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.

Yorisoutte ita futari wa shiawase ni michiteta

Wish on the Shooting Star
The song "SHOOTING STAR" by BeForU is about two people who promised each other a simple future together, and have been contented by it. They reminisce about the past and how they have faced everything together, and it's remarkable how they have overcome everything with each other's company. However, they now realize that they have drifted apart and are too far from each other despite promising each other they would always be together.
The lyrics highlight the feeling of loneliness and how the future may become darker without the person they once had by their side. The singer wishes to see a shining star in the sky, which can symbolize hope or a miracle. The lyrics also discuss how we should cherish companionship as it's easy to take it for granted and realize how important it was when it's gone. Additionally, the song touches on the theme of time and change, and how it can be challenging to maintain relationships as people grow and time changes.
Overall, the song "SHOOTING STAR" is a beautiful and nostalgic reminder of how essential companionship is, and it's vital to cherish the precious moments we have with our loved ones.
