LEAVE (リーヴ) forms in Sapporo (札幌)札幌.
This formation date is said to be the date when Leyve formed. However, based on the fact that LEAVE is said to have held a live in 1996, and that Leyve is said to have appeared on a Guruguru new year's message tape in 1998, it could be posited that it actually was LEAVE that formed in 1995 -- and that they change name to Leyve at a later date.
By this time, drummer KIMIYUKI left.
At this point, guitarist TAKESHI seemed to have seceded. TAKESHI is replaced by RYOTA. Bassist SHOGO also joins.
