CY8ER (pronounced as "cyber") was a Japanese alternative idol girl group. Formed by Ichigo Rinahamu and Nicamoq as BPM15Q in 2015, the group expanded and had five members by the time of their dissolution in January 2021. Their music was characterized by its peculiar EDM style with an added kawaii element.

## History

[edit]

The group was founded as BPM15Q in 2015 by Ichigo Rinahamu (苺りなはむ), a former member of idol groups BiS and Akishibu Project, and Nicamoq, a DJ. The name BPM15Q was chosen as a reference to the two members: 15 for Ichigo Rinahamu (One is pronounced ichi and five is pronounced go, putting them together made ichigo) and Q for Nicamoq.[1] The duo began releasing a series of songs, out of which "Hakuchu-mu" (はくちゅーむ) peaked at 3rd on iTunes' J-pop charts.[2] In November 2016, BPM15Q released their first album titled BPM15Q All Songs via Ichigo Rinahamu's own label, Icigo Style. The album contained all of the songs the duo has released so far.[3] In December 2016, the group announced the additions of two members: Koinumaru Pochi (小犬丸 ぽち), a former DJ, and Mashiro (ましろ), former member of idol group DEEP GIRL. December also saw the departure of Nicamoq. With the changes, the group renamed itself to "CY8ER".[3][4]

The group released two singles before the additions of three more members in April 2017: Fujishiro Anna (藤城アンナ), former member of Ice Cream Suicide and Bellring Shōjo Heart; Naatan Koromushi (なぁたんコロ虫); and Yamiyume Yamii (病夢やみい).[5][6] The six-person group soon made headlines for an event inviting fans to hug a member, but each member was wearing full chemical protective clothing.[7] Naatan Koromushi left the group in March 2018.[8] As of April 2014, four additional singles and one album were released.

The group disbanded on January 10, 2021, following their last live show at Nippon Budokan.[9]

In April 2022, the original duo officially announced they will resuming their activities as BPM15Q under Victor Entertainment’s label.[10]
