[Dispatch=Reporter Gu Minji] RIIZE is releasing a new album in Japan.

RIIZE will release their third Japanese single 'Sunburst' on the 26th. They will also release the music video for the title track of the same name through the SMTOWN channel.

'Sunburst' is a house-based dance track. The widely unfolding synths and rhythmic beats create harmony. It carries the refreshing feeling of a summer day.

The lyrics are also sweet. They express the desire to share this moment with someone and paint a future together through sunlight pouring brilliantly beneath the sky.

The performance is structured dramatically like a musical. Free-flowing bounces and footwork are the highlights. Motions like wiping sweat and energetic jumps are included.

The B-side track 'RIIZE Over' was selected as the theme song for the 'Winter Cup 2026' (SoftBank ウインターカップ2026), Japan's nationwide high school basketball championship to be held in December.

It is a fast-paced rock music track. It carries the spirit of challenge symbolized by the Winter Cup. RIIZE delivers courage and hope to all those heading toward their dreams and goals.

'Kill Shot' is the ending theme song for the TV anime 'Kill Blue' on TV Tokyo Japan. It is a rock track characterized by aggressive drum sounds, offering enough to feel a different appeal.
