2018: Formation
On October 19, the two new Hello! Project groups' names were revealed as CHICA#TETSU and Ame no Mori Kawa Umi. Together they would form a combined group named BEYOOOOONDS, and instead of the Hello! Project "ONLY YOU" Audition winners joining either of the two groups, they would form a third group under BEYOOOOONDS.

On December 3, during the BEYOOOOONDS Ouen Kikaku FC Event 2018 ~Fuyu no Jin ZIN~ at Yamano Hall, the members were given their image colors and the winners of the Hello! Project "ONLY YOU" Audition were revealed as Satoyoshi Utano, Kobayashi Honoka, and Hirai Miyo. At this time, their group name had not yet been decided, but BEYOOOOONDS will begin activities as 12 members in the Hello! Project 20th Anniversary!! Hello! Project 2019 WINTER concert tour.

Group Name Origin
The name was chosen with hopes of the group growing freely towards the future, beyond their existing framework, with the members continuously changing the form and appearance of the group.
 * BEYOOOOONDS

Chica is Spanish for "girl" and tetsu (哲) means "philosophy". The two words were brought together to create a group name that means "girls who think deeply of things".
 * CHICA#TETSU

The name represents sources of life such as nature, and each of the founding group members has a part of their name with a meaning related to nature: kurumi (くるみ) meaning "walnut" from Takase Kurumi, ta (田) meaning "rice field" from Maeda Kokoro, hane (羽) meaning "feather" from Yamazaki Yuhane, oka (岡) meaning "hill" and nami (波) meaning "wave" from Okamura Minami, and momo (桃) meaning "peach" from Kiyono Momohime.
