They signed to Speed Disk in 2007, moved to Geneon Entertainment next year, then moved first to Indie PSC in 2010, then to PS Company, when they signed with Tokuma Japan in 2011. They also released their first two albums in Europe through CLJ Records and had two tours in Europe, first in 2009, then in 2010.
