**Bi-ray** (stylized in Japanese as **美麗**-**Bi-ray-**) is a four-member Japanese girl group produced by [Yoshiki](/source/Yoshiki_(musician)). The four-octave group was formed in 2024 with members Emi, Hinata, Cocomi, and Michelle.

## History

In 2023, the four members of Bi-ray - Cocomi, Emi, Michelle, and Hinata - competed in [Nippon Television](/source/Nippon_Television)'s "Kashō-ō (The Singing King)".[1] Japanese rock star [Yoshiki](/source/Yoshiki_(musician)), who was a special judge for the program, decided to mentor the performers.[2][3]

On July 6, 2024, Bi-ray made its first public appearance on Nippon Television's "The Music Day", performing a short version of the song "Butterfly", written and produced by Yoshiki.[4][5][6][7]

In September 2024, the group performed at Yoshiki's annual [dinner show event](/source/Yoshiki_(musician)#Tours_and_concerts) in Tokyo.[8] In December, they performed on Nippon Television's "King of Singing - All Japan Singing Championship".[9]

In May 2025, Bi-ray performed the [U.S. national anthem](/source/The_Star-Spangled_Banner) at [Dodger Stadium](/source/Dodger_Stadium) in Los Angeles.[10]

In June 2025, "Butterfly" was announced as the group's first digital single and as the theme song for the film *[Bride Hard](/source/Bride_Hard)*.[11][3] The song reached #1 on the iTunes Pop, Recochoku, and Mora charts in Japan,[12] and the music video, co-directed by Yoshiki, was released on June 20.[13] On August 30, the group appeared at Yoshiki's sold-out "Evening/Breakfast with Yoshiki 2025 in Tokyo Japan Kurenai" and performed their next single, "Your Jealousy".[14]

In September 2025, Bi-ray released the "Butterfly (Narrative Version)" music video directed by Yoshiki, which featured on-screen appearances by [Rebel Wilson](/source/Rebel_Wilson), [Anna Camp](/source/Anna_Camp), [Colleen Camp](/source/Colleen_Camp), [Gigi Zumbado](/source/Gigi_Zumbado), [Da'Vine Joy Randolf](/source/Da'Vine_Joy_Randolph), and Yoshiki.[15] On the same day, the "Butterfly - Acoustic Version" digital single was released.
