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.

BEAT CRUSADERS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The world is open wide
I would like to know how come
We should be in tears
Time flies like a bird
The turning of the world
I'd like to go
even things are wrong
Last Good-bye
Time to fly
I don't think I'm lonley one
I know I got words
The world is open wide
I would like to know how come
We should be in tears
Time flies like a bird
The turning of the world
I'd like to go
even things are wrong
So long!
Last Good-bye
Time to fly
I don't think I'm lonley one
Last Good-bye
Time to fly
I want things are going fine
Last Good-bye
Time to fly
I don't think I'm lonley one
Last Good-bye
Time to fly
I don't think I'm lonley one
Last Good-bye
Time to fly
I want things are going fine
The song "Last Good-bye" by BEAT CRUSADERS is about leaving someone or something behind and moving on. The lyrics reflect a sense of sadness, but also a desire to move forward and face what's ahead. The writer expresses a willingness to go, even if things aren't perfect, and acknowledges that time flies by quickly. The repetition of the phrase "Last Good-bye, Time to fly" emphasizes the idea of closure and starting anew.
The first stanza suggests that the writer feels there is more to be said or understood about why they are separating from someone or something. Despite this uncertainty, the writer is ready to move on and not dwell on the past. The second stanza reflects a more accepting attitude towards the situation at hand, acknowledging that time moves forward and so must they. The line "even things are wrong" suggests that the writer is willing to take risks and face consequences in order to move on.
Overall, the song conveys a sense of sadness and uncertainty but ultimately ends with a sense of hope and determination to move forward.
