Reji Hida [緋田 怜士], often stylized as Rage, is one of the primary vocalists of ARP. They are also a deuteragonist of the ARP Backstage Pass (anime) by Akari Uchida.

In addition to ARP, they are a member of the duo units SUPER RARE, DOUBLE TREBLE, and REBEL CROSS. They are also the previous lead vocalist of an indie rock group called CROSS BONE.

## Background

At age 14, Rage started producing and performing music with REBEL CROSS unitmate, Koumoto Daiya, under the name CROSS BONE. CROSS BONE, as well as Rage themself, then went on to win multiple music competitions- earning RAGE the title of 'Bountyhunter'.1 CROSS BONE's popularity allowed the two to get scouted by ISM under the condition that they both join ARP, as well as take daytime classes.2 CROSS BONE is largely considered REBEL CROSS's predecessor.

As a student at ISM, Rage has straight A's despite consistently napping ["meditating"] in class. It is heavily implied that he does not study. Due to Rage's bartering of their living conditions, it's assumed that both Rage and Daiya do not pay for housing or cafeteria food as long as they are enrolled at the ISM.2 The two members live in a loft-apartment style dorm room.

As a member of ARP, Rage primarily performs under the unit REBEL CROSS. They also compose music for the group, and are credited as the writer for both Unmeiron and Start of the Start. Similarly to Shinji, Rage is not a strong dancer. They hate to lose, and often spend their nights practicing in ISM's dance studios. Their penlight colour is Red, their character colour is Red, and they refer to their fans as Submembers.

This could also refer to red beans mixed into white sticky rice and molded.]
