Animedia December 2024 - cozmez Birthday Q&A
What's Up? Pararai [50th edition]December 24th is the birthday of Kanata and Nayuta from cozmez. Happy birthday to both of them! This month, we asked cozmez for comment.
In Battle of Unity (henceforce BoU), the teams that have participated in the Paradox Live before will be split up into two teams -- Avengers and Revengers -- and go up against each other one-on-one. It will finally kick off in January of 2025. Round 1's battle will be between GokuLuck and cozmez. Functionally abandoned by their parents and living in poverty while being oppressed and exploited by the adults around them, cozmez truly embody the battle theme of "SURVIVE". The two of them celebrate their birthday on December 24th. For a birthday project, we've surprised them with a Q&A, so in light of the fifth anniversary, let's find out what's changed and what's stayed the same for them ♪
What have cozmez been up to recently?
Following "Road to Legend", it seemed that cozmez's battle had maybe drawn to a close. However, they've released a new song for participation in BoU, "We Gotta Go", and they appeared for the 5th anniversary event in super cool street-style outfits, and their momentum will be hard to stop!What's coming up for cozmez?
Up until now, the twins haven't really gotten very involved with any other teams, but in BoU they'll be teamed up with AMPRULE, VISTY, and Akan Yatsura, and more than that, they'll be doing a song with the winter team with a group of seven... while they're facing new challenges, they're also staying together in both BoU and the Seasonal Show, so we hope that they'll continue to show off how "as long as they're together, they're unbeatable".Yatonokami Nayuta
