Acclaimed Japanese rock band RADWIMPS are thrilled to finally be headed back to play in North America this Spring and wrapping up the tour in New York City at the Palladium Times Square on April 29th.

Radwimps have also recently teamed up with highly acclaimed film music composer Kazuma Jinnouchi to create the perfect soundtrack and score for award-winning auteur director Makoto Shinkai’s latest film “Suzume” which hits theaters in North America on April 14th, distributed by Crunchyroll. The physical release of the soundtrack will coincide with the movie launch stateside and Radwimps US tour.

“Suzume” is the story about a young girl traveling through various ruins across Japan while closing doors causing disaster. The physical release of the soundtrack will coincide with the movie launch stateside and Radwimps US tour. “Suzume” opened in Japan on Nov. 11, 2022. It was #1 for 3 consecutive weeks and saw 9.39 million tickets sold with a gross of over 12.48 billion Yen at the box office in just over 2 months! It was also recently announced that “Suzume” has been included in the competition line-up for this year’s 73rd Berlin International Film Festival held from Feb. 16 through 26, 2023.

Formed in 2001, Japanese 4-piece band Radwimps made their major label debut in 2005. Soon after, they garnered a broad fan base, with the younger generation at the core. The band has released nine studio albums thus far. The band’s creation of music for Shinkai’s previous record-breaking animated feature films “Your Name.” and “Weathering with You” led to recognitions at the Japanese Academy Award for Best Original Score. Their musical activities go far beyond Japan, including touring extensively around the world.

In Nov. 2021, the band released their latest studio album “FOREVER DAZE” and went on the road for a nationwide Japanese tour to support the album. “FOREVER DAZE” was written and recorded throughout the pandemic and speaks to the musical challenges the guys faced, their hopes moving forward and features a diverse group of collaborators and experimental elements. The album welcomed guest artists including the famous actor/singer Masaki Suda, as well as two of the most up-and-coming artists, Awich and iri.
