R.I.P.'s lineup has changed in a spectacular way.

On June 22nd, R.I.P. have teased on Twitter that they will release new photos of each band member's new look for every 100 retweets. Sure enough, the fans didn't disappoint and we slowly see the reveals one by one.

We weren't surprised when it revealed that there are new members that have joined the band, but what did surprised us is that R.I.P. has revealed they have not one, not two, but three new members in their lineup!

The average number of members in a VK band tends to often be 4 to 5 people. On a rare occasion, a VK band may end up with 6 members if they wanted a third guitarist or a member who can the synthesizer/keyboard. So having 7 members in a band is a special feat indeed!

The new members that have joined the band and have their new looks revealed by June 24th consists of Guitarist Sena (瀬那) (ex-Rabyrinth), Bassist Rubito (月独) (ex-VARIE), and Manipulator TEXAS HOME RUN (テキサスホームラン).

Let's give a warm welcome to these three members into R.I.P.!


To commemorate their new lineup, the group will put out a new live-limited single release, -SEVEN-, on August 27th. This single is limited to the venue HOLIDAY NEXT NAGOYA, which they will perform a Oneman live show "Souretsu no Tenshi (「葬列の天使」)" on that day.

This comment is awaiting approval.

These costumes look really cool.

But what's doing it for me is that they named someone TEXAS HOMERUN, and have the twitter handle Rest_in_peace44? This is camp
