MADKID is a five-member Japanese hip-hop and dnace group comprised of two rappers and three singers. The group made their major debut back in January this year. It ha been announced that their third major single RISE will be released on February 6, 2019.
The title track will be used as the opening theme song for the upcoming anime series The Rising of the Shield Hero which is set to begin airing in January. The song is described as having piercing lyrics and a hard, rock melody that links together with the feelings of the anime’s protagonist who has lost everything and desperately fights in an unfair world.
The Type-A version of the single comes with a DVD featuring a music video and its making-of as well the full footage of the group’s performance at Shinjuku ReNY on April 30, 2018. MADKID will support the single with a string of release events that will begin on December 1 in Fukuoka.
