RADWIMPS



Hello everyone! Have you heard of a band called RADWIMPS? They are one of my favorite Japanese rock bands. I often listened to their songs in the old days. For today's topic, I will introduce this band.

RADWIMPS has four members. The lead vocal and guitarist is Youjiro Noda. He often wears a hat in their live concerts or on TV. He lived in the United States from the age of six years old for four years, so he is proficient in English. The lead guitarist is Akira Kuwahara. He graduated from hardrock guitarist training school. The bassist is Yu-suke Takeda, and the drummer is Satoshi Yamaguchi.




Next, I'll introduce RADWIMPS history. They formed the band in 2001 in Kanagawa.The band's name is from two words of English. It is rad and wimps. In other words, it's "very weakling." I think their songs are unique. Their songs are written by Youjiro Noda. There are various songs in their music. His words reveals his personality very clearly. Sometimes, he uses cruel words, but there are also many love songs. When I was young, my brother introduced RADWIMPS to me, so I started to like their songs. This time I'll introduce the song called "Oshakashama" This song is on the fifth album named "Theorem of Artcolony" Let's check it!
