Chemical pictures was formed by TenTen (later Taira Kazuhiro), ex-vocalist of KuRt. The first line-up consisted of TenTen on vocals, Joe (Saijou Yousuke) and Schwarz on guitars, and Jimi on bass. On July 20th, 2009 band released their first demo entitled "In My Dream". A few months later, on September 23rd, their first single "Präparat" was released. After that, they went on hiatus because Schwarz left the band on October 14th.
They came back on March 2010 with a new member, drummer Shiun (later Tabata Shiun) and announced that they were going to release five consecutive singles from May to September. On April 29th, second guitarist Billy joined the band, but only few weeks later he left. Next guitarist rui (later Hirai Kenta) joined the band on September 17th. Soon after that, bassist Jimi announced that he would leave the band. He did it on December 20th, and a few days later he was replaced by Taku (later Nonaka Taku). Since then the line-up had never changed.
