BE:FIRST (ビーファースト) is a seven member Japanese dance and vocal boy group formed in 2021 from the audition show THE FIRST created by rapper SKY-HI. The group is signed under SKY-HI’s management company BMSG and made their debut in November 2021 in BMSG’s label B-ME.

The group has no set leader so that everyone will share their thoughts and teach on an equal basis. Furthermore, there are no set positions, as they are a group made up of aces where everyone can be, and is, the center.
