Under their own style of 'Cool Moe' (Moe-kakoii), the original concept is unlike that of idol, girl's bands and other performance groups.
This Summer they have finished 3 solo shows, and from Autumn look to increase their focus on live music and artistic progression.

In addition to CD releases and performances, the group also appear in gravure, dramas and various events. Just as the word 'Moe' grew in popularity to define Akihabara's new culture, atGumi established the maid cafe as entertainment.
