Two centuries of games revealed alongside Rise Insomnia

Before unveiling their new song "Insomnia," Rise released a "Counting Two" game on their official website. As the content connects to the song, which is themed around sleepless nights, it was an idea that filled the waiting time for the release with fun. The game features pixel graphics, and it is reported that about 70,000 people participated during the first hour of its release.

"Insomnia" is a prologue single released on October 26. It is said to capture memories and longing that become clearer as the night deepens, based on acoustic guitar melodies. I also noticed that it is the first acoustic pop song presented by RISE. I am glad to hear the description that it is a song where you can focus on the voices of the six members.

The producing team The Stereotypes and August Rigo participated in the song's production, and the lyrics were written by lyricist Kim Eana. It is said that August Rigo also participated in Rise's "Nine Days." It is impressive how the single theme of sleepless nights was explored in various ways, ranging from games to music.

This single also serves as a prologue leading to the second full-length album, which is scheduled for release in the spring of 2027. As it shows a different vibe from "Do Your Dance" from the second mini-album released earlier in June, I look forward to seeing what kind of story will unfold in the upcoming album.
