History

2014–2016: Pre-debut

edit

On April 11, 2014, Exile Hiro announced on the TV show Sukkiri!! a new group being formed for Exile Tribe.

On September 12, 2014, the final sixteen members of The Rampage were recruited from participants of "Exile Performer Battle Audition", a competition to be part of EXILE, "Vocal Battle Audition 4", a competition for young people who dream of being vocalists, and "Global Japan Challenge", a program for young people who dream of performing internationally and form a dance and vocal group. The name of the group, "The Rampage (run about wildly)" shows that the group would always dance wildly and passionately on stage. Before debuting, they went on their Musha Shugyo, touring the country for 2 years as part of their training. They performed for free in various places in Japan. Through these performances, they bonded as a group, improved as performers and gained fans. As part of their Musha Shugyo, the group also participated in Exile Tribe's "Exile Tribe Perfect Year Live Tour Tower of Wish 2014 ~The Revolution~" dome tours. In their final year of Musha Shugyo, the group split up into 3 separate teams to promote and improve themselves more individually.[2]

Prior to their debut, the members of the group (specifically the performers) also participated in tours from other LDH artists as support members, such as Exile The Second's tour Exile the Second Live Tour 2016–2017 "Wild Wild Warriors".

On September 27, 2016, it was revealed the group would make their major debut with their first single in early 2017.

2017: Debut with "Lightning" and first tour

edit

The Rampage debuted on January 25, 2017, with their first single "Lightning" peaking at #2 on the Oricon Weekly Charts and being certified 'Gold' by the RIAJ for selling 100,000 physical copies. The group received their first major award in the MTV Video Music Awards Japan for their "Lightning" music video.

In the following months of April and July The Rampage released their second and third single "Frontiers" and 'Dirty Disco' which peaked at #3 and #5 respectively.

In early November, The Rampage released their fourth single '100degrees'. The single reached #6 in the Oricon Weekly Charts and earned the group the 'New Wave Artist Award' at the Asia Artist Awards where they performed for the first time overseas. Later in December The Rampage embarked on their first tour ever The Rampage Live Tour 2017-2018 "Go on the Rampage" starting in December and ending in March 2018.

Due to the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, several concerts of The Rampage's third tour had to be cancelled or postponed. As a reparation, the group held a live event with no audience that was streamed on the Japanese video service niconico (Nico Nico Douga) on March 24, 2020. A total of over 280 thousand viewers watched the broadcast which lasted about 1 hour and 45 minutes.[23] Furthermore, the group held a series of livestreamed concerts on the Japanese streaming platform AbemaTV from July to December.

edit

On January 25, the group released their fourth studio album titled Ray of Light, it included all their songs from 2021 plus the album's promotional track Ray Of Light with 13 songs in total.[37]

The groups performance of their 2023s single "Soldier Love" sparked controversy for wearing nazi-like uniforms and showing nazi-like gestures on television. The song itself was criticized for its lyrics which play on the imperialistic history of the country.[38] As a result, the group had to postpone the release of two best-of albums, 16Soul and 16Pray, which were originally scheduled for release on January 25, 2024. An apology was published on December 25, 2023.[39]
