Also in 3rd place.
The MV for their debut song “Ride the Vibe” is a youth group drama that can only be expressed by the group, who have an average age of 17.4 years old.The “emotional” visual world, which is just like a short film, attracted a lot of attention, and the number of views on YouTube increased within 3 days of its release. It has been played over 10 million times and currently has over 22 million views. In Japan, the new Aquarius commercial featuring NEXZ, “Next to those who advance.” “Stage” version is currently being aired nationwide. The new song “Keep on Moving,” written and produced by J.Y. Park, which plays as the commercial song, is also attracting attention. NEXZ’s first showcase in Japan, “NEXZ SHOWCASE 2024 ‘Ride the Vibe'”, was announced today, June 3rd.

Especially in the Outro, you can feel the lyrical vocalization of the NEXZ members on a simple track centered on piano.
Along with a mysterious story, light shines into various scenes regardless of the time of day in a stylish and sophisticated visual world.
A unique atmosphere full of spirituality and euphoria.
It’s a video work that makes you realize their new charm, which is a little different from the much-attracted “Ride the Vibe.”
Please check it out along with the showcase information.

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9K3xwFkFqWECOP_-Phr903SDrEhznuWQ [What is “Nizi Project”]
A Japan-Korea joint audition project by JYP and Sony Music.
In this project, JYP and Sony Music will jointly handle everything from holding global auditions to member casting, training, planning, production, and management.
In “Nizi Project Season 1”, she participated in “NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen” for 4 consecutive years, won the “Japan Record Award” for 3 consecutive years, and became the “fastest female artist in history” to perform at two major domes, Tokyo Dome and Kyocera Dome. NiziU made their long-awaited Korean debut on October 30, 2023, and became a national girl group in both name and reality, garnering a lot of attention when they won first place on a local music show.
Taking advantage of that track record, this “Nizi Project Season 2” aims to create a global boy group, and will be held in eight cities in Japan, Los Angeles, New York, and Seoul in South Korea, from mid-March to early May 2022. Regional auditions were held at 11 locations, with over 10,000 applicants participating.
After going through the process of regional auditions ⇒ Japan training camp ⇒ Korean training camp, the global boy group “NEXZ” was born. [NEXZ Official Website] https://nexz-official.com
