Rides In ReVellion The indelible proof that the five of us lived together at the graduation performance of Drummer Ame! And the new regime of Rides In ReVellion, which has chosen to continue to resist even if there are four people, declares the February 2021 tour in Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka!

In the midst of moving forward and moving into the future, sometimes one has to face an irresistible fate. Ame, the drummer, who has been on the same path for a long time, graduated on this day. Although their paths may be different, the bond between the five of them, deeply bonded together, will never change.

On Sunday, November 22, at Takadanobaba AREA, Rides In ReVellion held the "Genseiki LAST ONEMAN 'Aragau koto yurusarenai kono sekai de' ('In This World That Cannot Be Resisted')" event. This show was a substitute for a previous show, which had been postponed since April due to the corona crisis. Should we be honestly happy that it was finally held...? Many people must have been able to witness the live performance with a touch of sadness, as it was also the day of Ame's graduation. For those who couldn't come to the venue, a live feed was also broadcasted on that day. This is a recap of the day's events, which was packed with fans.

The last stage of the 5-member band opened with 「INNOVATOR」 as if to invade the hearts of the audience who had gathered in spite of such a difficult situation, and those who had been unable to come to the show due to various reasons, but were watching the show through the live streaming service. With the heavy sound in the background, Kuro expressed his feelings with a dignified expression and voice. They dared to suppress their emotions, and pressed on in a cool manner. However, the audience, itching to catch their thoughts, jumped up and down to the music and opened their arms wide to catch the sound with their whole bodies. The music of Rides In ReVellion gradually grew in intensity, with its slow and fast paced expressions.

"Let's get started!" was the signal for the song to start barking with all its might. Touching on 「NEVER VANISHING BULLET HOLE」, the spirit of the song began to heat up. Kuro's singing voice and the members' feverish performance became sound bullets that penetrated their bodies one after another. Countless fists are already shooting up from all over the floor. Witnessing the scene, the members were calmly pushing their bodies forward, trying to feel the heat boiling from the floor, if only a little.

"AREA, don't miss the last train. Enjoy this wholeheartedly!" In response to Kuro's call, the floor was thrown into a roar with 「最終列車 桜通り 手を振る君へ」 ("Saishuu Ressha Sakura Dori Te wo Furu KIMI e") and everyone on the floor joined in with the outpouring of emotions, waving their hands and waving their heads in the air. In the midst of the fierce performance, the hearts of the audience were chasing after Kuro's voice and the lyrics of the song, which were filled with sadness and hope, just like the mellow song that shook the hearts of the audience.

He enthusiastically sang 「紫煙」 ("Shien") to bring the floor's excited feelings into the vortex of enthusiasm. The strong attack of the performance was intertwined with the song that shook their hearts in a painful and comfortable way, giving highs and lows to the emotions of those who touched them. Many hands were swaying on the floor. The members, with their eyelids firmly fixed on the image of the hands, thrust their wistful melodies and wild sounds onto the tight beat from Ame.

"I think everyone here has a lot of thoughts and feelings. We're not going to cut corners by a millimeter. We'll do our best to survive this moment and live it to the fullest. Today is our last night together as a group of five. We're going to make sure we enjoy it now."

The band performed 「衝動DIRTY」 ("Shoudou DIRTY") as if to impale the emotions that started to boil out of them with impulses. The guitars of TaJI and Tsubaki played with a sharp edge that seemed to pierce through the distortions, and Nagisa and Ame's rhythm section pounded out a galloping rock'n'roll beat. On top of that, Kuro sang with a catchy and gripping song. On the verge of wanting to unleash their passionate feelings, they smash it into each other.

The drummer Ame's beat was the cue for the rod team to start layering their intense sounds. 「Sense」 shows a digital, loud and groovy performance. The audience, immersed in the swell and roar of the performance, sometimes folding their bodies and sometimes holding their hands up high.

"It's time for you guys to get serious!" They began with 「SiNGULARITY」 as if to crash into a thunderous mass of sound, skillfully intermingling the piercing intensity of the song with the large scale expressions that would lead their hearts to the magnificent world, freeing the minds of the audience.

They continued with the stadium-style digi-rock number 「-273.15℃」 with its magnificent sound and tickling songs, creating a landscape of dancing hair on the floor. The five of them led the audience to the scenery of ecstasy beyond the limits.

Kuro continued to stir up the audience as the song ended. "Let me have your head! !" Kuro screamed, the audience jumped on the explosive performance and 「Close.」. Inspired by the driving performance, hot blood erupts throughout your body. As if to release the boiling emotions, the whole floor raised their hands in the air and scattered their thoughts, sometimes bouncing. The twin guitar melodies of TaJI and Tsubaki in the interlude also excited the audience.

Further gearing up the enthusiasm, they continued with 「ANOXIA」. Even the slightest shift up was a mass of sound that increased in scale. The performance and voice, with its swelling power, swallowed up the body and the feelings as the sound of emotions.

Is the scenery blurring into a frenzy a mirage? No, it's a blur in the field of vision, reflected in sweat-stained eyelids. 「MIRAGE」 further drains the heat from the body. Some people on the floor continued to turn around in response to Kuro's agitation. During the performance, the call and response between the members' shouts and the audience's raised fists erupted. No matter how much they were sweating, whenever they were inspired by the sound, the power continued to boil over like a fountain. The spectacle of their spiritedness and spirit collided with each other, which had been created many times on stage and floor. The live performance is only halfway through. Tonight, they are going to push each other to the limit. No, it has already become...

As soon as the song 「HORIZON」 was played, the whole floor started jumping up and down with their right hands in the air. Everyone was trying to grab the song and the performance to depict the emotional drama with their raised hands.

"In a world where we were not allowed to resist, we still continued to resist. Take our statement of defiance, the five of us!"

They have not been a voice of rebellion. They just bared their fangs of rebellion and are still baring their fangs, hoping to turn back those who mocked their will and way of life. The song 「-反抗声明-」 ("-Hankou Seimei-") is a declaration song that inspires you to move forward forcefully. As people who resonated with those words gathered here, they continued to raise their voices together, engraving the song of life in their hearts, just as the people who resonated with those words gathered here.

「Eternal-渇望の空-」 ("Eternal~Katsubou no Sora~") is played so that this scenery and this feeling are etched into the mind and into the body as proof that they cannot be erased forever. It was sung and performed in the same way, as if to engrave the same indelible thoughts and memories into the hearts of the people who came to this place with the same feelings, as well as each of the people who were beyond the screen. While my heart burned hotly in my chest, my mind continued to smoke dully with the drops of tears that poured down one after another. I didn't want to burn out doing so, either. Because I still wanted to shake my heart with the same feeling in this heat. My heart was trembling hotly, touched by Kuro's emotional voice, which could not be conveyed in words alone.

The encore opened with the song 「Rosé」, which could be called the beginning of their career, and the five members brought the volume of their emotions to the max from the start, throwing their all into the show. The people on the floor spread their hands wide and grabbed their energy. They shared their joyful feelings with each other to make crimson petals bloom on this earth together.

"We don't know what the future holds, but I believe that what we have left behind will continue to shine brightly, and the four of us will continue with Rides In ReVellion so as not to diminish that shine. From here on out, I want to imagine the future and sing about it. Even though each future we are about to start is different, we hope that some day, somewhere, our paths will cross again and we will laugh at each other..." (Kuro)

Kuro began to sing 「道-TAO-」 as if to accompany the gentle sound of TaJI's clawing acoustic guitar, carrying all kinds of mental baggage for the future, and step by step starting from here with strength. Although the tune of the song was tinged with melancholy, the song and its performance were imbued with the strong will of the five members to move forward to tomorrow.

"This is the last song written by the five members. We wrote it while imagining the future. As long as this song continues to be in our hearts and in your hearts, Rides In ReVellion will continue to walk." (Kuro)

They carved their thoughts, which they did not want to erase forever, into 「N/EVER FOREVER」. This song is not a farewell song, a song of departure, or a song to start a new path. It's a song that reveals that these five people are Rides In ReVellion. As long as the song lives on in your heart, the Rides In ReVellion of the five of them will never disappear.

And the song they chose to play for the real end was 「カレタソレイユ」 ("Kareta SOLEIL"). Everyone was shouting in an inaudible voice. The thoughts that the five conveyed from the stage, the song with life, were firmly connected to the hearts of those who were there and those who were watching on the other side of the screen. Whenever that piece pulsates to life, we can return to the landscape of this day. By feeling the proof of life there, we can remember the promise that we, and they, will keep going. We can return to the feelings we felt that day and take another strong step into tomorrow. It was a night when they handed us a piece of that promise.

Finally, Kuro also announced the future of the new Rides In ReVellion group, which will perform a tour in February 2021 in Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka. Of course no one knows what will happen in the future, for there is no promised future.

But what kind of path the four of them will take from here? I'd like to keep on spelling out how they will continue to resist.
