BE:FIRST's Anticipated Album Release

The beloved Japanese dance and vocal group, BE:FIRST, is gearing up for a grand celebration this November. Marking their 5th anniversary, they will be releasing their fourth studio album titled 'BE:4U' on November 3, 2026. This album eagerly follows their last original release nearly two years ago, promising to bring fans a fresh collection of 13 captivating tracks.

Among the featured songs are several previous hits that have dominated music charts, including 'BE:FIRST ALL DAY', 'Rondo', '街灯' (Streetlight), and 'Missing'. The album also introduces new tracks such as 'H.A.R.E.' performed by members SOTA, MANATO, JUNON, and LEO, which has garnered attention through its tie-in with Suntory's draft beer campaign. Additionally, 'It’s not a bad life', composed for the upcoming film 'RYUJI 竜二', adds to the album's allure. Notably, a re-recorded version of their iconic hit 'Mainstream' will be included (labeled as 'Mainstream (2026 ver.)').

Album Editions

The album will be available in several formats:
1. CD Version
2. LIVE Version: This package features live footage from their massive MTV Unplugged performance earlier this year, preserved on DVD/Blu-ray along with the live audio CD.
3. MV Version: This version boasts an array of music videos, including new releases as well as behind-the-scenes footage of previously released tracks.
4. BMSG MUSIC SHOP Version: A special edition that combines elements from both the LIVE and MV versions, along with exclusive behind-the-scenes content and a documentary tracing the making of the album.

BE:FIRST is also embarking on exciting ventures following the album's release, including a world showcase tour titled 'BE:FIRST WORLD SHOWCASE 2026 “WATCH ME”', which will launch in September, and a monumental dome tour to celebrate their 5th anniversary in January 2027.
