The group's official X account posted \"GEMSCOM REBOOT!\" on June 14, 2026, its first update in about 1.5 years. The account name has also been changed to GEMSCOM. The post includes a logo and an image of four characters who appear to be new talents, all different from the original members. GEMS COMPANY was produced by Square Enix and managed by the agency Dear Stage, launching in August 2018 with 11 members. The group made a major debut under Avex in 2020 and held live performances and released music until its hiatus.
