At some point before June 1996, J〔~dʒei~〕 joins Music-Trick-R.
Around this time, guitarist HIDE secedes due to personal reasons. Roadie MAR acts as support guitarist.
Very soon after the band changes its name, guitarist SHIN secedes due to personal reasons, and drummer TERU secedes due to difference in musical direction.

Guitarist KEIGO, bassist EIRI, and drummer KAZZ join. Support guitarist MAR (who was previously a roadie) also officially joins.
CLeiR stops activity
Sometime in June (after June 1st), guitarist MAR secedes. The band cancels all planned lives and stops activity as a result.
It's unclear if guitarist KEIGO, bassist EIRI, and drummer KAZZ were still members of the band after their activity pause. Either way, all four of them were gone by November, at which point the lineup completely changed.
