disbanded解散add to list
A VHS tape titled Masquerade → 4th exists, possibly a live recording of their fourth live.
Aside of Masquerade's demo tapes 幻覚の華 (Genkaku no Hana) and AIR, the following song titles were provided by Seine for Masquerade and Viṣṇu: neo-nazis, 風の無い処へ (Kaze no nai tokoro e), sabbat, slave, ice, mania and end, along with an unnamed ballad. It's unknown which songs belong to which band. Interestingly, ice is mentioned in a list of Masquerade songs on warasibe.co.jp, along with AIR and two more songs, titled 静寂 (Shijima) and Masquerade.
A formation/history segment in the September 1995 issue of Viːlletté states that Viṣṇu renamed to Masquerade in April 1994, after their bassist 麗 (Rei) seceded. While the year is obviously incorrect, the month seems to be incorrect as well, since Viṣṇu held their last live on May 24, 1995.
Viṣṇu renames to Masquerade.
Fanclub "Monologue" opens no later than July 1995.
In the aforementioned issue of Viːlletté, Masquerade's first live with the lineup is dated to July 1995.
A VHS tape of this live exists.
"Emergency live" is held. As Kyo moved to Osaka and formed Haijin Kurobarazoku (廃人黒薔薇族) around this time, Masquerade likely disbanded at this live.
