Ayabie was formed in the early spring of 2004 by ex-Hinawana members Ryōhei, Takehito, and Intetsu with Aoi (ex-MASK, ex-Cynical Biscuit).[4] On May 8, 2004, Ayabie held their first solo concert at the Takadanobaba AREA.[5] Their first single, Heien No Ato, Ame, was distributed at this live. Following this release was their next single, Romancer, which was limited to 1000 copies,
Ayabie's debut album was released on March 21, 2005, entitled Ayabie Sokukan Ongenshū. It includes a bonus DVD which contains their previously recorded PVs. The group, which started with only support drummers, finally had a permanent drummer when Kenzo joined later that year.[6]
In June 2006, Ayabie toured Europe for the first time.[6] In August, Ryōhei left the band permanently,[7] due to his disagreement of the band's future. After his departure, he started his own new band, "Megamasso".[1] Yumehito became the newest member of Ayabie 3 months later.[7] The band adjusted to the change by splitting song writing duties among the band members, with Yumehito writing most of the band's music.[3]
In 2007, Ayabie returned to Europe again[3] and released the mini-album Ecumenical along with many singles.
Ayabie toured in the US for the first time in June 2008, as part of their world tour.[8]

Their debut major label release, the single "Aitakute", was issued on 27 May 2009. As saying goodbye to their Indies theme, they are releasing a DVD named "The 7th colour ~Indies last tour FINAL~" this indicates that they are now going major and going into their new major theme. Ayabie are going to release their first major album '彩- irodori' on the 27 January 2010.
On August 7, 2010, it was announced that Takehito, Intetsu, Kenzo and Yumehito had left Ayabie to form a new band, "AYABIE".[9] They are currently signed to the major company TOY'S FACTORY. Aoi remained in Tokuma Japan Communications as a solo artist, known as "Aoi from ayabie".
