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 ↴
Oh baby, never forget my last song
'Cos nothing's lasting
Sad but true
'Cos nothing's lasting
How I'm fool
Last Song by BEAT CRUSADERS is a melancholy tune that speaks about the fleeting nature of life and love. The lyrics paint a picture of a person who is leaving their loved ones behind and asking them to remember their final song. The opening lines, "Oh baby, I won't be back for so long // Oh baby, never forget my last song," signify a departure that could stretch out for an extended period.
The chorus of the song, "Cos nothing's lasting // Sad but true // Cos nothing's lasting // How I'm fool," expresses the idea that nothing in life is permanent. The line, "Sad but true," is a poignant reminder that everything in life is temporary, even the good times. The final line, "How I'm fool," drips with regret and self-criticism, as if the singer is berating themselves for not cherishing the moment more.
In conclusion, Last Song by BEAT CRUSADERS is a poignant reflection on the impermanence of life and love. It encourages listeners to cherish every moment and to make the most of the time they have with the people they care about.

Oh baby, I won't be back for so long
My dear, it will be a long time before we see each other again
Oh baby, never forget my last song
Please remember the final tune I left you with
'Cos nothing's lasting
Because nothing is permanent
Sad but true
It is a melancholy fact
'Cos nothing's lasting
Because everything is fleeting
How I'm fool
I am foolish for thinking that anything could last forever

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 lonely one
Last Good-bye
Time to fly
I want things are going fine
