History

B2takes! was formed in December 2012 by Bacs Entertainment.[1] In August 2015, the group released "Hanabi" as their debut single. In 2018, B2takes! made their major label debut through King Records with the double A-side single "Brand New Anniversary" / "Not Alone."[2][3] "Not Alone" was used as the theme song to the film BD: Akechi Tantei Jimusho, which Ozawa starred in.[4][5] Ozawa and Wataru departed from the group during their 6th anniversary concert in November 2018;[6] however, Wataru later rejoined. In June 2019, Ryosuke Chiba, Manaya Yajima, Kazuya Yuuki, and YouJin were added as new members to the group.[1] In July 2020, B2takes!'s official website announced that YouJin would be leaving the group and terminating his contract with their agency at the end of August 2020.[7]
