After the band's first dissolution in 2004, vocalist Akito started Couple d'Ange with Tsuyoshi, Kohsuke and Yue, but soon revived AILE (formerly known as Aile) with the said three members. Support member Sai joined after few months.
Both Yue (now part of Berry Bell) and Sai left the band in 2006, and AILE went on an indefinite break. In early 2007 they returned with Moe and A~ya (ex.
