On December 3rd, Sadie had their first oneman called "溺哀 (dekiai) ~ As a sad matter of fact ~" in the Osaka Muse Hall in front of 250 people, introducing their new single "dekiai", which came out a few days later and the single "oboreru sakana", exclusive for visitors of their concert.

In March, shortly after the announcement of their first EP "The Trend Killer", Kei replaced Sora as the group's drummer.
