A HELPFULL GUIDE TO THE RAMPAGE FROM EXILE TRIBE BY CHU-CHU

Hi Guys! I see that there are many new Rampage fans - Ravers - among us and I would like to introduce the members to you. Other than formal group information, some of it will be my own opinions. You can easily find other official informations about the group on the web. Rather, I want to share with you how I see each member, what impression they made on me, and what I liked or found interesting about them. So please keep in mind that these are my opinions. And of course, I'm not a very old fan either. There may be things I don't know or misunderstand. You can share with me what you want to add or correct 💜

-I am also sharing with you some blogs that I know who is posting about Exile Tribe/The Rampage. You can check them out too 💜I will continue to introduce the members when I have time :') I hope you like it :D 💜

The Rampage

A Japanese dance & vocal boy group formed and managed by LDH JAPAN.

16 members: 3 vocalists and 13 performers. 

They made their major debut on January 25, 2017 with the single “Lightning”.

Fandom name: Ravers ( RAmpage loVERS)

Formation: September 12, 2014

Debut: January 25, 2017

Genres: J-pop, hip hop, dance pop

Leaders: Likiya and Zin

16 Members: Likiya, Zin, Riku, Kenta, Rui, Yamasho, Kazuma, Hokuto, Iwasho, Shohei, Itsuki,Kaisei, Makoto, Ryu, Takahide and Takuma

And yes they have a hip-hop sub-unit : Ma55ive the Rampage (Likiya, Kenta,Yamasho, Shohei, Takahide)

I also didn’t know this part;

At the beginning it was unclear how many and which candidates would be chosen for the group's final line-up, the members later described the time as a desperate, harsh and stressful "survival situation". According to Kawamura Kazuma, the three vocalists were especially tense and taking the situation very seriously, thinking that one of them was going to be cut, due to the fact that LDH only had a two-vocalist system for all of their boy groups at that point.

But luckily they were all chosen :’)

However, while they were training for their debut in the public eye, the members later revealed that the group had been struggling behind the scenes and actually went on a hiatus the year after they were formed until their debut. Several members mentioned that they considered quitting during that time as it was mentally and physically difficult.Also Fujiwara Itsuki revealed that the members had also been working as staffs of the company behind the scenes in that time period, for example as tour staff for senior groups, or in Fujiwara's case, as staff of EXPG schools.

June 16 had been chosen as "RAVERS DAY". This specific date was selected because it is the only month out of the year that does not have a member's birthday, and because the number "16" is important to the group :D

During the first five years, all members of the group lived together in a dormitory.There were four rooms, and four members lived in each room, sharing bunk beds. Each room also had a room manager.

-I don't plan to mention TV series, movies, awards, songs, albums or tours. I get most of the information from Exile Tribe Wiki, you can read more there :’)

Childhood

“The best part about childhood love is finding someone who can become your bestfriend for life”

A/N: hi! This is Eribin. I am not a real writer, doing this as my past time. English is not my first language so bear with my English. There’s a lot of grammatical and typographical errors. This is just a fiction from my delusions 😆

CAST: ZIN SAKAMOTO Y/N

3RD PERSON'S POV

"Ziiiiiin!!!" you shouted and waved your hands. You're visiting your friend Zin in your hometown. It was just a 2 hours train ride. Zin was your childhood friend, and he's still in touch with you. He had been left behind in his hometown while you were studying in the city.

He gave you a hug and said, "How are you, Y/N?" You noticed his masculine scent and flushed slightly.

"I'm fine. As usual, you?" you asked him while examining his face.

"Likewise," he said, taking your bags and guiding you to his vehicle. He's growing more hefty. You acknowledge that you're crushing on him, but you're afraid of ruining your friendship if he know. so you stay quiet about your feelings.

He's so dreamy, adorable, mature, responsible, diligent, and patient. He's also incredibly articulate, manly, and very boyfriend material-- Ah no! husband material, rather. He has this fatherly vibe because he likes kids. He's so fond of them. You can imagine him as the father of your future children.

"You're getting blooming, Y/N. What's the secret?" he asked as he was driving his car to their village. After spending two weeks at their home, you will return to the city to finish your studies. Since your parents are acquainted with Zin's family, they feel comfortable and confident that you are in capable care.

"Nothing. skincare?" You laughed at it, but in the back of your mind, you answered because of him.

"Inspiration? A partner, perhaps?" You shook your head, saying there was no time for that and beside, you were also loyal to Zin.

"How about you? Do you currently have a girlfriend?" You boldly asked him.

Please say none at all! Please say none at all! You repeatedly say this in the back of your head.

He answered, "I'm still waiting for someone, Y/N," and grinned broadly, giving the impression that he was genuinely thrilled simply thinking about her. You could imagine how fortunate she must be.

“She’s so lucky to have you, Zin,” you said, and you looked away. Suddenly, you felt depressed over Zin's comment.

“Why do you say so? "Do you think she’s lucky to have me?” He’s smiling like an idiot. His eyes disappear when he smiles. Giving the impression that he is engaged in talking about his love.

You answered, turning away, "Yeah.. You're not that hard to love, Zin. You're responsible, cute, quite funny, hardworking, and patient. In short, you're very ideal, Zin." You are approaching their residence. You're looking forward to seeing his parents because you felt like family with them.

“Y/N, you’re so lucky,then? Haist! I'm shy when someone praises me," and you turned to face him in disbelief. Ohmy! He's really shy and overwhelmed by what you've said, you observed on his scarlet face.

“Eh?”

“Y/N, I am always waiting for you,” he said, stopping the car to face you.

He reached for your hands and said, "I am serious, Y/N. I have liked you since then, and eventually, I just woke up and realized that I already love you. If it's okay, we will go to your parents after a week to officially announce to them that I am going to court you." He continued, playing with your hands. When he tells you all of this, you're stunned.

You didn't mean to question, but you were just interested about his response "Wait, Zin— are you serious? How can you assure that I am allowing you to court me?” you asked. He just laughed and got the car started. But deep inside, you're so happy. All this time, he likes you?

“You’re very obvious, Y/N, that you like me too. I am very much aware of it. It’s just that you are numb enough to not see my feelings for you," he said as he was driving the car.

"Ziiiiin!!" and he grinned and said, "What?" You can't control your happiness at realizing that he had just admitted, as he usually makes you blush. OMG!

“Let’s get married,” you blurted out, but you don’t regret saying those words. You don't know what to say really.

“We will get there, Y/N. Let’s enjoy each other’s company and get to know each other deeply,” he said while smiling. You can’t control your happiness, so you hug him.

“I love you, Zin!” you said. You're so happy, finally you can say this words to him. All this time, you thought that you're the only one loving him. You love each other but

“I love you more, Y/N”

11:00 Well, I get that about myself, too, like the speed or the tone of my voice, I think oh yeah I definitely I get what they're saying, I can see it. I've been told by our fans that listening to the sound of my voice makes them feel sleepy. Zin-san, who's one of the leaders in our group, Zin-san tells me I'm like an "air purifier."  "It's not a bad thing," he said, "You're very gentle, so it makes others around you feel at ease, like an air purifier." I don't really get it, though. Yeah so lately my hobbies have been going on leisurely walks and taking pictures. My camera is the Ricoh GR IIIx, and I usually shoot pictures of the scenery or just ordinary things, like a cup or something. If it makes me go, "oh, that's interesting," I'll snap a picture. 12:00 I'll compose nice pictures of even the most ordinary things. Recently I've been into taking pictures of cars. Like, it's really cool when there's a bunch of cars in different colors lined up on the street and I'd think that would make such a good photo. If it's something that I think would make a cool picture, I'll take a snap of it. If I do take a cool picture, I'll post it on my official X account, so please check it out. And as for my walking hobby. During our longer breaks, I'll take a walk from morning until evening. Since I'd have more time, it's normal for me to take 5-hour long walks. The other day, I wondered how far I'd gone, so I checked my phone, and it said I'd walked 12 kilometers (7.5 miles) [staff gasp in disbelief]. Hehehe. Well, I mean it's healthy, isn't it? When I'm walking, I basically listen to music, buy some coffee on the way and then drink my coffee while I continue my walk. I'll even do some shopping or just enjoy the changing scenery while I walk. Doing that kind of ordinary thing is really relaxing for me. Usually, we're working on a ton of different things at any given time, but I'm not really good at being always on the go. Like, I have this worry about losing sight of myself when we're in the thick of it all, so being able to have these simple hobbies to return to keeps me grounded, and that's what gets me going outside and keep walking.  When I was on that 12 kilometer walk, I must have definitely built up some muscles, yeah? Hehehe. [staff laughs along with Hokuto] Everyone, definitely try walking 12 kilometers next time! I recommend it~ Hehehe~ 14:23 "What kind of show do you want your radio show to be?" Well, it's my first time hosting a show on my own, so honestly, I have no idea, haha. But once I get used to doing it, like if I feel like "oh I want to do more of this and that," I think it'll come to me in time. Really, though, from the very start, I wanted to make this show with everyone. Also, I wanted it to be more relaxing, hehe. [staff laugh in the background] I wanna get rid of this nervousness soon and be a more relaxed radio host for you guys. And now here's our next song from The Rampage, "100 Degrees." 15:06 - ["100 Degrees" by The Rampage plays.] - Translator's notes: *MVP - Most valuable player. Hokuto don't play around yall.

THE RAMPAGE from EXILE TRIBE in NO LIMIT

[dustypanb]

I've finished translating another video, and I must admit that adding the captions was a bit challenging. However, they turned out well. I also noticed that some sentences didn't make much sense, and I wasn't quite sure how to phrase them. Despite that, I found this little segment funny. Enjoy, everyone!!

[emeraldbabygirl]

I MADE A MEME. With the phone and not Snapchat unfortunately but behold! @atinystaypixie @halalhyungwon @jaejoongs-nipple-piercing @dmbjwhxre @wh0sthe5pecial0ne
