Singaporean fans of the JRock band RADWIMPS are about to have a dream fulfilled! The band recently announced the venues for their RADWIMPS LIVE TOUR 2014, which will kick off in February 2014. Most of the tour’s 44 shows will be in Japan, but several overseas venues were also announced: South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore! The Singapore stop of RADWIMP’s tour is expected to take place on 7th June 2014; no further details have been announced as of yet.
RADWIMPS debuted in 2003 and currently comprises four members: Yojiro Noda (vocals), Akira Kuwahara (guitar), Yusuke Takeda (bass) and Satoshi Yamaguchi (drums). The band gained popularity with their eclectic sound, which is influenced by a number of styles including punk and jazz, as well as with poignant lyrics that resonate especially strongly with the younger generation. They garnered national attention with their fourth album, “Radwimps 4: Okazu no Gohan”, which peaked at number 6 on Japan’s Oricon charts. They have since gone on to feature consistently in the top 10 of the Oricon charts with their following releases. Two of their singles, “Order Made” (2008) and “Dada” (2011) clinched the number one spot. The overseas shows for RADWIMPS LIVE TOUR 2014 will be the band’s first live performances outside of Japan.
RADWIMPS have also recently announed that they will be releasing their seventh album on 11th December 2013. The title of the album has yet to be announced. However, it is already up for pre-order on CDJapan:
