On June 3, 2012, Aikawa announced that she would leave Danceroid at the end of August, due to her physical condition making it hard to participate in Danceroid activities.

With Aikawa's graduation, Ikura is the only remaining founding member still active in Danceroid. After Aikawa's graduation, 3rd generation auditions were held, which the current three members participated in. Fans voted for several days, Ikura, Maam, and Yuzuki were able to keep their places as members and on November 17, 2012, Motomiya Marie, Yakko, Manako, and Satsuki won auditions to become 3rd generation members. They left Heartfull Entertainment and joined T-INFINITY ENTERTAINMENT and released "DANCEROID LIVE DVD～Girls Be Ambitious!～".
