They were joined by bassist レナ (Rena) (ex-PERSONA) and drummer HIROKI (ex-Aioria, S to M). SIN left the band early on in 2003 and was replaced by HIDE-ZOU (ex-Clair de Lune, As'REAL, S to M) who had been support during the band's brief time under the name Night of the children. In 2005, レナ (Rena) also left the band and was replaced by Tsunehito (ex-ギブス (Givuss), SCISSOR) on bass. D was on their own independent label GOD CHILD RECORDS until in 2008 when they signed with major label Avex Trax. In June 2011 they ended their contract with Avex and their management to return to their own label once again. The band publishes a magazine called Mad tea party MAGAZINE and had a radio show Night Radio “D”, as well as their own TV program called 薔薇の館 (Bara no Yakata). During the band's time together, Ruiza has released a solo mini-album titled Amenity Gain and ASAGI has released a solo single called Corvinus. ASAGI is the owner of D's label GOD CHILD RECORDS as well as his own brand Rosen Kranz which currently produces the band's goods. After celebrating their 20th anniversary in 2023, ASAGI announced the band was planning to go on hiatus, with no news on whether they would return. D performed their last concert in March 2024.

3. D provided vocals to the song World with me on the Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II video game soundtrack. Due to inconsistencies in the Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II and Phantasy Star Online Episode III C.A.R.D. Revolution soundtracks booklets (D being only credited in the latter one), D is believed to be the same person as LOREN, who performed the opening and ending songs to the first Phantasy Star Online game, but there is no reliable source to confirm or deny such information.
