Viva la Revolution is the third full-length album by Dragon Ash, released in 1999. It is the first full-length album after Dragon Ash member DJ BOTS formally joined, creating the new hip hop/rock amalgamation sound for which they have since become known. It has been described as "the album where Kenji's polyphagia has been expressed best."

The song "Communication" is a new version of "I Love Hip Hop" with a different backing track and vocals to avoid copyright infringement of "I Love Rock 'n' Roll."
