Rame (bassist of Vidoll) teasingly began referring to the band as “Mago-Mago”. (Mago means “grandchildren” and was taken from Phantas-mago-ria.) The name “Mago” is now used by fans as well.
Phantasmagoria played their first concerts in the United States on October 21 and 22nd, 2005 at Oni-con in Houston, Texas. On March 26th, the band played their first Japanese one-man.
On February 23rd, 2007, guitarist Iori and drummer Matoi left the band. On April 5th, KISAKI announced that he will be retiring, and that Iori and Matoi have returned to the band, but the band will be “sealing.” He followed up on the announcement on a live radio show on April 8th, where the band’s first and last fan trip was revealed, as well as the final event tour and final oneman tour. KISAKI will officially retire from the active visual kei scene on August 27, 2007 but will continue to run his label and produce.
As a side note Riku, Matoi, and Jun have all started new solo projects/bands.
Riku’s new band “Chariot” includes members from Pashya, Pumpkin Head, and Jaguar. They have released a new single called “Cold Play.” You can watch the PV here Cold Play PV

Matoi’s new band “JILL CHRIST” will have thier First Live: May 5th at Holiday Osaka and their First Single: chrism…code46358
Opinion: All I can say is that I kinda cried when denial finally vanished and I realised that Mago Mago really are disbanding…I just can’t believe it…I wish it wasn’t true. It’s so unfair…
