2014–2017: Early collaborations and the release of Sigma
Before the formation of REOL, Reol and GigaP frequently worked together on creating music and vocals for Japanese vocaloids such as Hatsune Miku and Kagamine Rin. Their initial project as a duo under the Celo Project label was the album No Title, which came out on August 17, 2014. Reol's solo debut album in 2015, Gokusaishiki, achieved a top ten position on the Oricon Albums Chart.
In 2015, Reol, GigaP, and Okiku joined forces by signing with Toy's Factory, launching the collective REOL using Reol’s name. The group preserved their anonymity by incorporating anime-style artwork in their video productions. Their album Sigma, released on October 19, 2016, included singles such as "ChiruChiru," "Give Me a Break Stop Now," and "YoiYoi Kokon." Upon release, Sigma entered the Daily Oricon Albums Chart at number six.
On August 1, 2017, REOL declared plans to disband in October following two farewell performances.
