Tokyo Cosmo Cats' 'CHARISMA' Wins Triple Honors at MUSE Creative Awards

The cross-cultural music video 'CHARISMA' from the creative team Tokyo Cosmo Cats has won three awards at the MUSE Creative Awards 2026. The project, which fuses Japanese and Egyptian culture, took platinum awards in the Video - Art & Design and Video - Music Video categories, and a gold award in Video - Cultural.

This follows a double win at the Tokyo Design Awards 2026, where it also received platinum and gold awards. The video has surpassed 5.5 million views globally.

The track features vocals by SHO and production by Abo Abeer.
