 Daisuke would break away from the group to begin his solo projects under the Pony Canyon label in 2005, with his debut album "Vivid" (stylized as "VIVID").The album would feature Koda Kumi, who was one of Japan's more popular artist at the time (alongside Namie Amuro and Ayumi Hamasaki).This was despite Kumi being under the Avex sub-label Rhythm Zone at the time.
