Its original 4 members were chosen from a Bemani Audition set by 前田尚紀 (Naoki Maeda), and debuted as BeForU in 2001 with their first song DIVE, which was notable as being the first J-Pop song in the Dance Dance Revolution series. Originally formed by 小坂りゆ (Riyu Kosaka), Noria, 代真 (Yoma) and 前原しゆな (Shiyuna Maehara), after the departure of the last in 2004, auditions were made again and 3 new members joined: 南さやか (Sayaka Minami), 外花りさ (Risa Sotohana) and 有沢みはる (Miharu Arisawa), known as the BeForU NEXT.
In 2006, they were signed to the Avex label, and released their first major single Red Rocket Rising later that year. In 2007, due to personal problems and health problems, Yoma and Miharu Arisawa left the group, and on December 30th of the same year, Noria and Risa Sotohana had their "graduations" from BeForU, to start their upcoming solo careers. On January 2008 were introduced three new members, 立花彩野 (Ayano Tachibana), 西内裕美 (Hiromi Nishiuchi) and 福下恵美 (Megumi Fukushita). In April 2008, Sayaka Minami left the group, leaving Riyu, Ayano, Hitomi, and Megumi as the final members of BeForU. In October 2009, their official site got closed, and as their major contract ended, apart from the start of Riyu Kosaka's start as a "free" artist announcement, future plans for BeForU got unknown, leading into an undefinite hiatus for them.

sunao ni naru watashi ga
Kono kimochi sou mono da to

On my journey with you
I've become honest,
I've finally realized
These feelings I have.
I have so many feelings hidden
that they're overflowing.
I can't keep it a secret anymore
I won't avert my eyes.
I'm embracing the tension of my feelings,
A reflection towards you.
The passion illuminated by my naked body
Just like that, Evolution
The world may stop, but I can't be stopped anymore
I'm diving into this night
DIVE TO THE NIGHT
I just want "you" alone
to turn around and look at me.
I can't restrain my feelings,
I want to tell you now.
Love is a painful emotion,
A reflection towards me.
That same voice as always is a sensation
Today I'm definitely gonna take a chance with you.
My feelings are piercing
through my heart, going towards you...
Changing inside my heart,
After this Revolution
The world may stop, but I can't be stopped anymore
I'm diving into this night, DIVE TO THE NIGHT
Time may stop, but I can't be stopped anymore
I'm flying across this night, DIVE TO THE NIGHT
Time may stop! But love is unstoppable!
I'm diving into this sea
Deeply into you now!
Keep on Lovin', stop my heart
I can't be stopped anymore
I'm diving into this love, DIVE TO THE NIGHT
The world may stop...!
I'm diving into this love, DIVE TO THE NIGHT

BeForU was the First-EVER JPop group I became a fan of and singlehandedly turned me into a lifelong DDR player.

Apparently, this was BeForU's debut song. If it is, what a way to start your debut! Very catchy like their other songs! X3

The song that made me a fan of BeForU & Japanese Pop music.
