Okinawa-based Dance & Vocal Unit JUICYJUICY Releases First Summer Song in a Series, "Dive Into The World," with Music Video Also Unveiled

Dance & vocal unit JUICYJUICY, formed from an audition held by Asobisystem in 2021 exclusively for Okinawa residents, released their 3rd digital single "Dive Into The World" on Friday, April 24, 2026. The music video was also unveiled on the same day. JUICYJUICY consists of four members: Sana Taira (15), Saara Higa (14), Reiri Iha (16), and Ami Uema (15), with an average age of 15 (as of April 2026). The group's name is derived from "Jushi," a traditional Okinawan mixed rice dish, reflecting their desire to become a group loved by all generations by blending various individual personalities into one. This work, the first in a series of summer song releases, is a youth summer song packed with the exhilaration of a clear blue sky and a vibrant summer. The lyrics and music were handled by YUKI JOLLY ROGER, who has been active as a member of BENNIE K since 2001 and now works as a composer/sound producer. The song features impressive choruses by the four junior and senior high school members and a nostalgic sound. The music video, released today, is a refreshing visual set against colorful diners and Okinawa's blue sea and sky, imbued with a somewhat nostalgic atmosphere reminiscent of the early 2000s.

The mix of American casual and schoolgirl tastes in the styling highlights the individuality of each of the four members. JUICYJUICY is scheduled to appear at "GIRLS GROOVE INNOVATION 2026" on April 25th and 26th, and "mini Chikappa Festival ver.32.0 in OKINAWA" on May 30th and 31st. Keep an eye on their future activities. ■ Sound Producer YUKI JOLLY ROGER Comment I felt a freshness from these artists, who are based in Okinawa, as if they were delivering the summer air ahead of time, and I incorporated that image into the song. The lyrics depict "protagonists pursuing their dreams" without limiting the timeline. I hope many people will listen to it as one of their playlist songs, not just this year, but in summers to come. JUICYJUICY 3rd Digital Single "Dive Into The World" Release Date: Friday, April 24, 2026 Distribution URL: https://lnk.to/Dive_Into_The_World [MV] JUICYJUICY "Dive Into The World" https://youtu.be/ImSWDbtwohQ Asobisystem, which has sent numerous artists like Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, ATARASHII GAKKO!, and FRUITS ZIPPER from Harajuku to the world, held an audition in Okinawa Prefecture in 2021. JUICYJUICY is a dance & vocal unit formed by the four members selected after winning that audition and undergoing approximately three and a half years of training. The meaning behind the group name comes from "Jushi," an Okinawan local dish of mixed rice. It was named with the hope that the four members, each with different personalities (ingredients), would blend together to become one, creating a group (a dish) loved by people of all ages. The members' average age is 15 (as of April 2026). They are sparkling active teenagers.
