The band was formed on February 2, 2002 by Rame, who proceeded to recruit the other members, starting with Tero followed by Jui, Ayano, and finally Yukine. VIDOLL then signed with the indie visual-kei label, Matina, for a short time until the label went down.
Then in early 2003, they signed with the UNDER CODE PRODUCTION label, which is where they rose to great popularity amongst the visual-kei community. Later that year, their guitarist Ayano left the band due to musical differences. Soon after, Hide was recruited as the new guitarist.
After two years of active releases, and almost non-stop touring, Jui announced that VIDOLL's guitarists, Hide and Yukine, would be leaving the band on June, 2005. Hide stated that although he loved the band, the members, and the fans, the hectic tour schedule was affecting his overall health. Yukine left for personal reasons.
On June 13, 2006, VIDOLL announced that they would be welcoming two new members, Shun and Giru, as their replacement guitarists. Later that year, KISAKI, the executive manager of VIDOLL's label, UNDER CODE PRODUCTION, announced that VIDOLL would be "graduating" from the label.
In 2007, the band signed with Sword Records, a sub-division of Universal Music Japan. Later that year, VIDOLL held their U.S. premier at J-rock Revolution, in Los Angeles, California.
In 2009, VIDOLL became major after being picked by the major label Nippon Crown.
During the summer of 2010, VIDOLL announced that the band will be going on hiatus after the end of their "Res[e]t" tour, on September 18, 2010. The reason, as mentioned in vocalist Jui's blog, was becasue Jui needs to undergo surgery for the worsening thrombus in his throat.
In 2011, the band announced the hiatus started back in September turned to be a definitive disbanding, or a "positive break-up" as themselves stated. The reasons for the disbandment are stated to be differences in musicality, along with the businesses, which have been started by the members, which also resulted in different orientations on an individual level.
VIDOLL also released a best-of album titled "BEST" before the disbandment.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
[So I will sing this song for you] Yeah Let's go get "Blue Star"
If I could stay with you forever.There is nothing else I want.
Close your eyes...Can I kiss you?
Dime store no kabin sasatta
Takusan no zouka no naka ni
Kono hana no na ga ki ni natte
Shashin totte kimi ni okureba
Wakaranai keredo demo kirei na hana ne.
Sore yori yorimichi shinai de hayaku oide ne.
Kimi ni yatto aeta ne atama nadereba
Tsunori tsumotta fuan ha egao ni toketa...
"Anytime" boku ga kimi no mune no
Kodou kanjite ageru kara
Itsumade mo boku wo sono egao to
Kawaii koe de mukaete
Kanashimi maseru no ha tokui ja nai
Dakedo tokidoki surechigau
AH- kimi kara no meeru wo kitaishi nagara
Makuramoto no denwa nemutte matsu yoru wo koe
Saa doko e yukou? Te wo tsunaidara
Tsunori tsumotta sabishisa tagai ni kieta...
"Anytime" kimi ni boku no mune no
Kodou kanjite hoshii kara
Itsumade mo sukoshi tayori nai kedo
Kono ude de dakishimetai
Aairo ni shiro de supattaringu (spattering) no sora
Sukoshi nijinde nagareboshi kimi ni aitai...
[I am happy to meet you]
[So I will sing this song for you]Oh Let's go get it.
[I am happy to meet you] You're my destiny to me
[So I will sing this song for you]Close your eyes...Can I kiss you?
Yakusoku no jikan ni kyou mo okureta
Ai mo ai mo kawarazu kimi ni shikarare
"Anytime" kimi ni boku no mune no
Kodou kanjite hoshii kara
Itsumademo kimi wo tayori nai kedo
Kono ude de dakishimetai
Shinijitai yo... shinjite ii no?
Ureshi setsunaki koigokoro
Ano hana wo kai ni yukou
Ashita kimi ni au made ni

[I am happy to meet you]
I am elated to have met you
You're my destiny to me
In my perception, you and I are fated to be together
[So I will sing this song for you]
As a token of my happiness and affection, I will perform this song dedicated to you
Close your eyes...Can I kiss you?
May I kiss you while you have your eyes closed?
In a bouquet from a dime store,
Within the midst of many flowers
Only a solitary, truly beautiful flower
A sole flower of true beauty
Caught my attention with its name;
Its name intrigued me
Even though I don't know which flower it is
I am unsure of its identity
It's a pretty flower, don't you think?
Despite its unknown identity, it's a lovely flower nonetheless
So don't take a detour and come quickly.
Please do not prolong your journey and come to me soon
Finally, I got to meet you!
I am thrilled that we have finally met
As I lay my head on your shoulder,
While my head rests on your shoulder
All my pent-up anxiety melted away into a smile...
All my previous worries dissipated into a smile
"Anytime," I will make you feel my heartbeat
I will make you feel my heart beating at "anytime" you desire
And I will always greet you with a smile
And I will always greet you with a smile and loving voice
It's not my strong suit to make you unhappy,
It's not my nature to cause you sadness
But sometimes it happens by accident.
However, sometimes it occurs unknowingly
But as I send you mails every day,
But as I send you mails every day
I want to see you, and hear your voice...
I yearn to see you and hear your voice
All the loneliness I felt while waiting...
All the solitude I encountered while waiting...
I want to hold you in my arms and embrace you tight.
I want to embrace and hold you tightly with my arms
In the spattered spartan sky of white and blue,
In the sky painted in white and blue hues and dotted with splatters
A shooting star that blurs a little, I want to meet you...
A shooting star that appears slightly blurred, I desire to meet you
I was late for the promised time today too,
Once again, I was not prompt for our agreed-upon time
But my love for you remains the same, and I reprimand myself.
Nonetheless, my love for you is constant, and I scold myself
"Anytime," I want to feel your heartbeat too.
"Anytime," I desire to feel your heartbeat as well
Though I don't always have reliable confidence,
Even though I am not always confident
I want to hold on to you with these arms of mine.
I want to embrace and hold you with my arms
"I want to believe"... Is it okay if I do?
"I want to believe"... Is it okay if I believe?
This love, heart-wrenching and joyful...
This love that brings both joy and pain...
Let's go buy that flower.
Let's acquire that flower
Until the day when we meet tomorrow.
Until the day when we meet tomorrow
