SHËY≠DË (シェイド) is formed by Kisaki in Osaka (大阪)大阪.
Due to several faked demotapes being sold at auction, there is a theory among some message board users that KISAKI's early bands did not exist. However, they have all been 100% confirmed to exist via flyers and other material from the time.

First live is held. A 200-copy-limited demotape is freely distributed to those who fill out the band's enquete.
Beginning(?) at this live, a 100-copy-limited demotape is freely distributed at lives. It's unclear if this is just leftover copies of the earlier demotape, or if it's a different one.
Around this time, drummer Myó seems to have officially seceded (but potentially continued as support drummer).

Vocalist Kyuuchan (きゅうchan) and guitarist Shio (紫緒) secede. The group disbands as a result.

Around this time, a flyer is distributed—possibly at the October 1st live that isn't confirmed to have taken place?—with a message from Kyuuchan (きゅうchan) and Shio (紫緒) saying that they thought their secession live went really well, and that the band is accepting mail-order purchases of a video with footage from that live.
With former members helping to advertise a release, it seems that the secession was on good terms.
SHËY≠DË temporarily revives.
First revival live is held. A demotape is freely distributed to attendees.
KISAKI's official website says that the band performed on 1994-10-01 at Hirakata (枚方) BLOW DOWN, but first hand sources from the time do not mention any lives between 09-23 and 11-08. The website gets several other dates wrong, so the 10-01 date may have been in error.
Support vocalist Yuma (優舞) and support guitarist HIKARU begin support.
Last live is held.
SHËY≠DË disbands (again)
One-day revival is held with original lineup.
