The band was forced to disband due to their graduation. Both previous students built the band "Milk@Coffee". According to them, the purpose of their music was just a way of life.

She listened to our music, through friends' introduction. " Milk@Coffee joined Modern Sky Company, and debut by the album "Burn! Little Universe".

Their music is just like milk coffee, fresh and mellow. Unlike others, Ge Fei (Keyboard / guitar / arranger and producer) has perfect skills in playing the piano and the guitar, makes their music classical and romantic. Kiki, the lead singer & lyricist, has sweet voice. Also, the lyrics she writes are very lovely.[3]
