Music Corner Week 103: THE BEAT GARDEN
/THE BEAT GARDEN is a three-member boy group that formed in 2012. The founding members of the group were U, REI, and MASATO, who were all attending a music college in Osaka. After meeting they decided to move to Tokyo and started performing live in the suburbs of Tokyo. The group officially claimed the name THE BEAT GARDEN in 2014, and they dropped their first album WILL in 2015. At the end of 2015, the group picked up their fourth member, DJ SATORU. On July of 2016, THE BEAT GARDEN made its major-label debut with Universal-Sigma when they released their “Never End” single. Since going major, the group has released nine singles and three albums, with their latest physical release being their album Afterglow. On August of 2021, DJ SATORU left the group, leaving the three founding members. On November of that year they released their digital single, “ROMANCE”.
THE BEAT GARDEN is a powerhouse of vocal talent, with amazing vocal performances from each member. I became familiar with this group when their song “Snow White Girl” charted back in 2019. I fell in love with this track, which, to this day, is still my favorite of theirs. This song has everything I’m looking for in my boy groups, great vocal performance with great harmonization. Their latest release, “ROMANCE” is a pretty fun track with some light jazz elements that have been thrown in. Even though they are now a three-man group they show they aren’t missing a beat. Over the course of their career, they’ve also shown how much range they have, being able to tackle songs in various styles.
THE BEAT GARDEN is active on their official website along with their Twitter page. Lastly, be sure to check out their song “Snow White Girl” in the video below.
