NIJISANJI EN’s BY THE BEAT Drops Summer Anthem “MERORI” in English and Japanese

BY THE BEAT, the four-member male VTuber unit from NIJISANJI EN, is heating up summer with their second digital single, “MERORI.” The track drops on July 31, 2026 JST in English, followed by the Japanese version, “Boku ni Merori,” on August 5, 2026 JST.

Lyrics and composition come from MUTEKI DEAD SNAKE, a prolific producer whose credits include Snow Man’s “Charisma Max” and M!LK’s “I Love You So Much I’m Destroyed!” Centered on the infectious hook, the song captures the exhilaration of a summer night pool party through pop-infused wordplay and Latin-inspired production.

Short clips of both versions dropped on July 19 across TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube. Fans can also enjoy dance animation clips featuring BY THE BEAT’s mascots. The full choreography, created by Getz (known for numerous anime, games, and VTuber collaborations), will release later.

Earlier, a social media campaign invited fans to submit lines for the members to say at a summer pool party, generating buzz across the global fanbase.

BY THE BEAT continues to bridge Japanese and global audiences with bilingual releases, and “MERORI” sounds like the kind of earworm that’ll be stuck in your head all summer. Pre-save the track now and follow the group’s official socials for updates. Keep an eye out for the full choreography release.
