Bi-ray, the group that debuted under YOSHIKI's production, changes their name
Bi-ray, who debuted as a girls' vocal group produced by YOSHIKI, has changed their artist name to Be-ray.
On their official website, along with the announcement of the name change, a comment was posted: "The four of us will continue to join forces and deliver music to everyone. We ask for your continued support going forward."
Be-ray is a four-member girls' vocal group with an average age of 16, consisting of 15-year-old Cocomi, 17-year-old Emi, 15-year-old Michelle, and 16-year-old Hinata. Formed by four members who came from Nippon TV's "Kashouou," they are armed with expressive power and singing ability boasting a four-octave range. Be-ray will release their 3rd single "UNBREAKABLE" digitally tomorrow, June 12. "UNBREAKABLE" is a song that depicts "inner strength"—overcoming the urge to give up despite harboring weaknesses and doubts, breaking out of one's inner shell, and taking a step forward.
"UNBREAKABLE" has been chosen as the support song for the "Taiyo Seimei Women's Sevens Series 2026," known as the pinnacle of women's rugby sevens tournaments in Japan. At this tournament, fans can experience the action of the Japan national team, known by the nickname Sakura Sevens, right here in Japan. Be-ray will give a vocal performance during the interval of the first round, the Kumagaya Tournament, held on June 21 at Kumagaya Rugby Stadium A in Saitama. Upon the selection of the support song, the members of Be-ray released comments.

Cocomi
I am truly, sincerely happy that our song was chosen as the support song this time. We are also taking on many challenges right now to make our dreams come true. That is exactly why we can empathize with the hard work and dedicated feelings of the athletes and students. I would be happy if our energy reaches them through this song and leads to their confidence.
Emi
I believe and feel that even in a sport where you work as a team with all your might like rugby, the most important thing is to believe in yourself and overcome anything. Therefore, I want them to never give up until the very end no matter the situation, believe in themselves, and move forward, and I would be happy if our song could give everyone strength. Also, in the hot season ahead, I would be delighted if this song becomes a major support and gives a push to the athletes fighting with all their might, as well as to everyone cheering them on.
Michelle
"UNBREAKABLE" contains the meaning of overcoming oneself.
Because there are many powerful phrases and words in this song as well, we will do our best to deliver energy and confidence through our singing voices to the athletes participating in this tournament, the team personnel, and the fans of women's rugby sevens!
Hinata
I am very happy that our song was chosen as the support song. I am also filled with gratitude to be able to perform in Kumagaya on June 21. On that day, I want to perform with all my might so as to give a push to the athletes and the people cheering on those matches. I will do my best!

Be-ray continues to take on new challenges while layering their four personalities together. We believe that their song "UNBREAKABLE," which sings about the will to move forward even in the midst of difficulties and the strength to support each other, will encourage and give a push to everyone involved in the tournament, including the athletes and staff participating in it, as well as the fans who support them. Therefore, we have decided to use it as the tournament support song for this season.
