i realise i never see posts about raise a suilen on banpa and i want more people to know about and appreciate them so here's a (hopefully short) introductory post!

so what is raise a suilen? raise a suilen (RAS) is a 3D girls band comprising of raychell (centre) on vocals and bass, kohara riko (extreme right) on guitar, kurachi reo (extreme left) on keyboard, natsume (middle left) on the drums and tsumugi risa (middle right) as their dj! you may know them as their interim name the third, which was given as they were the third band to perform live!

the third was created to back ran, aya and kokoro's seiyuus during the garupa live in tokyo event in january this year as the bands' seiyuus are unable to play their respective instruments. since then, they've had their 1st and 2nd lives and were the opening act for popipa and roselia's 5th lives. it was in their 2nd live that tsumutsumu joined them and they were given their official name raise a suilen

in their lives, they usually cover the songs of the three non-performing bands! their keyboardist reo-chan also does vocals for songs like egao no orchestra and shuwa shuwa she's super cute (sorry i'm biased!) they also had saechi and amita (tae and aya's seiyuus) as guests at their lives!!! mikku (kokoro's seiyuu) will also be appearing as a guest in their performance on day 1 of the 6th live! but RAS also has original songs, and you can watch them on youtube they're so damn good! they recently uploaded 'unstoppable' on the bandori channel and like. it's so high energy i lost my shit.

here're some links to watch RAS: riot, unstoppable, their cover of that is how i roll! ft saechi & the third backing amita

thank you for reading this post! all five members of RAS will be at charaexpo usa so if you're going please don't forget to send them some love too! and a very important p.s. please watch unstoppable reo-chan literally does a KICK i screamed!!!!
