In the ever-expanding world of pop, a new and fresh group has arrived to make their mark on the global stage: cosmosy. Comprised of four talented Japanese members—himesha, de_hana, kamión, and a’mei—cosmosy made their debut with the captivating track “zigy=zigy”. The group’s unique blend of J-pop and K-pop elements immediately grabbed attention, and their powerful message of self-expression, cultural diversity, and youthful energy is resonating with fans worldwide.
The group’s name, “cosmosy,” symbolizes the “Possibilities of Youth” and the “Infinity of the Cosmos,” reflecting their limitless potential as they embark on their journey to inspire young people around the globe. Their debut track, “zigy=zigy”, embodies this vision, combining a catchy K-pop dance beat with Eastern influences and showcasing lyrics in Japanese, Korean, and English. The song explores themes of inner struggles and identity, particularly those experienced by teenage girls facing breakups, all while delivering an upbeat sound that contrasts with its deeper emotional themes.
A Dream Debut
As they reflect on the global debut, the members of cosmosy can’t help but feel grateful for the overwhelming support from fans. “Thank you so much!” de_hana exclaims. “It still doesn’t feel real, but I’m truly amazed that so many people around the world are watching cosmosy’s ‘zigy=zigy’ music video. We’ll continue to work hard to bring even better projects in the future.”
The song’s production features a stellar team, including the enigmatic producer collective Citizens of Cosmos and the A&R crew Amplified, who have worked with some of the biggest names in K-pop. The track’s high-energy, pluck-synth sound and powerful chorus combine to form a unique and fresh pop anthem.
Cosmosy’s Identity and Visuals
The debut music video for “zigy=zigy” immerses viewers in a futuristic universe where the members of cosmosy navigate vibrant, imaginative worlds. The video, crafted by a creative team renowned for their work with K-pop icons like BLACKPINK and aespa, highlights each member’s individuality, drawing viewers into their unique universe. “It delicately portrays the inner conflicts and struggles with identity faced by teenage girls confronting separation,” de_hana explains about the concept behind the video. “It was important for us to communicate these feelings of uncertainty and resilience, as they’re experiences many of us face.”
For the group, this journey isn’t just about music; it’s about representing the diversity and strength of young people everywhere. As cosmosy continues to grow, they hope to inspire fans to embrace their individuality and find their own strength in difficult times.
A Vision Beyond Boundaries
One of the most striking elements of cosmosy is their ability to navigate the complexities of being a multi-national group, with members hailing from Japan and creating music for a global audience. “Our production staff consists of both Japanese and Korean members, so we are creating our work through extensive communication with the team,” says himesha, describing how they manage their cultural differences in both the creative process and daily life. This blend of cultural influences is integral to their unique sound, and it shows in their debut track, which incorporates diverse musical elements that feel universally appealing.
When asked about how they would describe their group’s energy through music, cosmosy unanimously points to a song that embodies their dynamic spirit: Neon Genesis Evangelion‘s “残酷な天使のテーゼ”. “It has this exciting, powerful energy that really speaks to us as a group,” they share.
Fun and Personal Insights
The members of cosmosy are as playful and fun as they are talented. When asked about the concept of a zombie apocalypse, the group had some fun imagining which member would be most likely to survive. “At first, everyone chose themselves,” they laugh, “but… kamión! She loves zombie movies, so she’s probably done a lot of mental training for this. Plus, she once won first place in a marathon!” On the flip side, de_hana was playfully dubbed the one most likely to get caught, with the group joking, “She seems like the type to trip at a critical moment and might not be very attentive to her surroundings.”
Fans of cosmosy are also getting to know the members through their quirky talents. himesha surprised everyone by revealing, “I can jet ski.” Kamión chimed in, saying, “I can get ready in 2 minutes in the morning,” while de_hana shared her impressive ability: “I wake up before my alarm goes off.” A’mei, ever the character, revealed, “I sleep talk with distinct pronunciation.”
Looking Ahead: Dreams of Global Impact
As cosmosy looks to the future, their dreams extend far beyond their debut. The group is determined to make a lasting impact on the global pop scene, bringing their music and message of empowerment to fans worldwide. “I want to engage in activities that transcend generations and connect with many people along the way!” de_hana expresses, emphasizing the group’s dedication to forging meaningful connections through their music.
Their influences also reach beyond the world of K-pop. “BLACKPINK (sunbaenim) is one of the biggest inspirations for us,” says the group, acknowledging the global success of the K-pop superstars. For cosmosy, the future is about creating music that crosses cultural barriers, and they even dream of collaborating with some of their musical idols. “If we could, I would have loved to collaborate with Avicii,” himesha shares. “I believe we could have had great chemistry and created amazing songs with cosmosy!”
As they continue to rise, cosmosy has their sights set on performing at some of the most iconic stages in the world. “Tokyo Dome!” they say in unison, revealing their dream of performing at one of Japan’s most legendary venues.
Empowering Messages for Fans
At the heart of cosmosy’s music is a message of self-expression and perseverance. Their debut track, “zigy=zigy,” is a reflection of their desire to communicate with fans on a deeper level, especially through the song’s empowering lyrics. “The lyric ‘헤어지기=지기 싫어’ expresses the feeling of not wanting to break up, but it can also be interpreted freely as ‘I don’t want to lose,’” explains de_hana. “I hope the listeners can take it as a message of not wanting to give up in this world and find the courage to push forward.”
Cosmosy’s journey is just beginning, but they’ve already left a powerful impression with their debut. Their blend of musical talent, compelling visuals, and powerful messages makes them a group to watch in the coming years. “To all the fans around the world supporting cosmosy, thank you so much! We will keep working hard, so please continue to support us! We love you!” The world is watching, and cosmosy is ready to shine.
