The momentum from this carried on with the single "NEVER POP ENOUGH e.p." which quickly climbed up the independent CD charts of various shops in Japan. Around a month later, they released their first mini-album "HOWLING SYMPHONY OF..." which both rapidly climbed the charts and received critical acclaim from the music press. After this, the band started to tour more extensively, thanks to various offers from bands within the Japanese alternative music scene. They then released their second single "FIRESTARTER" which was released in 2000 and then followed it up with the full-length album "ALL YOU CAN EAT" along with involvement in various compilation albums and split mini-albums with various independent groups while still releasing their own albums and singles.
In August 2003, three of the four original members of BEAT CRUSADERS left the band, leaving behind only Hidaka. He quickly recruited four new members, who form the current line-up of the group. The three members that left went on to form ANITA CHILI PEPPERS. The current line-up of the band is: ヒダカトオル (Hidaka Tooru) - Vocal & Guitar, クボタマサヒコ (Kubota Masahiko) - Bass, カトウタロウ (Kato Taro) - Guitar, マシータ (Mashiita, Maseeta) - Drums and ケイタイモ (Keitaimo) - Keyboard.
In 2004, the group was finally catapulted into the major-label music scene, thanks to the release of the song "HIT IN THE USA" which was used as the opening theme for the anime "BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad" and also allowed a number of their songs to be covered in the same anime. They have also had the song "TONIGHT,TONIGHT,TONIGHT" used in the anime "BLEACH" and in 2006 they made their first American appearance, thanks to the song "Hey×2 Look×2" which was used as the opening theme song to the Nicktoons animated series "Kappa Mikey".
Confirmation from Toru Hidaka that Beat Crusaders Broke-up 4th September, 2010.

Watching you survive
I don't mean to tell you something
Nothing's gonna really made you down

Something you devide
I just wanna tell you something

Watching you survive
I don't mean to tell you something
Nothing's gonna really made you down
Here we have
Something you devide
I just wanna tell you something
Nothing's really matter where you are

The lyrics of BEAT CRUSADERS' song "Deride" seem to be a message of encouragement and support to the listener. The singer, possibly addressing a friend or a loved one, is watching them survive through some kind of struggle or hardship. He acknowledges that something has divided them, but he wants to communicate that nothing really matters where they are. The repetition of "It's all right so, I don't think so" in the chorus might suggest that the singer thinks the friend is not as okay as they claim to be, despite their attempts to put on a brave face.
Overall, the song seems to be offering reassurance to someone who may feel downtrodden or overwhelmed. The words "Nothing's really gonna bring you down" and "Nothing's really matter where you are" suggest that the singer believes in the listener's resilience and ability to overcome their challenges with a little bit of support and positivity.
