Danger Gang was formed by vocalist Waka, guitarist Hiko, drummer Rei, and support bassist Ka-e in September 2002. They didn't start touring until the following year in January and Ka-e was made an official member of the band. Their first live performance was on January 15th at the Takadanobaba area in Tokyo. It wasn't until their live on March 26th that they released their first single titled Danger Gang no theme. Not too long after, it was sold in the Tokyo area.

In June 2004, the girls performed a free live and the next month released their first mini-album, CRASH. They held a tour titled 『CRASH A DIVE TOUR』 from September through October, performing at different venues throughout Tokyo. In December of the same year, bassist Ka-e suddenly left the band, and they held a last live together with her on December 28th at the Urawa NARCISS.

In January 2005, Thera joined the band to take Ka-e's position on bass. They released their second single in July and held several lives throughout the year.

On New Year's Day in 2006, Danger Gang started off the year with the release of their second mini-album, Doku Rokku. The group then took on a heavy tour schedule and by this time they started gaining their own faithful fan base. The year ended with the release of their third single, Retsu, which was first sold at one of their lives and later was sold elsewhere starting in November.

The year 2007 started off like the previous year with many scheduled performances. In July, they released their fourth single and later, in mid-August, Danger Gang performed at the Shikkoku no Symphony festival (in which they also performed in 2006) in the city of Saitama. The 3-day festival had 15 bands performing each day and was held in the town hall. Danger Gang had the chance to perform an energetic show for their largest audience up to date. By this time, the band only performed at events, but on September 24th they held their first oneman live at Urawa NARCISS.

2008 seems promising for Danger Gang with a tour already scheduled from March through April. This girl band has one of the most loyal fan bases in the visual kei scene and they're sure to be heading to a bright future!
