RADWIMPS Profile
Yojiro Noda (vo/gt/pf), Akira Kuwahara (Gt), Yusuke Takeda (ba)(Satoshi Yamaguchi (Dr) is currently on hiatus)
Formed in 2001, major debut in 2005.
With music that defies existing genre classifications and lyrics that philosophically and emotionally depict everything from romance to views on life and death, they have garnered significant support from a wide range of listeners, especially those in their adolescence.
Their musicality extends beyond band sounds, as they handled all the music for the animated films "Your Name." and "Weathering With You." They also demonstrated diverse compositional skills in their film scores, receiving high praise (winning the Best Music Award at the 40th Japan Academy Film Prize and the 43rd Japan Academy Film Prize for these respective works).
On November 23, 2021, they released "FOREVER DAZE," their first full album in approximately three years. From December of the same year to January 2022, they held the nationwide tour "FOREVER IN THE DAZE TOUR 2021-2022" (12 performances at 6 locations nationwide).
In 2022, they released an original soundtrack album in March, featuring 29 tracks and the theme song "Uruubito" written for the film "The Last 10 Years." In July, they digitally released the new song "Ningen Gokko," written as the theme song for the TBS Friday drama "Ishiko and Haneo - Are you suing for that? -" On November 11, they released the soundtrack for director Makoto Shinkai's latest film "Suzume," for which they handled the theme song and film score (winning the Best Music Award at the 46th Japan Academy Film Prize for this work).
From April 2023, they will embark on their first overseas tour in approximately five years, "RADWIMPS North American Tour 2023," followed by "RADWIMPS European Tour 2023" in May and "RADWIMPS Asian Tour 2023" in July. In June, they will hold "BACK TO THE LIVE HOUSE TOUR 2023," their first live house tour in Japan in approximately eight years.
