We discuss the ribbon-move for 2-knots, which is a local move. Let $K$ and $K'$ be 2-knots. Then we have: Suppose that $K$ and $K'$ are ribbon-move equivalent. (1) Let ${\mathrm {Tor}} H_1(\widetilde X_K; {\Z})$ (resp. ${\mathrm {Tor}} H_1(\widetilde X_{K'}; {\Z})$) be the $\Z$-torsion submodule of the Alexander module $H_1(\widetilde X_K; {\Z})$ (resp. $H_1(\widetilde X_{K'}; {\Z})$). Then ${\mathrm {Tor}} H_1(\widetilde X_K; {\Z})$ is isomorphic to ${\mathrm {Tor}} H_1(\widetilde X_{K'}; {\Z})$ not only as $\Z$-modules but also as ${\Z}[t,t^{-1}]$-modules. (2) The Farber-Levine pairing for $K$ is equivalent to that for $K'$. (3) The set of the values of the $\Q/\Z$-valued $\tilde\eta$ invariants for $K$ is equivalent to that for $K'$.
