Why@Doll, also known as Howadoru (ほわどる), was a Japanese female duo formed by Victor Music Arts in 2011 until their disbandment in 2019. The final line-up consisted of Chiharu Aoki and Haruna Uratani.

History

Why@Doll is a play on words for "white idol": "White" comes from the image of snow Shiroishi Ward, Sapporo, where they were based. The "at" sign between the two words represents the location and the duo's hope for a friendliness with their fans.[1]

Originally from Sapporo, Why@Doll moved to Tokyo in November 2013[2] and signed a contract with Version Music in 2014.[3][dead link‍] The duo debuted with the single album "Magic Motion No.5" in September 2014.[4] After releasing three singles, one mini album and one album from Version Music, Why@Doll signed a new contract with T-Palette Records in 2016.[5]

On July 17, 2019, due to Aoki's poor health, Why@Doll announced they would disband at the end of November.[6] They hosted their final concert at Asakusa Hana Theater on 24 November.[7]

On August 22, 2021, the duo held a tenth anniversary concert titled "Why@Doll One Night Only Live: Open the Page of Memories" (Veats Shibuya) (Why@Doll One night only live ～思い出のページを開いて～ (Veats Shibuya), Why@Doll One night only live: Omoide no Pēji o Aite (Veats Shibuya)). It was the first time the concert was streamed, and new songs were also performed.[8]
