## Description

***Translation may contains some errors***

Pulled by a strange magnetic force, NMIXX somehow broke through the walls of the world and discovered the existence of a whole new world. The girls set foot into a mystical world where everything they IMAGINE becomes REALITY. But soon, a giant whirlwind appears in front of them as the girls face the first real obstacle of their wild journey.
Every human being lives their life in fear. The fear and anxiety that the girls themselves created were too powerful. The gigantic shadows and swirling waves of chaotic thoughts, derived from the deepest depths of their subconsciousness, began to threaten NMIXX.
In a game-like journey, the girls who got the chance to expand their own world, ‘MIXX’, eventually realize a fact that would change their lives forever. The fact that the DICE has already been thrown, and the power to make their fate lies within their own hands.
Through the life-changing experiences they have went through during their journey towards ‘MIXXTOPIA’ with expanding their ‘MIXX’, the girls finally learn how to fully accept and realize their own emotions (COOL (Your Rainbow)) and understand the importance of having faith in their own choices. Now, the fate of NMIXX is in the hands of the girls.
Now, the most important question of all. Does that huge shadow that threatens you come from the ‘outside’? Or, does it come from ‘within you’?
In the New Frontier series, NMIXX willingly throw their selves into the adventures, even knowing that the journey will be full of trials and tribulations. And throughout their journey, they were able to create their own set of rules. The girls will now continue to find the meaning of existence and make countless decisions under their own names. Then, the girls will reach out their hands toward you so that you can face your own fears and break through them, leading you to a ‘WONDERFUL NEW WORLD’ that lies over the rainbow.

## Composition

"DICE" is described as NMIXX's genre 'MIXX POP' which is a genre that mixes the hip hop genre with the jazz sound, dreamy trap, pop, and an addictive beat. The chorus is stated to be addicted that is based on the rhythmical brass. The lyrics talk about comparing the adventure NMIXX of trying to move past the enemy's interference to a game. A secret warning will help them to not fall in the trap that makes the person dizzy. The game played creates a lot of tension as they move forward and is not easy.

"COOL (Your rainbow)" is described as a pop ballad genre song. The song features a 808 base alongside a trap beat, dreamy brass, and classical strings. NMIXX's unique tone shows throughout the song.
