Dotstokyo

dotstokyo (stylized as ・・・・・・・・・) was a Japanese idol group active from 2016 to 2019.

Name and members

There is no official pronunciation of the name – which consists of nine interpuncts originally representing the nine founding members, although the actual number of members varied over the history of the group and ten performers have been in the group in total, albeit not at the same time – but the group has referred to themselves in interviews and online variously as dots, dotstokyo, dotsnine, tenten, tenkyu (indicating that there are nine dots but also a pun off "thank you"), and so on.

Background A group members were selected at the Let's Create Tokyo for Girls!! Project Idol Audition held in April 2016.

All members are often given nicknames (identification symbols). "・(dot) is a new type of idol that can be in any form. It can become sound, light, smell, taste, vibration, symbols, words, 2D or 3D, inorganic or living things. Sometimes it takes the shape of a girl, and this state (the condition of a girl who actually meets at the scene with some kind of sunglasses and her face is hidden) is・(dot) chan.

The song follows shoegaze and underground punk, and features performances using technology. Live shows are called observation and fans are called observers or dotchers (dot + watchers).

Live activities ended with the solo show Tokyo in Natural Machine on March 24, 2019. In terms of the concept, there is no definition of graduation or disbandment, and it is described as returning to the city without taking the form of a girl."@tokyo_tsukurou tweet on 2019-02-04". Retrieved February 28, 2025 The management team supports the activities of RAY, which was formed in the same year, and solo career of Uchiyama Yua, an ex-member of group.
