The 14th single from the band, "Remember", was released on October 15, 2008 and is their final single featuring Mākii. The band transferred to Spice Records on January 1, 2009. Spice Records was an Okinawa based studio that maintained minor rights to the band while under SME. The first live DVD from the band was released on January 25 and reached the 11th spot on the Oricon weekly DVD charts, reaching a peak of 9th on the daily charts. After the departure of Mākii, the band began auditions for a replacement vocalist; the auditions were open to women for a month before call backs and performances were done. On February 9, 2009, the band announced that a replacement vocalist was found, whose information would soon be added to their website after an extensive overhaul. The band planned to begin working on a summer single and live tour to promote the new vocalist in May. The first single, titled "XYZ", featuring the band's new vocalist Halca, was released on iTunes in both Japan and Australia on July 8, 2009. The band released their fifth album, "Swamp Man", on September 2, 2009 and took the 25th spot on the Oricon charts on its release date. Following the release of the album, High and Mighty Color released a tribute song for two popular manga named "Red". The song was released digitally in Japan on December 9, 2009 and re-released December 23, 2009 on iTunes Japan and Japan Files. On March 13, 2010, the band was scheduled to give a live concert with Halca, titled "Night Light Parade Vol. 1.1: One of the New Beginning" at Shibuya Club Quattro in Tokyo. It was announced on May 19 that on August 11 High and Mighty Color would release a single, "", which would be the band's last. Explaining the breakup, band members cited "musical differences" and "future opportunities". "Re:ache" contained three new songs, with four songs in total, the fourth being a live rendition of "Red". The single was bundled with a DVD of the music videos for "Re:ache" and "Good Bye", as well as live recordings of their American concert from Sakura-Con 2010. After the band broke up, the members began separate activities. In 2017, Mackaz and Sassy reunited with Mākii to form the new band DracoVirgo.
