Proudly

"Proudly (feat. RiRiUM)" is the 6th single from RiRiUM-a vocal entertainment unit featuring Rikka, Rinpopo, and Umachan.
This marks the second collaboration written exclusively for the group by trackmaker project AMBIVALENCE / $.odÅ, following their previous work, "Lily (feat. RiRiUM)."

The lyrics for this release were penned by member Umachan.
Inspired by the song's heavy, classical resonance, the words trace a journey toward maturity-growing into an "adult" who shoulders responsibility, serving as a powerful counterpoint to the innocent girlhood depicted in "Lily."

The strings, infusing the track with both desperate cries and radiant light, are performed by Rikka on the violin.
Her mastery as she navigates the complex, soaring melodic lines can only be described as breathtaking.

$.odÅ's signature distorted guitar-heavy and dark-shrouds the soundscape like a storm-laden sky, weaving a narrative that bleeds with different emotions at every turn.

Into this meticulously crafted space, main vocalist Rinpopo's opening note reigns supreme.
It is followed by the crystalline high tones of Rikka and the soul-stirring, deep resonance of Umachan, echoing through the void.

If a single soul were missing, this sound-this world-would not exist.
Deepening their bond as a creative team and carrying their individual pride, they strike out this melody with every fiber of their being.

Raise the flag.

The world does not yet know the depths of our strength.
