STARGLOW, the five-member group born from BMSG's audition project 'THE LAST PIECE,' released their latest digital single 'Good Boys Anthem' on May 25, 2026. Built on songwriting by SKY-HI and MY FIRST STORY's Nob and a Shinagawa Hiroshi-directed MV depicting a 'coming-of-age drama embracing both strength and weakness,' the track is positioned as a long-term setup piece ahead of the June 7 release of 'Drivin' My Life.'
STARGLOW comprises RUI, TAIKI, KANON, GOICHI, and ADAM, forming a five-member dance and vocal group that made their major debut on January 21, 2026 with the single 'Star Wish.' Their pre-debut single 'Moonchaser' charted at number 7 on the Billboard JAPAN Hot 100, demonstrating consistently high commercial validation from project to release.
From an industry-context view, BMSG, led by SKY-HI, has established a studio-style talent development model after launching BE:FIRST and MAZZEL, and STARGLOW extends this lineage. The participation of SKY-HI alongside MY FIRST STORY's Nob — creators rooted in both rock and rap — signals BMSG's intent to design works that consciously cross genres.
On the production side, 'Good Boys Anthem' layers heavy distorted guitars in a shoegaze sound, building an alternative listening experience that breaks the typical dance-vocal-group mold. The premiere of the song at VIVA LA ROCK 2026 reads as a strategic move to extend reach into the rock-festival market alongside the dance-vocal fandom.
Catalog Spotlight: Star Wish
STARGLOW's debut single 'Star Wish' followed a two-step design — digital release on January 19, 2026 and CD release on January 21, 2026 — running chart and physical-package channels in parallel. Together with 'Good Boys Anthem,' it forms part of STARGLOW's long-term roadmap of key works.
From the ZEN editorial perspective, STARGLOW's pre-debut genre-crossing and collaboration accessibility is a major reference for independent creators learning from the BMSG project model. For genre-crossing creators, the design of songwriting credits directly affects the long-term value of their work — a leverage point equally available to ZEN CREATIVE LAB registered artists (Shizuku Record / stim MUSIC / ONGR / Welcomeman Record / under BARIKI).
