They disbanded in 2002 when it was announced that bassist Nakao was leaving the band, and the former members moved on to other projects - Mukai and Inazawa formed Zazen Boys. Tabuchi formed Toddle shortly after Number Girl's breakup and joined bloodthirsty butchers as an official member after being a guest guitarist for a number of shows throughout their Kouya Ni Okeru tour in early 2003. Nakao joined Spiral Chord after their original bassist left, and shortly after formed Sloth Love Chunks.
The band got back together in 2019 and release their first new song since their disbandment, "排水管" ("Drainpipe"). During this reunion period, Number Girl played a number of shows from 2019 to until their eventual second disbandment on December 11, 2022.

Bro, I completely underestimated this track.
It has this feeling of being up beat, but the production and album cover tell you otherwise, before Zegen Vs. Undercover comes in keeps up this up beat feel in the opening before having this jurasic, jaw dropping shift in tone that contradicts everything Number Girl had released before.
I wanna make a video about this album one day where I could could go in-depth about this album for at most 19 minutes and I honestly hope I do, this is such a great album

We are all drunks avoiding the
frozen city’s attacks
6 in the morning, men and women recklessly flirting
at Hirao Station
Ever since 1995
I’ve believed in myself
Those orders that came from the South
are being ignored. We are all doing fine!
