History

Since the band's hiatus, Shuuji started a solo project called goatbed. Makoto and Ao went to form LAB. THE BASEMENT. Makoto has since quit the band to join Cyanotype. In 2004 Kenjirou went on to join Sex Machineguns for two years and now is a live support member for Coaltar of the Deepers.
In April 2009, the band announced a reunion and the release of a greatest hits album and a live DVD. Their official fanclub also reopened in spring 2010.
The band announced their post-reunion album, 10, which was released on August 26, 2009 along with the double single, "9 -tou- hen" and "9 School Zone hen", to be released a month earlier. This marked the first full-length album from the band in 6 years.
In March 2020, Cali Gari was set to go on a joint tour with deadman. However, those dates have been postponed until May and June due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan.
