MÄZERÄN (マゼラン) forms in Osaka (大阪)大阪.
Several member changes occur during the year, but details are unclear. Vocalist HONEY is replaced by TOSHIO, and bassist JIRO is replaced by ICHIRO. Secondary guitarist TELLY (a.k.a. TERRY) secedes, but is not replaced.
According to some sources, the initial drummer was TOMMY, but this is unconfirmed. MISSY seems to have been drummer by the time that second vocalist TOSHIO joins, and PUSSY.M (lol) is the confirmed drummer by October.

At least one source states that the drummer at this time is TOMMY, presumably having re-joined to replace PUSSY.M. Details are unclear.
Vocalist TOSHIO KITANAKA secedes sometime after the release of MOVING LIPS, and the band pauses activity afterward.

MÄZERÄN resumes activity.
The band is revived by guitarist SHOJI, with new drummer SOICHIRO, vocalist TIMMY, secondary guitarist BRAD, and bassist GLENN (the latter three of whom are from America).
Later in the year, vocalist TIMMY is replaced by DAVID (also American). It seems that secondary guitarist BRAD might have seceded around the same time, as the band was only known to have four members at this time.

Bassist GLENN seems to have seceded around this time: he's present in the cover art for the band's self-titled album released during this month, but is absent in its credits.
Sometime after the release of the band's self-titled album, vocalist DAVID secedes. The band presumably breaks up as a result.
