On the 1st May 2010 the auditions for EBiDAN officially started and did last until the 20th June 2010. Exactly one month later the 56 members who did it have been announced. Besides many new to the scene members also PrizmaX joined EBiDAN and from then on are seen as the older-brother-members that will guide and help the other members. In August the official blog (the same they still have) already went online and shortly after profiles of the member have started to get shared. Also they aired first videos with the members getting shown. Here are a view ones.
From 27th to 29th August they had their first live performance called "EBiDANの文化祭はまぁ〜文化のカヲリがしないのだの巻" (If anyone can translate this I would be happy!!). It was a stomp play and even has been released on DVD (I assume you were only able to buy it at the event).
The first EBiDAN Live has been held on the 22nd November and was called "EBiDAN The Live After School Vol. 1". At the concert they performed the songs "Sparkling Adventure" and "Koi no Ding Dong" for the first time. For "Sparkling Adventure" the PrizmaX member have been in focus and the mein vocalists for "Koi no Ding Dong" have been Masaki, Koichi (later from Chotokkyu) and Hayakawa Yushou (I don't know if the third name is correct).
At the end of the year (25th December) they released their first single called "Sparkling Adventure / Koi no Ding Dong". It was released in four different versions, with different people on the covers.
(If I find bigger versions I will exchange the pictures!)

On 11th March the second EBiDAN Live was supposed to be held but because of the big earthquake it has been cancled. It later was held on the 2nd April and was called "EBiDAN The Live After School Vol.2".
They even held a very small second "EBiDAN The Live After School Vol.2" on the 4th June. This concert was held at a Tower Records venue in Tokyo with only 11 EBiDAN member. Thought at this event TR2Y2 made their first apperance as a unit.
"EBiDAN THE Live After School Vol. 3" has been held pretty soon on the 17th July 2011. The Opening song was "Ikenai Taiyou" and they also played "Koi no Ding Dong".
