Kawatani formed the band out of people he respected, and had enjoyed performing with.〔 Kawatani concurrently worked as the vocalist and songwriter for Indigo la End, a band he had been a member of since 2009. Of the members, he chose Kyūjitsu Kachō, who was a former member of Indigo la End, as well as Chan Mari and Hona Ikoka, from the bands Crimson and Microcosm respectively. The members had known each other since early 2010, from performing together at different events at the Shimokitazawa Era live house in Tokyo. They saw the project as more for fun, aside from their usual musical endeavours. The band name came from a custom tote bag that Chan Mari had brought with her to the recording studio, which had been created by a friend of hers who attended art school.〔 Indigo la End released their debut album ''Yoru ni Mahō o Kakerarete'' in February 2013. Two months later saw Gesu no Kiwami Otome's first release, the extended play ''Dress no Nugikata'', which was recorded in only two days.
