There is no official pronunciation of the name — which consists of nine [[interpunct#Japanese|interpunct]]s originally representing the nine founding members, although the actual number of members varied over the history of the group and ten performers have been in the group in total, albeit not at the same time — but the group has referred to themselves in interviews and online variously as '''dots''', '''dotstokyo''', '''dotsnine''', '''tenten''' (a colloquial term for [[kana]] voicing marks which are dot-shaped), '''tenkyu''' (indicating that there are nine dots but also a pun off "[[thank you]]"), and so on.<ref name="dotstokyo-first_live1">{{Cite web|url=https://tsuiran.jp/pickup/20160909/8203|title=どう呼べばいいかわからない!? 新時代のアイドル「・・・・・・・・・」がお披露目ライブを開催!正式名はドッツトーキョーか!?|work=ついラン|date=2016-09-09|accessdate=2017-05-21}}</ref> Each member referred to themselves pseudonymously as ・ (''ten''), although they also differentiated themselves online through a series of nicknames. |

In response to these themes, the group decided that they would not reveal their own names or full faces (choosing to wear black [[blindfold]]-like face masks with [[polka-dot]] [[rhinestone]] decorations), that their music would take inspiration from [[shoegaze]] and underground [[punk rock]], and that their performance would be characterised by use of technology. Live performances would be referred to as 'observations', and fans as 'observers' to further the concept that the band was a phenomenon appearing spontaneously in Tokyo. Furthermore, the band established a policy that only photographs can be taken during live shows; videos would not be allowed. |

There is no official pronunciation of the name — which consists of nine [[interpunct#Japanese|interpunct]]s originally representing the nine founding members, although the actual number of members varied over the history of the group and ten performers have been in the group in total, albeit not at the same time — but the group has referred to themselves in interviews and online variously as '''dots''', '''dotstokyo''', '''dotsnine''', '''tenten''' (a colloquial term for [[kana]] voicing marks which are dot-shaped), '''tenkyu''' (indicating that there are nine dots but also a pun off "[[thank you]]"), and so on.<ref name="dotstokyo-first_live1">{{Cite web|url=https://tsuiran.jp/pickup/20160909/8203|title=どう呼べばいいかわからない!? 新時代のアイドル「・・・・・・・・・」がお披露目ライブを開催!正式名はドッツトーキョーか!?|work=ついラン|date=2016-09-09|accessdate=2017-05-21}}</ref> |

The [[stage name]]s of all members are "・"; nicknames, which practically speaking are used as identifiers, were however changed regularly. |
|||
Each member referred to themselves [[stage name|pseudonymously]] as "・" (''ten''), although they also differentiated themselves online through a series of nicknames, which changed regularly in synch. The real identities of the members were not widely publicised during the group's tenure, but the birth names of most members are now known to the public. |
|||
Nicknames were changed on 24 October 2016, 9 February 2017, 9 April 2017, 6 June 2017, 19 August 2017, 22 August 2017, 11 October 2017, 14 November 2017, 25 December 2017, 26 February 2018, 19 April 2018, 19 June 2018 24, 21 August 2018, 21 November 2018 and 10 February 2019. |

In response to these themes, the group decided that they would not reveal their own names or full faces (choosing to wear black [[blindfold]]-like face masks with [[polka-dot]] [[rhinestone]] decorations), that their music would take inspiration from [[shoegaze]] and underground [[punk rock]], and that their performance would be characterised by use of technology. Live performances would be referred to as 'observations', and fans as 'observers' to further the concept that the band was a phenomenon appearing spontaneously in Tokyo. Furthermore, the band established a policy that only photographs can be taken during live shows; videos would not be allowed. |

There is no official pronunciation of the name — which consists of nine interpuncts originally representing the nine founding members, although the actual number of members varied over the history of the group and ten performers have been in the group in total, albeit not at the same time — but the group has referred to themselves in interviews and online variously as dots, dotstokyo, dotsnine, tenten (a colloquial term for kana voicing marks which are dot-shaped), tenkyu (indicating that there are nine dots but also a pun off "thank you"), and so on.[1]
Each member referred to themselves pseudonymously as "・" (ten), although they also differentiated themselves online through a series of nicknames, which changed regularly in synch. The real identities of the members were not widely publicised during the group's tenure, but the birth names of most members are now known to the public.

Pre-launch period
In April 2016, Girls' Tokyo Tsukurou!! held a casting call for new idol groups called "Project Idol Audition".[1][5] Themes of the competition were "idols in the post-Pokémon Go era", "idols who are always dressed sharply",[6] and "urban ghosts".[7]
In response to these themes, the group decided that they would not reveal their own names or full faces (choosing to wear black blindfold-like face masks with polka-dot rhinestone decorations), that their music would take inspiration from shoegaze and underground punk rock, and that their performance would be characterised by use of technology. Live performances would be referred to as 'observations', and fans as 'observers' to further the concept that the band was a phenomenon appearing spontaneously in Tokyo. Furthermore, the band established a policy that only photographs can be taken during live shows; videos would not be allowed.

女の子の東京をつくろう!!委員会 @tokyo_tsukurou Japanese:今日お試しでチェキ券システムを導入しましたが、なかなかいい感じな気がするので、明日もやってみます!
チェキ券の画像には皆さんがTwitterなどに上げてくれたメンバーの画像を用いることがありますので、予めご了承ください。
(………のライブは基本的に写真撮影可、動画不可です!)
I've introduced the cheque ticket system for a trial today, I feel it's quite good -- We'll try it again tomorrow!
Please note that we may use images of the members that you have posted on Twitter etc. as the images for the cheque tickets.
Basically, you can take photos, but not videos, at the dotstokyo live shows!
