Bi-ray, a vocal group produced by YOSHIKI, released its debut single digitally worldwide today.
Butterfly was written and produced by YOSHIKI to serve as the theme song for the summer film
"Bride Hard," starring Rebel Wilson. "Bride Hard" opened today in over 2,000 theaters across North America.
Pairing the group's soaring vocals with a cinematic arrangement, Butterfly is said to blend elegance and strength.
The song was released globally via YOSHIKI's newly launched label Melodee, distributed by Virgin Music Group, and in Japan through Avex.

Bi-ray is a multicultural vocal group made up of Emi, Hinata, Cocomi and Michelle, each with a rare four-octave range. Their name, Bi-ray, meaning "beautiful radiance," was coined by YOSHIKI for a project with global potential. Discovered while
he was guest-judging a major Japanese singing competition, YOSHIKI has called them a miracle group, stating that all four vocalists can take on the world.
