RADWIMPS Profile
Yojiro Noda (vo/gt/pf), Akira Kuwahara (Gt), Yusuke Takeda (ba)(Satoshi Yamaguchi (Dr) is currently on hiatus)
Formed in 2001, debuted in 2005.
Their music is not confined to existing genres, and their lyrics, which philosophically and emotionally depict everything from love to views on life and death, have gained widespread support, especially among adolescents.
Their musicality extends beyond band sounds, as they were in charge of all the music for the animated films "Your Name." and "Weathering with You." They earned very high acclaim for their diverse compositional skills in the film scores (winning the Best Music Award at the 40th Japan Academy Film Prize and the 43rd Japan Academy Film Prize for each work, respectively).
On November 23, 2021, they released "FOREVER DAZE," their first full album in about 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 in 6 locations nationwide).
In 2022, they released an original soundtrack album in March, which included 29 songs written for the film "The Last 10 Years" and the theme song "Uruubito." In July, they digitally released "Ningengen Gokko," a new song written as the theme song for the TBS Friday drama "Ishiko to Haneo: Sonna Koto de Uttaemasu?," and on November 11, they were in charge of the theme song and film score for director Makoto Shinkai's latest work, "Suzume no Tojimari," releasing the soundtrack on the same day (winning the Best Music Award at the 46th Japan Academy Film Prize for the same work).
From April 2023, they will embark on their first overseas tour in about five years, "RADWIMPS North American Tour 2023," followed by "RADWIMPS European Tour 2023" in May, and "RADWIMPS Asian Tour 2023" in July. In June, "BACK TO THE LIVE HOUSE TOUR 2023," their first live house tour in Japan in about eight years, has been announced.

＜RADWIMPS (Yojiro Noda's comment)＞
I recall that it was over a year and a half ago when the J.LEAGUE asked me to "create an anthem to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the J.LEAGUE" and "create a song that will continue to walk with the J.LEAGUE for many years to come." I was never really a soccer boy. However, the J.LEAGUE started when I was little, and influenced by my father, I went to watch many matches. During high school, I cheered with my friends at public viewing events in Yokohama for every match of the Japan-Korea World Cup, and I even went to watch the Tunisia match at Osaka Nagai Stadium. I still vividly remember shouting until my voice was completely gone the next day. I have experienced that unique stadium atmosphere and the moment of uniting and raising our voices with friends at various points in my life.
While honored by the offer, I also felt a great responsibility. I wanted to create a song that would resonate with the players and supporters with a similar spirit. And I wanted it to be a song that could accompany the history of the J.LEAGUE so far, and the story of the league that will continue for a long time to come.
I watched a match at the National Stadium again, and also, with a desperate plea, interviewed Maya Yoshida via email. The raw and honest words there had a great impact on me.
After about three months, when the framework of the song finally became visible, I wanted another catalyst for this song. "What would happen if ZORN's rap was in it?" I was already a fan of his lyrics and rap, and once I started fantasizing, I couldn't stop.
I am immensely grateful to him for deciding to take on this unique challenge with me. Thank you for breathing more life, determination, and roars into this song.
At the National Stadium on May 14th, we will perform this song with respect and celebration for the past 30 years of the J.LEAGUE, and with a great leap forward for the future. I am personally very much looking forward to performing at the National Stadium for the first time.
