I'm pretty sure they meant it as a homage and not an attempt to steal from Devo. The guitarist is fond of dressing like Angus Young and Eddie Van Halen which leads me to think they're just trying to pay tribute to their influences.
Apparently Toru just wants to retire. He's about 45, so maybe he's feeling, in the words of Danny Glover "too old for this shit"..I don't know. But it's weird that they're putting out new material until the last second. Usually when a band breaks up, they've been inactive for a while before the announcement
but i think they're coming out with their last album because they want to show that they're still on good terms and aren't breaking up because of internal conflicts or anything.
im gonna miss the beat crusaders man im gonna cry i love them so much everyone who loves them will miss them so much BECR YOU WILL BE GREATLY MISSED YOUR MUSIC HAS INSPERED SO MANY
These guys really like taking classic tunes and mixing them up. This uses the riff from DEVO Girl U Want. Kappa Mikey is a rip on We Started the Fire by Billy Joel and Girl Friday is My Sharona. Great band, sad they split.
This is the most meaningful PV of Beat Crusaders for sure. It´s a very beautiful and sensitive tribute to Toru's ex-band friends, where he shows that he misses them a lot. It also represents the new beggining of the band, with the new and current members. Very well done, very touching! Love this PV!
@jackmcmorrow If you listen to a lot of their other songs, they have "nods" to other bands in their songs, take Japanese Girl for instance, the keyboard intro is from a Go Gos' song. They are just big fans and show it in their music.
That's just super imposed on dvd releases that get put on youtube.
Though you may be referring to some of the older stuff with the original band where i think they did use the masks, which had mouth openings and eye slits and stuff like in the videos.
indeed. The "current" lineup doesn't wear masks live, but they want everyone to go to their lives to see their true identities or whatever so they still cover their faces in all promotional material
they do, for like, little promo events, but when they are on tour, or doing a Zepp, it's them unmasked. They even do a special on Much Music (which you can find via this website) where Tahru says that they take off their masks at live shows.
I love how ill read through comments and see great resemblances between them and wikipedia. I read it too! So im not putting it down, how else can we find band information lol. Its just that people talk like they're BECR no-it-all's, when in fact they're just reading wikipedia haha I think it'd be more helpful to just give people the link to wikipedia than feeling self accomplished that you know more than some random person on the net about a band.
That's what it is, I couldn't remember. And yeah, from what I remember, the original line up was the four guys, three in the pixelated pics and the lead singer of course, the other 3 left (not on bad terms), and this was the first video with the new line-up, what we now know as BECR. You can tell the story in the vid is the other guys leaving, and he's in a slump saddened by it, finds the new members online, and BOOM! New BECR lineup, and he is happy :D
The current lead singer is like 32 the old one is 50!They cover their faces with the masks because its supposed to be their signature look or something.
...The old Beat Crusaders broke up.The fat guys is the OLD singer.He got NEW singers to replace Beat Crusaders because they wanted the band to go on even if the old band was too old.
He's not a singer... He is just a guy, who is acting in BEcR' videos... Beat Crusader at the beginning was just made of Toru Hidaka, then 3 guys have joined band but they left... At least the another 4 members has gotten in... The guys we can see now in BC. The only one who is 50 years old are the guys above me...
No he's not! He's just staring at their videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Toru Hidaka was always the lead singer! Chosen thinks that the man who is singing is above 50' because of Tpru's voice in this song...
hahahaha how funny the guitar does sound the same as devo "girl you want"

Tohru Hidaka is the Old BeCR lead singer/guitar
and
Tohru Hidaka is the New BeCR lead singer/guitar
Its the same person
As you can see in old videos and in the new ones
He's the only one who kept the same mask.
All the others who left BeCR left their masks too, so the new members (Masahiko, Taroh, Hirofumi and Keita) have their own new masks.
But Hidaka is still the same guy!
