RADWIMPS most recently released the music video for ‘Kanata Haluka’, the theme song they composed for filmmaker Makoto Shinkai’s latest film, Suzume no Tojimari, in November last year. The song was one of many from a soundtrack entirely written by RADWIMPS and composer Kazuma Jinnouchi, whose previous credits include 2019’s Jumanji: The Next Level and 2020’s Ghost In The Shell SAC_2045.

RADWIMPS were formed in 2001 in Kanagawa, Japan by Yojiro Noda and bassist Yusuke Takeda, alongside drummer Satoshi Yamaguchi and guitarist Akira Kuwahara, and debuted with their self-titled full-length album two years later. The group have released eight more studio albums, the latest of which was titled ‘FOREVER DAZE’ and was released in November 2021.
