Zyyg is a Japanese rock band under B-Gram Records label. Their management office was Seas Music Factory. On April 1, 2019, it was announced their activities would resume after more than two decades.

The formation of band started in 1992 with Seiki and Seiichirou together.

In May 1993, they debuted with single Kimi ga Hoshikute Tamaranai. This debut single was used as a commercial song for Suntory's beer. The single reached #3 on Oricon Weekly Charts, sold over 700,000 copies, and charted over 16 weeks. After this single, additional members Naoki Uzumoto and Naoki Orii joined in recording.

In June 1993, Seiki participated in collaboration single Hateshinai Yume wo with Zard, the members of Wands and Rev. The single was used as a theme song for NTV television sport program Geki Kuukan Pro Yakyuu93. The single was recorded for the first time on Zard compilation album ZARD BEST The Single Collection: Kiseki in 1999.

In November 1993, they released second single Kaze ni Mabushii, which was used as a commercial song for sport brand Victoria. The single reached into top 10 on Oricon Weekly charts and sold 170,000 copies.

In 1994 their sales declined with singles Kowashitai Genjitsu and No Return Love which reached only into top 30 of Oricon Weekly Charts, but still sold more than 10,000 copies. In July, as the last work of the original member lineup, they released their debut studio album Go Wild. The album reached #13 on Oricon Weekly charts and sold only 66,000 copies. After failures to catch audience interest, Seiichirou left the band and continued to focus on his solo career, along with Naoki Uzumoto and Naoki Orii as well.

In the beginning of 1995, new members Kouji, Naoki and Kenichi joined Seiki's band. In May, they released their first single of the second lineup, the band's fifth overall single Zettai ni Dare mo, composed by Tetsuro Oda. The single was used as a second opening theme for anime television series Slam Dunk. The single reached #3 on Oricon Weekly charts, sold more than 28,000 copies, and charted over 10 weeks. This song become their third biggest, and the last single which reached into the top #30 charts.

In November 1995, with the release of single Julie, their sales dropped once again; the single did not reach top charts. Julia was used as an ending theme for the TV Asahi music program Ongaku News HO.
