Rock band BEAT CRUSADERS broke up over the summer, but the leader of the band will be continuing on with his solo career.� Hidaka Touru has officially launched his solo career website and has announced something very special; he will finally reveal his true face.

BEAT CRUSADERS were known for always wearing stylized masks when they performed as a way to blend the group as a whole instead of emphasizing the individual.� Hidaka will be dispensing with this symbol for his solo career and the man behind the iconic band will be revealing his true identity.

In recent activities, Hidaka Touru also formed a temporary new band called "TV MURDERS" that will be releasing a tribute album on November 10th.� It is a four piece band with Kaji Hideki, Ahito Inazawa (VOLA & THE ORIENTAL MACHINE), and Doujima Kouhei.� The individual members of the group are all busy with their own solo and side bands, so constant activities and releases are not expected from TV MURDERS.
