aren't they one of the newest Stardust's groups?

(off topic but one of the members of their predecessor group Rock A Japonica was the little sis of one of the members of SILENT SIREN)

any reason why they decided to disband?

Momoclo-Chan Z × PUI PUI Molcar - PUI PUI Wa Tomaranai​

Yes, they were formed in 2019 after Rock A Japonica disbanded.
Yes, Ami. They have had art exhibits together.

Spoiler

The group disbanded because Chiho wanted to focus on solo activities. And they didn't feel like continuing as only 3 members.
2 of the members are very young so they might join a new group.

I think this might be their catchiest song, it was the first I heard
