They have successfully completed several notable tours since their inception, but 2007 saw a huge surge of activities for the band. Sadly, Yukine departed xTRiPx for his personal difference in music. He continued to play with the band up until September 21, where he left for good. He will be missed. As of October 1, Rucchi, their previous bassist returned to their line-up to play bass.
2009 sparked a year of "revolution" as they released their first song reunited together entitled, "Dream Catcher" which was specially limited to 100 copies and sold at their free oneman on News Year's eve. Even Yoshito claims that the song has "revolutionary lyrics". As a band brought back together, this year definitely brings hope of a new revolution from the band.
They released their first single together entitled, [-Re:evolutioN-] proving so. In April 2009, xTRiPx decided to pack up and head to the capital city for better opportunities with their music. Leaving Fukuoka behind, they never once will ever forget where they came from and hope that their fans will continue to support them back at home. Currently xTRiPx is preparing for summer tours and several lives.
2010, February 3, they released their Maxi-Single titled "Innovation[Re]Ism".
