GENIC is a Japanese mixed dance and vocal group formed in 2019 and made their major debut on May 27, 2020, with the album "GENEX". The group is part of Avex Management and is signed to the avex trax label, placing them within Avex's established pop and performance-focused artist roster.
The project began through "a-genic PROJECT," a new dance and vocal group development initiative that inherited Avex's DNA. GENIC was formed after the activities of the limited-time survival unit that took place in the summer of 2019, giving the group a background rooted in both training and selection rather than a standard debut path.
GENIC's lineup is made up of Atsuki Mashiko (増子 敦貴) in red, Joe Nishizawa (西澤 呈) in green, Kakeru Amemiya (雨宮 翔) in blue, Maiki Nishimoto (西本 茉生) in yellow as leader, Maria Kaneya (金谷 鞠杏) in pink, Ryuuki Koike (小池竜暉) in orange, and Yurari Ui (宇井優良梨) in purple. Their seven-member format gives the group a balanced identity between dance performance and vocal harmony.
As a Japanese J-pop act, GENIC appeals to listeners looking for a contemporary mixed dance and vocal group from Japan. Their debut album "GENEX," formation story, and clearly defined lineup make them easy to identify for fans searching for the group online.
