The band's official fanclub, 999.9[four-nine], opens.
It's confirmed that kin-t and TAKASHI are the same person, but it's unclear when he changed his name.
There's also some confusion about the romanization of his full name, 金内孝史; it can be romanized as Kinuchi Takashi (which would explain the moniker kin-t), but he is credited on hide's albums as Kaneuchi Takashi. Details are unclear.
By this time (at the latest), kin-t is bassist, Takahashi “ROGER” Kauzhisa (高橋“ROGER”和久) is support drummer, and Nakao Masafumi (中尾昌史) is support keyboardist.
