After that they went on hiatus because of the guitarist Schwarz, who left band on October 14th.

On April 29th second guitarist Billy joined the band, but only few weeks later he left chemical pictures. Next guitarist rui (now Hirai Kenta) joined band on September 17th. Soon after that bassist Jimi announced that he would leave the band. He did it on December 20th, but few days later he was replaced by Taku (now Nonaka Taku).
