The Sixth Lie (stylized in all caps) is a Japanese electronic band formed in May 2015 in Tokyo, Japan. Their music is known for its hybrid style inspired by the latest western music, and their overall science fiction-inspired theme connected to near future and outer space.[1]

They held their first world tour from June 2017, which gathered 2,500 visitors and resulted in sold out CD's at venues.

Members

Likes both Japanese and western EDM and rock, and is familiar with music of many different genres. He is known for clear vocals with a vocal range of 3 octaves. He was responsible for composing the band's initial songs. He was focused in football during elementary school and junior high school, and was an athlete aiming for Hakone Ekiden with long-distance running. At times he plays the keyboard during their shows.

When he joined the band, Reiji and Ray invited him to a café, but he wanted them to listen to his singing, so he told them to meet him in a karaoke room. He says he doesn't remember this incident himself.[2]

He is in charge of composing and arranging all of their songs, with a hybrid sound that has been inspired by the latest western music as his weapon. One of the original members of the band from back when they were formed. He is known for his clean guitars with a lot of arpeggio, but also plays heavy riffs depending on songs. During junior high school he played at Junior Olympics as the representative of Gunma Prefecture in volleyball. During high school he played at Inter-High School Championships as the representative of Gunma Prefecture. He also aimed for All-Japan Volleyball High School Tournament, but unfortunately lost in the finals. He used to be Japan's number one for smartphone game "Avabel Online". He won the Crash Royale section during “eSports Star League Battle Championship #1”, an eSports tournament for celebrities held on January 8, 2018.[3]

He is in charge of the lyrics for all songs and the direction and editing of all of their music videos and live videos. He also makes videos for other artists. The CD covers are also designed by Ray. He is currently second year student at a master's course in University of Tokyo, and he is studying drones and artificial intelligence. Together with Reiji, he is one of the original members of the band. He likes progressive rock from the 70's, and you can see his interest in this genre from his drum phrases with a lot of action. During some songs he also plays synth drum pads, and with that makes a flower bloom to their electronic band sound.

Ryusei joined the group in 2018. He went to Paris for the first time when the sixth lie played to the Japan expo in 2019.

Etymology

The name of the band is a reference to the French composer Claude Debussy, who said: "Art is the most beautiful of all lies." The band's name is an indication of band's aim, "to create a lie so beautiful that it cannot be full experienced by the five senses".
