Psydoll, a Japanese cyberpunk band, formed in 1997. The group incorporated industrial and electropop elements with cyberpunk imagery into their musical and lyrical content. Their initial releases included Psyber Doll in 1998 and The Daughter of Dr.Neumann in 2000. In 2003, Psydoll gained recognition in the UK by performing at the Beyond the Veil gothic music festival in Leeds, leading to a mini-tour of Scotland and Northern England later that year. This exposure resulted in their signing with Leeds-based label Planet Ghost Music for their first international release, I Psydoll (2004). The band returned to the UK in 2005 for another mini-tour supporting Amen.
