Takano Tetsu (ex-Malice Mizer), ex-Mega8Ball, ex-Zigzo), Hiroyuki Kashimoto and Kyoshii Moro. Initially, however, the intent of nil was to become Tetsu's main solo unit and even though it has become a full fledged band all lyrics and songwriting has been solely handled by Tetsu. The band only last briefly during it's first incarnation and went on hiatus by the end of 1998 and would not resurface until the middle of 2002 where they would start recording and releasing a steady stream of releases for years to come.
