J-Pop Super Group 美麗-Bi-ray- Debuts with ‘Butterfly’

The keen reader will certainly be aware of Japanese rockstar YOSHIKI. Celebrated as “one of the most influential musicians and composers in Japanese history” by Consequence, the iconic creative has recently been working on a new adventure, sparking the artistic research that has now given birth to vocal group 美麗-Bi-ray-. Featuring young vocalists, Emi, Hinata, Cocomi and Michelle, 美麗-Bi-ray- has already released his debut single, an evocative ballad that’s as elegant as it is hypnotising. 

Aptly titled ‘Butterfly’, the track appears as a bright fever dream, moving with charisma and soothing flair, only to be occasionally interrupted by fiercer sections and gritty tones. Overall, ‘Butterfly’ does a great job of showcasing the immense talent carried by the four young singers, lending their perfect voices and melodies to YOSHIKI’s musical cause. As the Japanese veteran explains: “Each of their voices is one of a kind, they are vocalists who can take on the world.”

Having made their US debut singing the national anthem at Dodgers Stadium, 美麗-Bi-ray-  seeks to “reach for the sky”, and judging by what we have heard so far, they might just make it there.
