Girl group UNIS is coloring this summer with a refreshing Y2K vibe.

UNIS (Jin Hyun-ju, Nana, Jellydangka, Kotoko, Bang Yun-ha, Alicia, Oh Yun-a, Im Seo-won) released their first Japanese mini-album 'UNI☆Sparkle!' at 0:00 on the 31st via all online music platforms.

This marks their first new release in about seven months since they launched their second Japanese digital single 'mwah…' last December. Since their debut, UNIS has maintained steady communication with local fans through various original Japanese songs. With this first Japanese mini-album, they showcase an even more diverse musical charm.

In particular, to commemorate the album release, UNIS collaborated specially with Ichigoiichiie (), a beloved Japanese character that has transcended generations. They newly realized the eight members' characters using Ichigoiichiie's unique cute art style and also unveiled a special music video for 'GimmeSummer☆(기미사마☆, ギミサマ☆)' utilizing this collaboration.

The released video harmoniously blends the world of Ichigoiichiie, which has depicted love, friendship, and youth, with UNIS's bright and refreshing energy. The combination of UNIS's lively charm and Japanese retro sensibility further maximizes the Y2K mood embodied in 'UNI☆Sparkle!'.

'UNI☆Sparkle!' is an album that maximizes UNIS's sparkling charm based on Japan's Y2K vibe. It features five well-curated tracks, including the title song 'GimmeSummer☆', 'BBYBBY (Baby Baby)', 'moshimoshi♡ (Moshi Moshi♡)', 'mwah…', and the Japanese version of 'SWICY (Swicy)'.

The title track 'GimmeSummer☆' is UNIS's first Summer song since their debut, portraying the 'real youth' of girls busy with love and friendship. The song was enhanced in quality by Carlos K., who composed lyrics and music after working with numerous popular artists such as BTS and M!LK, including the hit 'Love Wind'. Additionally, Makita Sako, known for choreographing songs like "Can't You Just Be Cute?", participated in performance production, amplifying UNIS's signature lively charm.
