==History==
=== Pre-debut ===
*RI_JECT held no auditions prior to the creation of the group, and only started as Kei's circle of friends as well as mutuals and those who had participated in Kei's earlier 'KPH' group projects.
=== Debut ===
*Through the successful release of RI_JECT's debut cover song for Connecting -World Edition-, the group was able to unite as one in 'connecting' their thoughts and emotions and expressing their passions for music and singing; which enabled them to attract many supportive listeners and avid followers.
=== Auditions ===
*RI_JECT held auditions early December 2016. Due to the large amount of responses, it was announced that the auditions would be closed early. There were 180+ auditions and only a small amount of people were accepted.
=== Present (Updated 2019) ===
*The group is currently active and are releasing cover songs from time to time as well as participating in chorus battles with other individuals from the Smutaite community, albeit entering under different group names instead of RI_JECT. Visit their Smule account RI_JECT to listen to their songs.
*Many members are also actively participating with Youtaites in chorus battles on Youtube.
=== Future ===
* The flames of RI_JECT will never fade. They will never expire. They will never disband. Whilst various neighbouring groups are being seen to crumble to dust due to either inactivity or eventual group incohesion, the strong international bonds forged within RI_JECT have stood; are withstanding; and will continue to stand the test of time. Together, they will continue rising above themselves each and every day into the future with high hopes of reuniting in more collaborations. From time to time, members come and go but all eventually return (as many have) to the home and family that is RI_JECT.
* As the saying goes, once a member of RI_JECT; always a member of RI_JECT.
