rice Taking a Break from Band Activities

Yesterday another band announced to go on hiatus. It’s Visual Kei band rice.

On December 25th they will give a Christmas live at Akasaka Blitz and it turned out that this will be the band’s last live before going on indefinite hiatus after more than 11 years of band history.

The first reason for taking a break is that they have to revise the band's system and management. Furthermore they need a break in order to create new songs. 
Vocalist Yuki stated that there are no fights between the members and also no bankrupt. They just need the time to think some things over. He definitely wants to come back as “rice” and hopes that their fans will wait for them.

[Revue] "Acacia" blossoms with rice

This 12th maxi single by rice consisting of gentle ballads was released on June 6. This is actually a "piano single" as the main instrument is the piano, bringing the taste of classical music to the song, coupled with the voice of Yuki Sakurai -- in the very first track "あかしあ" (acacia). The cello is creating a sense of operetta additionally.

The second track "Limp" is strongly influenced by jazz and its rhythm, mostly through the sound of the guitar and drums played by Kazuhiro Murata. 
The releases differ starting with the third track. In the limited edition there's " 朗読" (roudoku), which means "recitation" and, standing true to its title, it features a child's recitation layered with the sound of the piano. It does sound really interesting and the lyrics are very touching. One might wonder who this boy could be...

The fourth track "泪" (namida) is instrumental. It sounds a bit like a variation of "睡-nemuri-" (sui-nemuri-) from rice's last single "糸" (ito). However, in the regular edition of this single there's an acoustic version of the same song, "睡-nemuri-", which is the third track on the disk and very passionately performed at that! There is no doubt that it is rock music, even though it features a piano and an acoustic guitar. 

I've come to think this track has become a little discovery to rice' members: music like this can be rock music too, and it can no doubt carry a lot of power.
 I hope after listening to the single you'll love it as much as I do now!
