リーベレイク digitally released 「熱の行方」 on April 22, 2026, as the first of two releases in consecutive months.
The song depicts the pain of confronting a “dream” and the impulse—or “heat”—that cannot be let go of despite it. The simple words 「熱のせいだ」 pinpoint why a person keeps moving forward even while being tossed around by uncertain factors such as talent, circumstances, and luck. Fragments of everyday life, including 「よく晴れた昼下がり」, 「眠らない街」, and 「9月の空模様」, are scattered through its phrases, carefully gathering the impatience and loneliness that linger within them. The refrain 「もう少し もうあと少し」 leaves listeners with a strong impression of accumulating small steps forward.
The sound moves vividly between stillness and motion, transforming the shifting gradations of emotion directly into its sonic landscape. It is an unpretentious song that stands beside everyone chasing a dream.

ARTIST
リーベレイク
Formed in December 2020 after bassist こーへー reached out to vocalist/guitarist azuma through social media. Their music is distinguished by songwriter azuma's gentle yet grounded voice, in which “kindness” and “strength” coexist, catchy melodies that invite humming, and down-to-earth lyrics that quietly resonate with the heart. They incorporate a variety of musical styles without being bound by genre, giving them a broad expressive range. Mainly active in Tokyo, all three members come from different prefectures: azuma (vocals/guitar) from Hiroshima, こーへー (bass) from Yamanashi, and みぎわ (drums/backing vocals) from Chiba.
