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-, appears in beatmania IIDX 9th style.
• An extended rock remix of RISLIM appears in AKIRA YAMAOKA's first album, iFUTURELIST.

Trivia

• According to Akira Yamaoka's comments in the Q&A corner of the beatmania IIDX 5th style official website, he wanted to include the vocalist's name "ric" in RISLIM's song title.
• GOLI was supposed to make a full video for RISLIM (which would've made it his first standalone video in beatmania IIDX), but it was reduced to three overlay animations due to storage capacity and production time issues. 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.
• RISLIM is unlockable in beatmania IIDX INFINITAS (2020) from January 6th, 2021 after purchasing its charts with BITs.

Song Production Information

AKIRA YAMAOKA

I think it's "cool" (laughs).
I don't think anyone else but me can clear this (laughs).
Then, when you hear this song and ask "what does RISLIM mean?", it has an even greater nuance.

Video Production Information

GOLI

YAMAOKA. I'm sorry.
I was supposed to make this movie myself. That's right.
However, I eventually converted them into overlay animations. That's right.
I'm very sorry. (By the way, I drew over 20 times the material for this song...... but from the struggle against storage capacity and time, I reduced them to these three animations)

Among all the songs included in 5th, doesn't this song quite stand out?
It's a concentrated piece. I constantly listened to it during production.
On maximum volume. I even turned up the volume until it reached maximum.
I didn't notice that I annoyed the other staff members......
This is the song I chose for 5th. This is the second song in YAMAOKA's Moon series.

yamaoka...... surelynexttime......
