History

2013-2014

On October 7, 2013, Kago Ai announced on her blog that she would be forming a girl group and holding auditions for other members. The group would be crowd-sourced using lyrics, music, and costume ideas submitted by fans, as well as online voting. The winner of the auditions was Kita Remi (formerly of AKIHABARA Backstage pass), and the runner-up, Himeno Ryona, was given training before becoming a member.

In June 2014, the unit's name, Girls Beat!!, was officially announced, as well as their first single, Sekai Seifuku, to be released on July 22, 2014. On September 10, 2014, Girls Beat!! released their second single, Mada, Yareru.

On September 13, 2014, it was announced that there would be a second audition for new members.

However, on October 27, it was announced that Girls Beat's new member audition and song voting had been postponed following an arrest warrant being issued for Kago's husband.^[1]

On November 2, Kago announced she would be resuming Girls Beat!! activities with Ryona, beginning with a December event in Taiwan.^[2]

On December 1, it was revealed that a new member, Momose Yui, would be joining the group.
