Set to a powerful rhythm, this song sings about children growing strong.
It’s included on the third album, “Natural Vibes.” As the title suggests, it might be fair to call it RIZE’s own kind of cheer song for kids.
MUPPETRIZE
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!

One of RIZE’s appeals is that it’s not all heavy and loud tracks.
This song, included on their fourth album “Spit & Yell,” has a happy vibe that evokes the summer sea, showcasing RIZE’s catchy side to the fullest.

LAUGH IT OUTRIZE with Hayato
This is a song that was featured as the theme for “Box!”, starring Hayato Ichihara—an actor who’s friends with JESSE—and also appears as a featured track itself.
It’s a rough, powerful RIZE-style tune that laughs off prejudice and stereotypes.
The rap by Hayato Ichihara and JESSE is incredibly cool.
ZERORIZE
Released in 2009 as their 14th single, this track was featured in a Coca-Cola Zero commercial.
With roaring guitars, slap bass, and a bouncing beat, it’s quintessentially RIZE as a three-piece.
Yet the final chorus shifts to a gentle melody, reflecting JESSE’s growth during this era and serving as a sign that RIZE had matured—in the best way.
LADY LOVERIZE
This is their 12th single, released in 2007, and it’s also included on the album K.O.
The spacey tone, phrasing, and visual direction all give the impression that KenKen—who had just joined the band around this time—was showcasing his strengths.
It’s a track that further evolves the digital sound developed in KAMI/heiwa.
Good DayRIZE

This is a track where the guitar sound keeps ringing pleasantly just behind the heavy bassline.
In life there are good days and bad days, but just because something bad happens doesn’t mean you should stay down—nothing will start that way! The lyrics carry a powerful message like this that lifts your spirits.
