Unlike many other visual-kei bands, 12012's line-up has stayed the same and the members themselves have went by their real names (Yuusuke however changed the spelling of his first name).

The band's first live was on May 31st at Osaka club vijon titled "Empty holy night". In the following months, 12012 signed with indies label UNDER CODE PRODUCTION, and released their first single "depression sign" on July 28th. Like all the other UNDER CODE bands, 12012 had a band concept. It was called "Ningen no Naimen ni Okeru Kyouki" (人間の内面における狂気; The Inside of Human Madness).

The name 12012 comes from the California, U.S.A penal code for the possession of a dangerous weapon. Japanese fans has nicknamed them Kyouki Shoji which is the japanese word for that legal term. The band has played as Kyouki Shoji, a 12012 copy band, during the May 5th, 2009 live "SPRING TOUR 2009 HEADS UP!! TOUR FINAL All out attack". All the members had adopted different names for the "new" band.
