BE:FIRST has unveiled details for their fourth studio album, BE:4U, ahead of the group's upcoming debut anniversary. The release represents a significant point in the trajectory of the seven-member group, which debuted under SKY-HI's label in 2021.

While specific track listings and release dates have not been fully detailed in available reports, the album announcement comes during a period of sustained activity for the group. BE:FIRST has established themselves as one of the more consistent releases in the Japanese music industry, building a fanbase through their hip-hop and R&B-influenced sound and high-energy choreography.

The group's naming convention—using "BE" as a prefix across album titles—reflects their concept of continuous personal growth and transformation. With each album cycle, BE:FIRST has refined their artistry, balancing vocal performances with the production and performance quality that has become their trademark.

BE:FIRST's journey from their 2021 debut to now includes multiple successful releases and appearances at major Japanese music festivals and award shows. Their 2024 performances demonstrated their evolution as performers, with increasingly polished stage presence and musical maturity.

The announcement of BE:4U suggests the group will continue exploring their musical identity while maintaining the dance-centric production their audience expects. As a group under the SKY-HI umbrella—which emphasizes artist development and creative freedom—BE:FIRST has had space to experiment within their core sound.

Fans can expect the album to feature the group's characteristic blend of production styles, likely incorporating contributions from multiple producers. The group's previous albums have shown range, from harder hip-hop tracks to smoother R&B-influenced numbers, suggesting BE:4U will follow a similar approach.

More detailed information about BE:4U, including exact release date, track listing, and pre-order details, is expected to be announced in the coming weeks as the group's debut anniversary approaches.
