm with you I feel
Being with you makes me feel
The world growing
The world becoming larger and brighter
Once you fade away I won't be afraid anymore
When you're gone, I will no longer feel scared
I won't feel joy nor would I feel the pain
I will be numb to all emotions
This is why I wanna live with you
This is why I want to spend my life with you
Every single day, every moment that I get
Every day and every moment is important to me
If you fade away I won't be afraid nor alone
If you leave me, I will not be scared nor alone
I'll just stand still in my empty cell
I will remain in my confined and restricted state
Time won't even exist, time won't be anything for me
Time will have no meaning or significance to me
Whist you're with me
While you are with me
We should make it count
We should make every moment count
Let's make the world
Let's create and experience something great
Our toy, our little play thing
The world is ours to play and have fun with
Nothing would matter matter
Nothing would be of concern or importance
Everything's hollow hollow
Everything feels empty and meaningless
Consequences are nothing to concern with
Consequences hold no significance or fear
Move like you have to
Move with purpose and intention
Act like you have to do
Take action and fulfill your duties
Twist and turn around
Navigate through obstacles and challenges
Make the next moments count
Make the most out of every moment
Spark, follow my voice back
Inspiration, come back to me
I'm afraid of the dark
I am scared and uncertain
But when I'm with you I see
Being with you provides clarity and direction
The world glowing bright
The world shines and illuminates
