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 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.

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

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