In 2001, he met keyboardist Hora at a concert of his band Velvet Eden, and together they formed Rudolf Steiner, once again with Hime as vocalist and lyricist. Unlike most Visual Kei bands, their music didn't feature any acoustic instruments, but was completely electronic. The band released two demo tapes, Perfect Garden and Queen of Decadence before, in 2002, their unique style attracted the attention of Mana (Moi dix Mois, ex-Malice Mizer), who signed them to his independent label, Midi:Nette, and changed their name to Schwarz Stein. Around the same time, Hime changed his name to Kaya. Now thrust into the limelight, they quickly gained popularity both in the Visual Kei and the Japanese Goth scene and released two singles, Queen of Decadence and Current, as well as two albums, New Vogue Children and Artificial Halluciation, but in 2004 split up due to artistic differences. Despite the break-up, Kaya and Hora remained on friendly terms. In April 2006, they once again collaborated on a one-off project called ANOTHER CELL and released a self-titled album, for which Hora wrote the music and Kaya most of the lyrics. Apart from brand new compositions, it also featured re-arranged versions of songs by Rudolf Steiner as well as Hora's solo project. His first solo single Kaleidoscope was released in June of 2006. The CD was composed and produced by Kalm (ex-Velvet Eden). His second single Masquerade was released on september 6th, 2006. In December, he released his debut album, Glitter, and appeared at Kamijo's (Versailles) and Kanoma's (ex Fatima) three day Winter Romantic festival, together with bands such as Wizard, UnsraW, HIZAKI grace project and Sugar.

In July he released the mini album Hyakkiyakou and a fourth single, Carmilla, followed on Halloween.
