D'ESPAIRSRAY will release their new single "RAPTURE "on May 13.

"RAPTURE" marks the band’s first single in approximately 16 years, following "LOVE IS DEAD," released in April 2010. In addition to the title track, the single will include four minus-one versions, each omitting one of the instrument parts—vocals, guitar, bass, or drums.

To celebrate the release, a series of in-store events will be held in May. The events are scheduled to take place on May 15 in the Kanto area, May 17 in Tokyo, May 30 in Osaka, and May 31 in Aichi. Further details will be announced at a later date. The May 17 event will be held without drummer TSUKASA due to scheduling conflicts.
