3JSB's song "R.Y.U.S.E.I." has dropped out of the billboard top 25, but it's been ranking in the top 50 for 88 WEEKS. That's hilarious. Let's hope "Feel so Alive" has that kind of lifespan on the charts.
YASSSS! That thumbnail killed me before i even clicked on the video lol.
To me, their best will always be the Clap Your Hands performance during their Tower of Wish concert in 2014, but i guess that counts as Exile Tribe and not just Exile lol
Now then, here's some news for the beginning of April.

I really loved the line distribution in this song. I know Exile tribe have a hard time dividing lines to all vocalists (especially to gene's vocalists), but they managed to do it really well this time, also including the second vocalists and having elly and shokichi rapping too! So good!!
Is Sekai a member of The Rampage? Is he actually a member of any other sub-group under LDH?
Sekai is an original member of EXILE only. Likewise with Taiki.
Actually, now that i think about it, Atsushi, Takahiro, Akira, Sekai, and Taiki are the only original EXILE members left in Exile lmao, the rest are members of other exile tribe groups.

So you're saying that Ace of Spades is not a part of Exile Tribe?
^They're not. Correct me if i'm wrong, but I'm just going by the official LDH website's, wiki's, and sns accounts etc.
The only groups that are a part of EXILE TRIBE are the groups that participate in EXILE TRIBE songs (24 World, The Revolution etc) which are EXILE, The Second, 3JSB, and GENE. The Rampage and Gekidan are also part of EXILE TRIBE but they don't participate in EXILE TRIBE songs because The Rampage haven't officially debuted, and Gekidan are actors.
Joy-Ride will be the official theme song for the Rio Olympics 2016. That means we can almost assure that it will be an upbeat or medium beat song.
"EXILE will be singing the theme song of the Olympic Games 2016, "Joy-ride", for Fuji TV! The lyrics are written by ATSUSHI. What a glorious mission for them, and a pride for us!"

Getting excited to hear Joy Ride!

^ Ahh there was so many HiGH & LOW videos that i just didn't bother posting them
But since we're on topic, SHIRTLESS HIROOMMIIIIII, I live for this
Also, on the topic of HiGH & LOW since it was brought up, here is the mv for GENE's 'Run This Town'
Another thing haha, a message from LDH regarding the drama
~HiGH & LOW comes to your town~
In celebration of the national theater release of "HiGH & LOW THE MOVIE" on 7/16(Sat.)
and to give our thanks to people who always support "HiGH & LOW", stage greeting events will be held nationwide!!
We will visit cinemas in 47 prefectures around Japan in 3 days and present a total of 200 stages!!
The fun part is that you will only find out which artists will come until the event day!!
On the event, the artists will celebrate the theater release and get excited together with those who support "HiGH & LOW"!
Be sure to join us!!
Which members and guests will be present at these events are unknown (it's a "surprise"), so we'll have to wait and see on the day lol
^ I know right?!! Literally every second i was like at another cameo haha!
The guy you're looking for is Tachibana Kenchi If you need any help with names just let me know!
Also regarding Kenchi, he will be appearing on the radio TOKYO FM's "Ito Ayako no Madobede Brunch" on the 7/10(Sun.) 10:30~10:55, and 7/17(Sun.) 10:30~10:55. Most likely to have an interview and promote The Second's new song.
Ah, I forgot to mention this, but The Second from EXILE TRIBEofficially changed their name to EXILE THE SECOND. Imo it sounds better lol, I just hope they don't say anything like "we are EXILE THE SECOND from EXILE TRIBE" because that would sound so lame lmao
