I {{nihongo|'''Vidoll'''|ヴィドール|Vidōru}} sono un [[Gruppo musicale|gruppo]] [[visual kei]] [[Giappone|giapponese]], formatosi ad [[Osaka]] all'inizio del [[2002]].
==Nome==
Il nome della band, "Vidoll", è un gioco di parole che si presta a molteplici interpretazioni, partendo dal fatto che in [[Traslitterazione#Giapponese|giapponese]] i fonemi "B" e "V" sono equivalenti (quindi la band, per un giapponese, si chiama indifferentemente "Vidoll" come pure "Bidoll"). L'editoriale che il gruppo scrive ogni mese sulla rivista ''[[Shoxx]]'' si intitola ''ヴィドールの<s>美</s>微doll'', dove il [[kanji]] {{Nihongo|美||Bi|Bello}} è sbarrato e sostituito con l'[[Omofonia|omofono]] {{Nihongo|微||Bi|Minuto, fragile, inutile}}; la parola "doll" (in inglese "bambola") viene usata in giapponese per indicare sia le bambole da gioco sia le marionette teatrali, poiché questa ambiguità si ritrova nel corrispettivo giapponese {{Nihongo|人形||Ningyō}}: il titolo va quindi interpretato come "La <s>bellissima</s> inutile <s>bambola</s> marionetta dei Vidoll.<br>
Il nome stesso della band, quindi, può essere alternativamente ed arbitrariamente interpretato sia come "Bellissima bambola" (美人形) sia come "Insignificante fantoccio" (微人形), essendo omonimi: questo dualismo, dove la bellezza dei sentimenti si contrappone con i macchinamenti del destino, si riflette anche nei testi delle canzoni e nei titoli degli album e dei tour.

==History==
===2002: Formation===
On [[February 2]], [[2002]] Vidoll was formed by Rame, who had recruited the other members starting with Tero followed by Jui and Ayano. Vidoll signed to Kisaki's Matina record label in 2002, and for their first release, Vidoll released two complementary [[Extended play|EP]]s on [[July 21]], [[2002]], ''Face Mayura'' and ''Face Pisaroto''.
While on Matina, Vidoll also released their first single, "Occult Proposal", starting a tradition of Christmas Day single releases, and contributed to several compilation CDs.
===2003===
After the Matina label shut down, the label founder, [[Kisaki]], formed a smaller label in March [[2003]], Under Code Production. Vidoll then released another pair of singles followed by an EP release, "If...Yakubutsu Ranyou Bokumetsu Campaign". The release was followed by the band's first national tour in [[Japan]], as well as their first solo live show. The band then released their first DVD, ''Doll Mansion 209 Goushitsu'', showcasing their music videos. Later that year guitarist Ayano left the band for "musical differences". Hide was recruited as the new guitarist on [[September 7]].
===2004===
On [[March 10]], the single "Wagahai wa, Korosuke Nari..." was released. This first press was limited to 10,000 and only available through mail order. This release would sell out, and a second pressing of 10,000 would later be released. On [[April 28]], the French label Mabell released "Bijinkei," an 11 track compilation album of Vidoll songs for the European market. On [[June 30]] both the single Ningyo and the Live DVD Gyaku went on sale.
The tour final "Ningyou Enzetsu" was held on [[September 11]] in front of an audience of 900, and was the final stop in their one-man tour. A special copy of Romanesque Gothic was released with a special (all black) cover. The First press (red cover) went on sale [[September 29]], along with the second press of Waghai wa, Korosuke Nari...". A live DVD of the event went on sale [[November 17]], "Ningyou Enzetsu 2004.9.11 Liquidroom Ebisu".
Toward the end of the year several more one-man performances were held, and on [[December 15]] "Mukashi Natsukashi Ningyoushuu~sono ichi," and "Mukashi Natsukashi Ningyoushuu~sono ni," were released. These two mini-albums were new recordings of songs from previously sold out releases. On this day the DVD "Ningyoukai PV" (containing two Music Videos) was also released.
===2005===
On [[January 1]], Vidoll's official fan club "Ningyou Kan" began. In March Vidoll had a One-man tour only for members of their fan club, for a total of 8 shows.
The Live DVD "Mijin Kakumei~Saishuu Kaukumei Yokokubi 1229~ was released, with over 3 hours of live footage. A special single and Music video (Remind Story) was released in two versions, the Osaka version and Tokyo version on [[April 22]] and 26th, sold at two of their one-man shows.
On [[June 8]], Mukashi Natsukashi Soushuuhen + Omake Tsuki was released. This is a re-release of the songs on the two "Mukashi Natsukashi Ningyoushuu" mini-albums, combined into one album, as the previous albums had quickly sold out all 10,000 copies. The "extra" was a music video on a DVD. On [[July 13]] another Live DVD, from their "Roman Kokuhaku" live was released.
On [[April 26]], at the Roman Kokuhaku one-man live, Jui announced that members Hide and Yukine were leaving Vidoll at the end of June. Messages from each band member were quickly posted on Vidoll's official website confirming the band was staying together. Hide's message stated that though he loved the band, the members, and the fans, the hectic tour schedule was effecting his health. Yukine left for personal reasons.
The band took one last tour "Toumeihanzai" before Hide and Yukine left on 6.26. This was a fan club only tour. The last concert with all the members was recorded and later released as a set of two DVDs through the fan club.
===2006===
On [[June 13]], two new members: Shun (of CalorZe and Gossip) and Giru (Lilith), joined Vidoll.
Kisaki, the executive manager of Vidoll's label, Under Code Productions, announced that three of the label's bands, including Vidoll, would be "graduating" from the label.
===2007===
On memorial day weekend, spring of 2007, Vidoll had their US premier at J-rock Revolution in Los Angeles, Cal. Yoshiki, of [[X Japan]] fame, hosted the event and several other visual kei bands also had their US debut during the course of both nights.
===2008===
On January 7, 2008, Megacon posted information on their official website confirming that Vidoll will be present at Megacon (March 7-9, 2008) for 2 autograph signings, 2 photo sessions, and a Q & A. Vidoll will release a DVD of their live show held at C.C. Lemon Hall on December 2nd, 2007. The two hour long DVD from Sword Records will go on sale for 4500 yen on March 5th.
