In Spring 1994 (allegedly), session band Bakebakezoku (化け化け族) (バケバケゾク) is formed by KISAKI.
This Spring 1994 formation date comes from the insert of a demotape which may or may not be fake. The first confirmed performance by the session was in November 1995.
At this live, the session apparently played covers of D'ERLANGER and LUNA SEA.
According to KISAKI's history book, he participated in an unknown session on November 18, 1995 at Hirakata BLOW DOWN (枚方ブロウダウン). Additionally, there exist photos of Kyo (京) at some unknown livehouse on November 18th. Both musicians were in Haijin Kurobarazoku (廃人黒薔薇族) at the time, but that band is not known to have performed on November 18th; with that being the case, it's possible (but not confirmed) that Bakebakezoku (化け化け族) performed on this day as well.

A bootleg DVD-R of this live was sold years later, and it credited the band as Bakebakezoku (化け化け続) (pronounced the same as the original name but meaning “bakebake returns” instead of the original “bakebake family”). However, a flyer advertising the event used the original name. The session's 2001 live is confirmed to have used the Zoku (続) {returns} moniker, but details about this 1998 performance are unclear.

The band performs as Bakebakezoku・Zoku (化け化け族・続)—see note from 1998.
Although not explicitly billed as Bakebakezoku (化け化け族), KISAKI, Haruhi (春陽), and original drummer YOMI perform as a session at the GLAM POP WORLD event. Given the lineup and the fact that Bakebakezoku (化け化け族) was often referred to as “KISAKI & Haruhi (春陽) session,” it's possible that this performance was a continuation of the session.

Bakebakezoku (化け化け族) was a visual kei continuous session. They were active from 1994 and are now disbanded.
