Information

The group started in April 1990 as an F Project Planning Project under the name Golbies under the the label Epic Records. The name Golbies was from the pet name of then-Soviet Union leader Mikhail Gorbachev. Then a little while later, producer Nakamura Tatsushi would add seven more members and changed the name to Tokyo Performance Doll before performing at that year's Dance Summit concert. The group would moved to Epic's sublabel Cha-DANCE and would release all the group's singles, videos, and albums on the label.

Nakamura would beef up the group with more performances and songs little later when he envisioned the group to be like Shiki Theatrical Company and Takaradzuka-like. The group would also add another group a little later on that served as the Live Members or the background singers and dancers at concerts.

They group released their first single in 1991, entitled WAKE ME UP!!. In the next four years, the group would formed their own subunits and produced successful solo singers such as Shinohara Ryoko. The group would also be regulars on radio programs and television shows like Cymber Meme.

In 1995, all the front members would graduate from the group and would allow the Live Members to become the front girls of the group. However, a year later, the group would be put in hiatus and would later disband.
