Female idol group Rainbow will make a comeback to the local music scene with a dance number composed by popular J-pop artist Daishi Dance, informed the group’s agency DSP Media on Wednesday.

According to a press release by DSP, the seven-member group will release a mini-album in early April and will feature its title track composed by Daishi Dance, a famous music producer, composer and DJ in Japan.

The statement said that Daishi Dance proposed the collaboration after listening to Rainbow's music in a car radio during his last visit to Korea. He visited the country several times since then, including for when he offered a song and produced it.

The upcoming song, which has yet to be named, will be a powerful dance number incorporating delicate and emotional sounds from the piano.

Daishi Dance, who has seen his own albums sweep several dance charts at home, is a well-known producer and composer of songs for other famous J-pop artists such as Hamasaki Ayumi, SMAP and Nakashima Mika. He also composed Korean idol group Big Bang’s hit song "Haru Haru” (Day after Day).

Rainbow, formed of members Kim Jae-kyung, Oh Seung-a, Koh Woo-ri, No Eul, Jung Yoon-hye, Kim Ji-sook and Cho Hyun-young, made their debut in November 2009 with their single "Gossip Girl."

They have been appearing as regulars for a Japanese TV show titled "HAN LOVE" which focuses on Korean entertainment since July.
