BeForU (ビーフォーユー) is an all female J-Pop group that belongs to the Avex label. Its current members are Riyu Kosaka, Ayano Tachibana, Hiromi Nishiuchi and Megumi Fukushita.
BeForU debuted in 2001 with their first song “DIVE”, which was notable as being the first J-Pop song in the BEMANI’s Dance Dance Revolution series. Originally a 4-member group with Riyu Kosaka, Noria Shiraishi, Yoma Komatsu and Shiyuna Maehara, after the departure of Maehara in 2004, auditions were made and 3 new members were added, Sayaka Minami, Lisa Sotohana and 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 Lisa Sotohana had their “graduations” from BeForU, to start their upcoming solo careers. On January 2008 were introduced three new members, Ayano Tachibana, Hiromi Nishiuchi and Megumi Fukushita. In April 2008, Sayaka Minami left the group, leaving Riyu, Ayano, Hitomi, and Megumi as the members of BeForU.

Shangri-La, the album, isn't that bad, I think it's just a hell of a lot more electronic than what they were. Which I don't really mind...

More importantly, where can you even hear Shangri-La? I can't find a sample ANYWHERE.

Who is responsible for the production of Shangri-La? It really sounds like they're trying to integrate BeForU with the Hello! Project while surreptitiously trying to also cash in on the new electrohousewhateverthehell sound that a lot of Shibuya artists have been doing now. There's maybe a total of three songs on the CD that sound like actual BeForU songs to me. I just really hope they aren't trying to increase their appeal at the expense of the quality of the song writing.

I thought the new album would be a lot worse, tbh. But it's actually pretty good. D: Well, save for Originality, that shizz is boring.

BeForU has gone through a lot of changes and their music has changed a little accordingly, but all of it is so very, very entertaining. Hopefully they stick together and keep producing more ^_^
