・・・・・・・・・ (………) was a Japanese shoegaze idol group. It was composed by nine members, each known only as「・」who were selected from auditions held in Tokyo in April 2016. Other than the nine middle dots, they were also known as Dots (ドッツ) or Dots Tokyo (ドッツ東京 / ドッツトウキョウ). Other names fans have called them include dotstokyo (ドッツトーキョー), dotnine, tenkyuu (てんきゅー, "nine dots"), nakaguro (中黒, "middle dot"), tententen (てんてんてん, "dotdotdot"), and ten-chan (てんちゃん, "dot-chan"). There isn't an official pronunciation, although their official homepage and Twitter handle are versions of "Dots Tokyo."
The group's music debut was しゅわしゅわEP, a three-song EP released January 9, 2017 via OTOTOY. It was also available on CD-R which included 3 bonus tracks – versions of the 3 songs featuring 初音ミク on vocals instead.
On August 16, 2017, they released CD, which is a single 72-minute-long work titled "Tokyo." "Tokyo" is comprised of the following pieces: "Tokyo1,” “Tokyo2,” “Tokyo3,” “Tokyo4," "スライド," "トリニティダイブ," and "ねぇ." "Tokyo1” through “Tokyo4" was composed by ・・・・・・・・・ with Hakobune, who also mixed and mastered it. 管梓 of For Tracy Hyde wrote "スライド.”
The group released their debut, untitled (or simply 『 』) full length album on December 19, 2017 as a free download exclusively available on OTOTOY from 21:00 on December 19, 2017 to 23:59 on December 27, 2017. It was then released on CD and vinyl on January 12, 2018.
