Beat Crusaders was a cool rock band from Japan. They were famous for wearing special masks when they were out in public. But when they played their music at concerts, they didn't wear them!

The band had five members. They were Hidaka Touru (who sang and played guitar), Kubota Masahiko (who played bass), Katou Tarou (who also played guitar), Mashi-ta (on drums), and Keitaimo (who played keyboards). Beat Crusaders started making music in 1997. Most of their songs were sung in English. Their music style included melodic hard core, digital rock, and power pop.

Why Beat Crusaders Wore Masks

The members of Beat Crusaders started wearing masks for a special reason. Before they became famous musicians, they worked regular office jobs. They couldn't show their faces because of their other work.

Even after they became very well known, they decided to keep wearing their masks. The masks became a big part of their identity. It was like their special trademark!
