DeAR-VeNUS forms in Hiroshima (広島)広島.
At some point, vocalist Tomoki Kitaura (北浦 智揮)'s solo project DeAR-VeNUS seemingly becomes a full band under the notation Dear-Venus (I assume this based on the fact that a "NAOKI" is attributed to be the composer on a tape where guitarist Takashi and bassist ISAO are credited to be full members, although it might have been the other way around?).
Later still, support drummer toshiyuki seemingly becomes an official member. Vocalist Tomoki (ともき) changes the notation of his name to V. Tomoki (智揮). -note
