Ricken's

Artist

A male twin-vocal, twin-guitar duo of vocalists-and-guitarists Takumi Ishida and Osamu Sasaki. The band name comes from the Rickenbacker guitars the members favored, and they built their activity around melodic, refreshing guitar pop. For 'BE FREE', the ending theme of the TV anime 'Eyeshield 21' based on the popular manga written by Riichiro Inagaki and drawn by Yusuke Murata, they sing a liberating song written and composed by Osamu Sasaki with soaring twin vocals. Overlapping with the main characters who try to spread their wings freely through the sport of American football, the song became one of their signature tracks and Ricken's biggest hit.
