JESUS AND MARIA – Rize

Kush Berry RIZE

This track powerfully expresses a thirst for youth and freedom.

It was included on the 2008 album “K.O.” and later featured on the 2013 best-of album “Fet Best.” With reggae-like rhythmic guitar and distinctive rap, it’s an energetic song that makes your body move.

The phrase “I can’t stay a dreaming boy (girl)” leaves a strong impression, vividly portraying the feelings of young people who want to break free from the constraints they face while growing up.

It’s a song for those on a journey of self-discovery or feeling stifled by everyday life—one that will surely give you fresh courage and vitality.

LOCAL DEFENCE ORGANIZATIONRIZE24rank/position

RIZE – Local Defense Organization (A.V.E.S.T. 6 – Shibuya Ax)

This is a song that gets me hyped and helps me focus.

During the ambient part in the interlude, it feels like my body is floating in midair.

I feel like this track represents the perfected form of the mixture sound RIZE has been pursuing.

Light Your FireRIZE25rank/position

RIZE 『Light Your Fire』Music Video

Light Your Fire is the first single released after TOKIE, the original bassist since the band’s formation, left and the group became a four-piece.

It’s one of RIZE’s signature songs, marking a shift to a rougher yet more powerful sound, and it’s a staple favorite at their live shows.

Live or DieRIZE26rank/position

RIZE / Live or Die -Music Video-

This is their 13th single, released in 2008, and it’s also included on the album K.O.

It starts with a light, brisk acoustic guitar sound, and among RIZE’s tracks it’s by far the poppiest, but the hardness of the rap parts still makes you think, “Yep, that’s RIZE.” The video direction is cute and easy to get into.

The lyrics are full of self-introduction and show a lot of JESSE’s off-time side, enjoying skateboarding.

MUPPETRIZE27rank/position

RIZE / MUPPET – Music Video –

The song “MUPPET,” which became the theme for the PSP game Kurohyo: Ryu ga Gotoku Shinsho, is a standout.

Speaking of RIZE, many of their tracks feature thick, memorable guitar riffs, but in this song they use delay to repeat a simple phrase.

That’s what defines the vibe here, right? JESSE’s rap over the dance beat in the A-melody is seriously cool—an absolute must-hear!

Released in 2001, this is the title track of their third single, following Kaminari and Why I’m Me.

It features tribal drumming and a catchy riff that’s neither too heavy nor too light.

The highlight of the song is, without a doubt, the bass solo.

Both the original bassist TOKIE and the current bassist KenKen bring their own unique flavor to it.
