Lyrics

Japanese

ひとつ　扉の向こうで待ちわび
ふたつ　逝ってはいけない闇をも
みっつ　おしえてあげるよ証拠（あかし）を
よっつ　誰もが隠し持っている
いつつ　おしえて欲望の味を
むっつ　怯えたあなたの中まで
ななつ　苛立ち抱えて眠りな
やっつ　閉ざされ朽ち果て堕落

すべてをつつむ　聖なる永遠（とわ）よ
(rislim get you)
(rislim get you)
(rislim get you)

すべてを失い　すべてを手放し
過去を背負われ　未来に捕らわれ
ささげてわたしの胸の傷口を
闇の天使が微笑むそこには

すべてをつつむ　聖なる永遠（とわ）よ
(rislim get you)
(rislim get you)
(rislim get you)

光り募る月よ
闇をはなつ月よ
乾いたこころにふれるように

孤独を照らして　月の光よ
闇に燃え　時は過ぎ去っても　

笑顔も涙も失った月よ
幻の舞う　世界の中

心閉ざし　そして目覚める

English

1. tired of waiting by the gate
2. for even the deathless darkness
3. I will give you proof
4. that everyone carries hidden away
5. tell me the taste of hope
6. deep within your fear
7. irritated sleep in your arms
8. sealed away, decaying in obscurity

O, holy eternity that engulfs everything
(rislim get you)
(rislim get you)
(rislim get you)

Losing everything, relinqushing all
Burdened by the past, trapped by the future
Consecrate this wound in my heart;
There, an angel of darkness smiles

O, holy eternity that engulfs everything
(rislim get you)
(rislim get you)
(rislim get you)

O, moon that invites the light,
O, moon that frees the darkness,
Trembling as if your soul had dried out

The moon shines down on my solitude
Even as time burns into the darkness

This moon that's lost both tears and laughter
Dancing amidst a world of illusions

She closes her heart, and then awakens

Song Connections / Remixes

• A remix of RISLIM by Hisashi Nawata, titled RISLIM -Remix-, can found in beatmania IIDX 9th style.
• An extended version of RISLIM can found on AKIRA YAMAOKA's first album, iFUTURELIST.

Trivia

• RISLIM was supposed to have a full video by GOLI (which would've made it his first standalone video in beatmania IIDX), but was cut back to a few images due to production headlines. A similar problem later occurred with moon_child.
• RISLIM's overlays were removed from the beatmania IIDX arcade games as of beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro due to technical issues.

Song Production Information

AKIRA YAMAOKA

I think it's really cool *g*
I'm probably the only one though ... *g*
Well, when you hear the song, and the question comes to mind, "What does RISLIM mean?" ... I think it's a great nuance.

Video Production Information

GOLI

Yamaoka-san! I'm sorry.
I should have made this movie myself. Yes. However, in the end, I made it as a sequence of key animations. Yes. I really am very sorry. (By the way, I produced over 20 times the material for this song than what you see .... ... but in the battle for time and storage, it fell down to these three images.)

Among all of 5th style, doesn't this song stand out the most? It's a very concentrated piece of music. I can hear it within this work. I want to take it to its limits, building up every little piece until it reaches its maximum potential, without having to worry about burdening the other staff ...... If I had to pick the best song from 5th style, it'd be this, the second installation in Yamaoka-san's "Moon" series.

yamaokasan......surelynexttime......

Here are the lyrics to the song, which i requested from Yamaoka-san so I could work on the movie.
