Goodbye Sunset feat. Emi OkamotoRIP SLYME
Featuring Emi Okamoto as a guest vocalist, this is a bittersweet yet groovy disco track.
It nostalgically portrays the end of a summer romance from both male and female perspectives.
While the man reminisces from the present, the woman sings as if she were still in that moment, like in a dream—an arrangement that further highlights the emotional distance between them.
Released in July 2022 as part of a series from the trio lineup, this piece is perfect for those evenings at summer’s end when an old love crosses your mind—the mellow beat will gently wrap your aching heart.
It’s a song that lets you sink into your feelings, yet makes your body sway before you know it.

This song closes out the second half of the album TOKYO CLASSIC, the group’s first to achieve million-seller status.
Released in July 2002, it paints a poignant picture of a summer gone by, carried on the gentle timbre of acoustic guitar.
Without using direct words, its poetic lyrics skillfully evoke the great blossoms blooming in the night sky, richly stirring the listener’s imagination.
Kj from Dragon Ash also contributed on bass, which became a talking point; his warm groove hints at RIP SLYME’s musical evolution.
It’s a standout ballad, perfect for a sentimental night spent reminiscing at summer’s end.
FUNKASTICRIP SLYME
A party tune themed around funk and pop.
The title seems to mean Funky + Funtastic.
Each member’s part is overall bright, breezy, and an uplifting masterpiece.
Later, it was used in a promo for Toyota’s new bB, where it was featured as FANKASTIC BATTLE, collaborating with guitarist Tomoyasu Hotei.
Hot chocolateRIP SLYME
Included on the 11th single and the album “EPOCH.” The theme is Valentine’s Day and chocolate, and it’s a song that blends cuteness with sexiness.
It evokes the scene of a sweet, fleeting love that melts like chocolate, and just listening to it makes the taste of chocolate seem to spread in your mouth.
Jungle FeverRIP SLYME
An upbeat track with a summer vibe.
It’s said to be inspired by the movie Jungle Fever.
The unique electronic sounds and playful touches hidden among effects that make you feel like you’re in the jungle are a distinctive charm that could only come from RIP SLYME.

Wish Upon a StarRIP SLYME
A digital-only track included on the best-of album “GOOD TIMES.” It portrays a man’s anxiety about not having a girlfriend at Christmastime, conveying both loneliness and a certain endearing quality.
His desperate wish for a girlfriend—even to the point of wishing upon a star—is depicted vividly, making it a song you can enjoy with a playful sense of humor.
UNDER THE SUNRIP SLYME
Within the laid-back groove, you can feel the playfulness and RIP SLYME’s pop sensibility.
It’s unexpectedly pop, catchy, and cool—a track I’d recommend even to people who don’t usually listen to hip-hop.
RYO-Z has dubbed this song a “brand-new track for a coast-to-coast summer festival tour.”
