In October and November 2016, they went on their first world tour that took them to Mexico, Hong Kong, and six countries in Europe. That album reached #19 on the Japanese Oricon weekly albums chart. The group released their third mini-album and major label debut, Brand New Maid, in May 2016 on the Nippon Crown sub-label Crown Stones. In March 2016 they had their first overseas performance at Sakura-Con in Seattle, Washington.

The band undertook a tour of Tokyo venues to promote the album through February 2016, culminating in a sold-out concert on February 14. The album was their first chart placement, reaching #64 on the Japanese Oricon weekly albums chart. In November 2015 they released their sophomore mini-album New Beginning.

In August 2014, they released the maxi-single 'Ai to Jōnetsu no Matador' (titled 'Love, Passion, Matador' internationally). The group released their debut mini-album Maid in Japan in January 2014, written in collaboration with musicians Masahiko Fukui and Kentaro Akutsu (the latter formerly of the musical group Zero). Since their formation, Band-Maid has regularly performed live at various venues around the Tokyo area. Their first performance as a five-piece was at the P Festival at Shibuya-AX on August 22, 2013. The band then decided to add an additional lead singer and selected Saiki Atsumi during auditions. On Jthey had their first live performance at the PP Audition held at Osaka Deep, as a quartet with Kobato on vocals. Hirose in turn suggested bassist Misa, with whom she had attended music school. Tōno had performed as a singer-songwriter and suggested her occasional backing drummer Akane Hirose for the new band. Kobato recruited lead guitarist Kanami Tōno after an Internet search. Singer/guitarist Miku Kobato, formerly an employee of a Japanese maid café, envisioned forming a band that juxtaposed the maid image with rock music. The band, first known as BAND-MAID®, formed in July 2013.
