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.

Nakigao to hohoemi to boku wo yobugoe to

Kimi wo tsurete aruku yoru no hanabi
Toki ni naite komarasete

Shiroi yousei konya sunao ni iitai yo

The song "Sister" by VIDOLL explores the different stages in a relationship between two people, specifically between two sisters. The first few lines of the song describe the early stages where they would cry, smile, and call out to each other. The singer then reminisces about a specific night where he walked with his sister to see fireworks, and how he took the opportunity to have a deep conversation with her. He talks about how they talked until she fell asleep, and how he went back home feeling fulfilled.
The song then transitions into the adolescent stage where the two sisters are growing up and starting to have their own lives. The singer remembers walking past his sister and feeling nervous and shy despite being close. He talks about how she has become beautiful and how he wishes he could tell her that.
The song speaks about the different phases of a relationship and captures the complex emotions that come along with it. It is a tender and heartfelt song about the bond between siblings, and it shows how even though people change and grow, the love and connection between siblings remains strong.

Infancy
泣き顔と微笑みと僕を呼ぶ声と 憶えているかい?
君を連れて歩く夜の花火 時に泣いて困らせて
二段ベッド 下の君に 眠くなるまで語りかけた
あれからどれくらい時が経ったのだろう
今まで言えなかったけど
白い妖精 今夜 素直に言いたいよ “綺麗になったね、Sister...”
Adolescent
春を思う乙女心 背中合わせ すれ違う二つの視線
幼少の様に優しく出来ずに 照れてそっぽ向き合って
でも時々僕は振り返り君の 後ろ姿を見ていた
あれからどれくらい時が経ったのだろう
今夜は華に囲まれて 眠る妖精
声にならずに呟いた“綺麗になったね、Sister...”
断片的に瞼に浮かぶ色鮮やかな君の笑顔
記憶の中でいつだって逢えるから悲しまないよ
照れ隠しで 今まで言えなかった台詞
“可愛くなったね、いつの間にか…”
君の 白いウェディングドレス いつか 夢で見せて
真昼のシンデレラ 君の時間は止まった
これから僕だけが歳を重ねていくのだろう
でも君は僕にとって永遠に三つ違いのSister…
あれからどれくらい時が経ったのだろう
今まで言えなかったけど
白い妖精 今夜 素直に言いたいよ
“綺麗になったね、Sister…”

Thank you so much for lyrics

I first saw this back in 2009. I have never forgotten it. I can't understand what he's singing but you can tell he really loved his sister so much.
I don't know how he can sing while he's so sad. D:
