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.

NUMBER GIRL Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
喧騒に瞬間のボーイミーツガールがいっぱい
暑く･長いインディアンサマーはそろそろ終わりを告げる
大当たりの季節が来る予感でいっぱい
病気はどんどん進む様子
大当たりはまだ来ないみたい
追いぬかれ舌打ち眼鏡くもりのちはれ
東区へ続くこの長い空港通り
同じスピードで走るおれ！！
The lyrics of Number Girl's song Ooatari no Kisetsu convey the sense of anticipation and excitement that comes with new beginnings. The first few lines describe a bustling street filled with young people on the verge of meeting someone new. The Indian summer is coming to an end, and the season of greatness is about to begin. But, there is an underlying sense of despair as well. As the season changes, the singer's health is deteriorating rapidly, and the big win they have been waiting for doesn't seem to be coming anytime soon. Yet, the singer remains hopeful and determined to keep going.
The lyrics also create a vivid image of the surroundings. The long, empty street leading to the eastern part of the city, the Jumbo jet flying overhead, and the sense of excitement that comes with feeling like you are moving at the same speed as the airplane. The song's energy and sense of determination ultimately convey the message that, despite the obstacles, we should keep moving forward and believe in ourselves.

English Lyrics:
Floating through the student-filled street
A moment of the hustle and bustle
full of Boys Meeting Girls
This long-hot Indian summer will
mark it's end soon-
A seasonal jackpot
full of premonition
Although the disease is growing more and more, the jackpot is still likely to come
The crowd follows a tut-tut-like bear
This long airport street leading to the eastern ward filled with clouded glasses.
I run at the same speed as the jumbo jet above my head !!!
Had to use google translate for this one so it might not be the most accurate thing out there. I tried altering some of what google gave me so it could be more coherent but even then, it might not be a good English translation of what Number Girl originally intended. I want to eventually come back and give my own translation since I am learning Japanese, so look forward to that in the next like 3-7 years lmao

Big Hit Season/Jackpot Season lyrics:
Drifting through the student-filled street at dusk
A moment of clatter as boys meet girls
Any time now this hot, long Indian summer will reach it's end.
An uneasy feeling comes from this jackpot season
The illness is growing at a steady pace
It seems the jackpot hasn't come yet
Overtaken by clouded glasses
This long, continuous airport avenue leads to the Eastern Ward
With the jumbo jet above my head,
I run at the same speed！!
I told you I'd come back to this haha
