@MiniYopExplorer Discogs is not a valid source for name romanization. This katakana would be "will bes" like in the phrase "has beens and will bes".

I don't know if it's related with the subject of the topic but it's "Will-Bs"

That's a translator and is most probably not the same as this chorus group, which may be romanized differently

If I romanize the name by myself, and with J-Talk, for example, it came back with "Will Beads" (or "Wiru Bīzu"... which is Beads?).
But "Bes" is also possible (because it's not "Bīduzu").

Not a real source, but it could be romanized as "Wilbees", ビーズ could be also found as "B'z" or "Beez".
This females chorus group did lot of works in '70 for Polydor, Warner, Toshiba EMI label so we need to check if rare stuff could contain a clue.

Thanks to Phonograph, a romanization is available on 1977 Lp Together With Jun / Martha Miyake by Toshiba Emi [LF-91025] as "Will-be's"
