An "alternative song and dance group" was born out of the school-style audition project "0-nen 0-gumi -Av-chan's Classroom-" (broadcast from January to April 2023), in which Av-chan, the vocalist of Queen Bee, became the producer and homeroom teacher to create a unique group. "Ryugujo.
They have released a CD single "WALTZ", the ending theme song for the anime "Kuroshitsuji: The Green Witch", which has attracted attention from various industries, and released a new song "OSHIBAI" on July 30 (Wed.). The music video was also released on YouTube at 20:00 on the same day.

The new song "OSHIBAI," the first song under the self-produced system, stoically depicts the mental struggle of having difficulties and the process of getting out of it and liberating oneself.

Wearing fur reminiscent of a red lion, the costumes are multi-colored and ragged. The song is a dizzying diversity of characters, from the intense and powerful preaching-like verse section to the gentle and delicate melodic development of the choruses. The lyrics, "I'm going to do the play from the end," and "I have to become someone else to do it," show a strong will to break out of the status quo by possessing a new self. The song is a perfect example of "alternative" individuality, taking a unique path in the age of boy group warfare.

The sound teaser video that was released prior to the release of the album, along with the words "WHAT'S ALTERNATIVE? The lyrics were written by Haru Saiki, a member of the band. The lyrics were written by Harusora Saiki, KEIGO, and ITARU, and we have received self-liner notes from them. Please check out the lyrics and the music.
We hope you will look forward to Ryuguji, who, like a rising dragon, will soar around the world and grow deeper and higher as an artist.

OSHIBAI" self liner notes by Harusora Saiki

I've shaped my drive to inspire my weak self to overcome my weak self.
The song is called "OSHIBAI.
Everyone has two selves.
Some people have it before they know it, others to protect themselves,
Some of you may have it in your heart to control yourself.
Those were the days when you didn't have to think so deeply.
At some point, a sense of responsibility comes along with it and they become "adults".
Even if you didn't want to be,
I had to become.
It had to be.
I have to be someone like that to make it.
So much so that you can't live without someone to protect you.
It's hard, and sometimes I want to chastise myself, but I don't want you to hate yourself.
Finding Hope from "Compassion" rather than "Hatred"
To live today that you can love yourself tomorrow
When will you be with this song?
I wish you all the best in your efforts to move forward with positivity and dedication.

OSHIBAI" self liner notes KEIGO

Different from others, therefore superior.
Trying to be different from others
Not so,
To be oneself.
We believe it is stronger and more beautiful than anything else.

The backs of those who will receive the music of the Dragon Palace,
We are always wriggling and moving forward, hoping that we can give a little boost.

Always encountering new things and in the midst of change,
Time is forgotten, and music is truly enjoyable,
It is the original to deliver a live performance that feels beautiful,
The passion for the music and expression of Ryuguji will remain unchanged in the future.
This much is certain.

Honest to the music.
Pushing through the endless expression.
Forever filled with excitement for the encounters ahead.
Living in the Dragon's Palace

OSHIBAI" self liner notes ITARU

"The Play."
The word can mean many different things.
Play someone else, be someone else.
Upon further research, I found that the etymology of the word comes from "to stay on the grass.

How does such a play relate to us?
It was just in front of me.
You're fighting every day.
In one's self,
intractable
You'll want to run away.
I think there are times when that is the case.

but
To fight through there, you have to find a new you.
I have the courage to try things I would normally hesitate to do.

in this way
Over and over again.
You need to renew yourself.
I will thicken the layers of who I am.
It is a play in everyday life,
This is the thought behind the new song "OSHIBAI".
