Prizmmy (プリズミー☆, Purizumī, stylized as Prizmmy☆) was a Japanese girl group formed by Avex Pictures in 2012. The group became famous through the Pretty Rhythm anime series. They hosted live-action parts in each episode. Their first song, "Everybody's Gonna Be Happy," was released on March 16, 2012. It was an ending theme song for Pretty Rhythm: Aurora Dream. The members of Prizmmy even appeared as cartoon characters in Pretty Rhythm: Dear My Future to help promote their music and activities.
After the Pretty Rhythm series ended, Prizmmy continued to sing theme songs for the next series, PriPara. They often performed with a trainee group called Prism Mates who were their back-up dancers. When they performed together, they were known as Prism Box. Prizmmy disbanded on March 31, 2017, after the PriPara series finished.
