Biography
The group was formed in 1994 by Ryo Z and Ilmari, who were later joined by Pes (he attended the same school as Ilmari). The RIP in Rip Slyme stands for their initials. Slyme was a popular children's toy at that time. Their name is also a pun on the phrase "lips' rhyme". Winning an amateur rapping contest "Young MCs In Town", they started their musical career with their first album Lips Rhyme in 1995. Later they added DJ Fumiya (who had studied under East End X Yuri's DJ Yoggy) and Su (previously a backup dancer for East End X Yuri). In 1998 they released their second album, "Talkin' Cheap" and also took part in Dragon Ash's Total Communication event.
They became ever more successful and signed to Warner Music Group in 2000. By then they had release several indie singles include their EP "Underline No. 5" and "Mata Au Hi Made" which had received the help of Fantastic Plastic Machine (Tomoyuki Tanaka). "Mata Au Hi Made" was released on Warner Music Group's Indies label. Their first major single was "Stepper's Delight" released 22nd March 2001. The title was a play on The Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight".
In general, Fumiya composes most of the music, while Ryo-Z, Pes, Ilmari, and Su write their own lyrics. However, before Fumiya became a member, Pes composed most of the songs. Each member except for Ryo-Z has tried their hand at composing music for Rip Slyme, and Pes occasionally plays guitar on some tracks (Such as Home and More & More, for example). Allegedly, Pes was in a rock band before being introduced to hip hop music by Ilmari and Ryo-Z.
In 2002 they received MTV Video Music Awards Japan for "Best Newcomer" and "Best Hip-hop Group".
The same year they released a big-budget album "Tokyo Classic", which became Japan's first million-selling hip-hop album, with a sound compared to James Brown's soul and funk. Two singles from the album, "Funkastic" and "Rakuen Baby" collected MTV awards in 2003. "Super Shooter", featured as a B-side to their single "Galaxy" is the theme song for the anime Gantz.
To date they have released 6 indies singles with 11 major singles. They as well have released 2 indie albums, 5 major albums, 1 live album, 1 indies collection album, and 1 best of album.
From late 2005 (after the release of Good Job in August) through 2006, DJ Fumiya has been on extended break, citing illness. For performances, a friend of the band by the name of DJ Soma has been standing in. Fumiya's break has lead to several interesting side projects and collaborations from other members. Fumiya is supposed to have returned to activity for concerts in late summer 2006. This information was provided by: JpopAsia | Edit or update this information

So what you want (what you want) ひとつだけ
So what you need (what you need) yeah yeah
いつも通りのearly morning 夢からさめれば嘘のように
クラクション雑音だらけの騒々しいドラマみたくないのに
こんな夜はそうさ何処か遠く離れればいい
目を閉じればほら見えるだろう そう好きにすればいい (好きにすればいい)
建ち並ぶビルはチグハグ 時はチクタク たまにReal Love
寂しくなくてすむ 君が僕を包む oh yes (oh yes)
だってそうだろう? それは何処にもないもの
この世界に (世界に) 一つだけ (一つだけ) 君は世界に (世界に) 一人だけ
それぞれひとつの life それぞれが選んだ style

陸に上がるマーメイドは孤独に暮らす
海の深くから別れ告げ START
後ろ指にささやかな尾ひれのプレゼント
勢いは気持ちの中でクレシェンド
お休み もういいからおねむり
朝まで悩んでた意味は 君が思うより早くムダになる
時代に抱かれて眠くなる
闘争心と放心が両A面 細かく刻んでゆく経験
たった一つの為に 想いとは逆に向うはめに
自分の為に走れるのなら そのためだけに守れたなら
君の世界は (世界は) 一つだけ (一つだけ) 君は世界に (世界に) 一人だけ
それぞれひとつの life それぞれが選んだ style
それぞれひとつの life ひとつの愛を yeah yeah

とある日の晴れた午後 あのひもとく せめてるの? 過ぎ去る雲がずっと
呼び覚ましてまた動いてく 人の群れは避け一人惑星へ
むし返した赤い意思と 過ぎ去ってく日々の意味を
いく通りあるこれの正解も心なしと今は明快と
変わった奴と日照りのRAP SONG しがらみなどふりほどいて待とう
ガラスの向こう気づけばそう 忘れ去ろう 窓を開け放とう
明日からもきれいなペーパー くしゃくしゃにしてまたペイバック
この世界に (世界に) 一つだけ (一つだけ) 君は世界に (世界に) 一人だけ

So what you want (what you want), you're unique
So what you need (what you need), you've picked your style
So what you want (what you want) you're unique
So what you need (what you need), yeah yeah
When the usual early morning dreams wear off like lies
I don't want to see a boisterous drama, full of the noise of car horns
On a night like this, if only I could leave somewhere far away, that's right
When I close my eyes, hey, I can see it; if only I could do as I like (if only I could do as I like)
When the buildings, lined up and standing in a row, are mismatched, tick-tock, sometimes it's real love
You who live without sadness, envelops me, oh yes (oh yes)
Isn't that right? That's something that isn't anywhere
In this world (in the world), you're unique (you're unique), in the world (in the world), you're the only one like you
We each have our own life, we've each picked our own style
We each have our own life, and our own love, yeah yeah
We each have our own life, we've each picked our own style
We each have our own life, and our own love, yeah yeah
A mermaid upon the shore lives a lonely life
Saying goodbye from deep in the sea, start
A present of being dissed, and some modest exaggeration
That's a long enough break, so let's go to bed
The meaning that you were worried about 'till morning will be useless sooner than you thought
Held by the era, I fall asleep
Fighting spirit and peace of mind are both A-sides, a finely carved experience
In order to be unique, feelings are to end up facing the opposite direction
If I run for my own sake, if I abided for that reason
Your world is (your world) the only one of it's kind (only one of it's kind), in the world (in the world), you're the only one like you
We each have our own life, we've each picked our own style
We each have our own life, and our own love, yeah yeah
We each have our own life, we've each picked our own style
We each have our own life, and our own love, yeah yeah
Instead of just you, instead of the two of us, you should think bigger
While laughing, while crying
At some point we can unify
Instead of just you, instead of the two of us, you should think bigger
While laughing, while crying
One love, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
On days with clear afternoons, I explain this one those days too, can you blame me? The clouds are always passing
Waking up, again I move, avoiding a crowd of people, I go into the world alone
My re-heated and red intentions pass along with the meaning of these days
There are a number of ways, the correct interpretation of this, the present is clear when you don't have a heart
The constrains of a rap song about a guy who's changed, and the dry weather, shaking and untangling them, wait for it
If you look beyond the glass, leave it behind just like that; Open the window and set yourself free
Crumbling up beautiful pieces of paper, from tomorrow on, it's payback
In this world (in the world), you're unique (you're unique), in the world (in the world), you're the only one like you
We each have our own life, we've each picked our own style
We each have our own life, and our own love, yeah yeah
We each have our own life, we've each picked our own style
We each have our own life, and our own love, yeah yeah
We each have our own life, we've each picked our own style
We each have our own life, and our own love, yeah yeah
We each have our own life, we've each picked our own style
We each have our own life, and our own love, yeah yeah
