, stylized as DOLL$BOXX, are a Japanese all-female hard rock band formed in 2012. It is the side project of lead vocalist Fuki (formerly of power metal band Light Bringer and Fuki Commune; currently with Unlucky Morpheus) and the musicians of the rock group Gacharic Spin.

History

After Gacharic Spin's original vocalist Armmy left to take a hiatus because of medical reasons, bassist and bandleader F Chopper Koga decided not to cancel the planned tour dates, instead using an arrangement of supporting vocalists[1] including future Gacharic Spin member Oreo Reona, and Light Bringer's vocalist Fuki.[2] Due to Gacharic Spin and Light Bringer taking a break from live performances, they decided to form a new band, musically different from their current bands.[3]

The group's first studio album, Dolls Apartment, was released on December 12, 2012 in Japan. and January 29, 2013 in Korea.[4] They released promotional videos for every song in the album (not including the cover song Nudierythm) on a weekly basis on their Niconico channel.[5] On August 27, 2014 they released a DVD collection of their music videos, Doll's Collection.

After an almost three-year hiatus, they reunited on February 25, 2017 for a triple-bill show with Gacharic Spin and Fuki Commune, and again on June 24, 2017 for Gacharic Spin tour finale where they premiered a new song and announced a new mini-album, High $pec.[6]
