◾️Debut Single "PEACE" - The Dawn of a New "PEACE Culture"

With the catchphrase "Let's peace, for today's us!", NIC♡RY's debut single declares the beginning of a new "PEACE culture".

Even on days when you don't feel uplifted, or when your makeup doesn't turn out as you hoped, let's first cherish ourselves today. This down-to-earth message is delivered with natural and positive rap and a danceable groove.

Through a catchy melody that lingers in your ears and a new "gyaru peace" pose that you'll want to imitate, they simultaneously convey music and culture. Before talking about world peace, send a peace sign to "today's self" first—this small action will eventually spread to others, to the city, and then to the world. "PEACE" is the first step in NIC♡RY's story and a song that marks the beginning of a new culture born in Shibuya.

◾️MV Features NIC♡RY and Characters in a CG-Depicted Shibuya

The Music Video, released at 5:00 PM on the same day, features Ryua, Yunachi, and original characters in a CG-depicted Shibuya. The creative is pop, cute, and evokes a sense of nostalgia, making it a must-see visual work that allows viewers to experience NIC♡RY's worldview.

Pay attention to the choreography for the new "gyaru peace" pose, which you'll want to imitate.

◾️A New Unit Born from "Nicoichi" Bonds - The Birth of NIC♡RY

NIC♡RY is a two-member girls' rap duo formed by Ryua, an exclusive model for egg (former first-generation exclusive model for KOGYARU), and Yunachi, an exclusive model for KOGYARU. The unit name "NIC♡RY (Nicory)" is a coined word combining the concept of "nicoichi" (two people as one) with the members' initials, embedding their bond and unique relationship into the name itself.

"PEACE" is the first message sent from Shibuya by these "nicoichi" members. It is also a song that marks the beginning of new music and "PEACE culture" originating from Shibuya.
