Maehara Shiyuna

2004

Maehara Shiyuna (前原しゆな) is a former 1st generation member of BeForU. Known as the drummer of the group, she did not receive many lines. She eventually graduated on March 17, 2004 with the official reason was to pursue her studies. She was the only BeForU member to not have any solo songs. 

She is also believed to have been a model in the past since an image of her on a cover of a magazine surfaced in the early 2000s. However, the image seems to be no longer available so it is hard to prove that claim.

Speculative Information

This is merely speculative and may or may not be true. This information was found via google image search as a top result when typing "前原しゆな". One of the images on this page strongly resembles Maehara Shiyuna, so if it was her, this would mean that she retired completely from the entertainment industry and got married sometime between 2004 and 2009.

The aforementioned magazine at the beginning of this article appeared on a Japanese blog post in 2005 along with speculation about how old it was. The photo was no longer available but this is the closest information that has been found about it. While I did see that image many years ago, I didn't save it nor did I know to archive the forum were it first appeared. If anyone has any information about it or a copy of it. Please comment here or message the founder of this wiki.
