Buzy was a Japanese all-female pop ensemble consisting of Nao Tōyama, Mayumi Niwa, Mao Miyazato, Yurisa Asama, Sachiko Iwanaga, and Yumi Takeda. The group originally debuted in 1998 under the name COLOR featuring Tōyama, Miyazato, Niwa, and Komugi Kadota. Between 1999 and 2001, COLOR released a total of five singles along with two full-length albums. In 2004, they reemerged as Buzy and launched their debut single "Kujira." Their well-known song "Be Somewhere" was used as the opening theme for the anime Rockman EXE Stream in 2005. Additionally, they performed "Venus Say," which served as the opening for Twin Spica and is considered a lyrical reinterpretation of "Kujira." The acronym Buzy represents "Blend, Unique, Zipping, and You just wait." A significant number of their tracks were composed by Haruichi Shindō, guitarist of Porno Graffitti. The band dissolved in June 2006. Subsequently, members Nao, Mayumi, and Mao joined forces with former Boystyle members Kayoko and Yukina to create the group MANSAKU.
