Riyu Kosaka (小坂りゆ, Kosaka Riyu) is the youngest, and arguably most successful solo member of the Konami-produced J-Pop group BeForU. Kosaka was born in Kanagawa, Japan on January 17, 1985.
Kosaka has had the largest number of solo songs of all the BeForU members, and her songs appear in nearly every Bemani series. The success of her music within the Bemani series led to the release of her first solo album, begin (produced by Bemani giant Naoki Maeda), on June 11, 2004, as well as a CD-DVD set, Riyu Kosaka First Live at O-EAST 2005, released on June 3, 2005. Begin featured three original songs and eleven re-recorded Bemani songs, whereas Riyu Kosaka First Live included songs from begin, other Bemani contributions, and one new track, Dead Beat. Since BeForU's move to the Avex record label, Kosaka has released one new single, 大和撫子魂 [Yamato Nadeshiko Damashi; Spirit of Japan].
