"Revolution Now" by RUEED & Kon Ryu marks the fifth and final installment of the "HOLD ON! ONEWAY" project, launched in celebration of PUSHIM's 25th anniversary.
Following J-REXXX's "SOUND SYSTEM," CORN HEAD's "Liar," Rudebwoy Face's "One," and AKANE's "NO MORE CRY," the series concludes with a powerful statement that brings the spirit of reggae and a message for the future to the forefront.
"Reggae Revolution / bringing up the vibration" - as the title suggests, the track delivers a declaration of revolution through reggae music.
With lyrics such as "the world is in confusion" and "a situation growing more polarized," the song reflects on the divisions and uncertainty shaping today's world, while simultaneously illuminating a path forward through the power of music.
The message carried by RUEED and Kon Ryu goes beyond protest; it is deeply rooted in spirituality.
Lines like "meditation through this sound" and "the destination is Zion" highlight reggae's spiritual essence and its enduring role as music that frees the mind and uplifts the soul.
At the same time, the repeated refrain "Reggae music connecting all over the world" expresses the universal power of music to unite people beyond borders, cultures, and differences.
Drawing from roots tradition while sending a message from Japan to the world, the track embodies a sense of scale and purpose fitting for the grand finale of the series.
Carrying forward the spirit of PUSHIM's "HOLD ON!," Revolution Now" stands as a bold declaration that reggae music can inspire unity and transformation.
Released via PUSHIM's own label, "groovillage", the track serves as the climactic closing chapter of the "HOLD ON! ONEWAY" project.
