CY8ER was a "new age vocal & DJ unit". Rinahamu served as the producer.
They were formed under the name BPM15Q in 2016. After nicamoq left in late 2016, a new member joined in late 2016 with a second in January 2017 and 3 more in April 2017. With this new line-up, the group rebranded to CY8ER. BPM15Q would later return with its original line-up in April 2022.
CY8ER's musical genre is commonly described as a mix of Future Bass and Drum & Bass, both subgenres of EDM.
The group disbanded on January 10, 2021, after a performance at the Nippon Budokan as the conclusion of their "CY8ER FINAL TOUR -Musume-" tour.[1][2]

Following nicamoq's graduation from BPM15Q, Koinumaru Pochi and Mashilo were added in January 2017, and BPM15Q changed their name to CY8ER.
CY8ER's first single (second overall), Remix Start, was released on March 18. They released one more single as a trio, Te to Te, a month later.
Shortly after the release of Te to Te, CY8ER announced through a video posted on their YouTube channel that three additional girls would join the group; Yamiyume Yamii, Naatan Coromushi and Fujishiro Anna.
CY8ER's first single with six members, Kakusheemu, was released in late June. They also held their first one-man tour, CY8ER LUCID DREAMING TOUR in 2017 with a total of 3 venues, the final taking place in Osaka.
In summer of 2017 CY8ER also entered the Idol Matsuri competition, winning 1st place for the Kanto-A block.
On January 31, 2018, CY8ER's first album, Hello New Generation, was released.
On March 5, Naatan Coromushi suddenly withdrew from the group. A statement released on their official website said:
"We have talked to (Coromushi) about her future over and over, but when the circumstances continued, judging that the group will be struggling to continue as a group, Naatan Coromushi will be withdrawing today.
We are hoping that you can understand the situation, it is a bitter judgement as a result of repeated consultations for several months between the Manager, the staffs, and the members."
On July 28, CY8ER released the digital single Bye Bye, their first release with five members.
Throughout 2018 and 2019, CY8ER frequently promoted and modeled for the Galaxxxy fashion brand.

In February, CY8ER announced that they would release one single every month for three months. The first of these singles, Dead Boy, Dead Girl, was released in February, the second Time Trip was released in March with the third and last being Summer / Sayonara Flashback released in April.
On October 18, CY8ER also held a free "emergency" live where a serious announcement would be made about their future. At the event, CY8ER announced that they would have their major-label debut in January 2020, with the album, Tokyo. That same month, they also launched their official fashion brand, CY8ER TOKYO, selling jackets in each of the members' respective image colors.Discography[]
