By 1996 (year unconfirmed), ELY-SIA ~Celestial Scene~ (イリシア) forms.
The band's start is somewhat murky. A blog post from TAKA states that he was a member of a band named Forth along with FUZI and RYUJI, and that ELY-SIA was born when drummer TARAZO joined them.
Although not mentioned by name anywhere, the band seems to have had an original vocalist who left sometime in 1996 (as they were searching for a replacement in a May 1996 issue of SHOXX).
Around this time, the band searches for a new vocalist, indicating that a previous vocalist had seceded.
Although the band is said to have formed in 1998, they were featured in an issue of SHOXX (around May 1996) looking for a new vocalist. The name of the first vocalist is unknown, but he is confirmed to have existed.
Vocalist SEITO joins.

ELY-SIA ~Celestial Scene~ was a visual kei band. They were part of the soft visual subgenre. They were active from 1996 to 2001 and are now disbanded.
This is the blog written by FUZI. He says "I enjoyed TAKA's review of ELY-SIA, so I thought I'd take the opportunity to reminisce as well".
