Japan's premier alternative rock band RADWIMPS
Announce their highly anticipated new album “ANTI ANTI GENERATION” due 12th December
+ visual for "Sokkenai"
“Meet Yojiro Noda – Tokyo’s Answer to Thom Yorke” – NME
Having been ensconced in the studio recording material for their new album “ANTI ANTI GENERATION” (pronounced “an-T, an-tie, Generation”) due later this year, Japan's foremost alternative-rock outfit RADWIMPS (Yusuke Takeda / bass, Yojiro Noda / vocals and guitar, Akira Kuwahara / guitar) will pre-empt its release with a stunning visual for 'Sokkena', once again portraying the band's knack for an infectious melody and emotive delivery.
The band detail the video: "'Sokkeeina' is essentially a ballad and we wanted the perfect visual to accompany the track. The video takes place around dawn capturing emotions of a boy and a girl in an ambiguous relationship. Two young rising actors, Nana Komatsu and Fuju Kamio play the role of the young couple-to-be with great sensitivity and it is the beginning of a romantic story".
.For the first time in band’s history, 3 tracks feature special guest collaborators; Taka (singer of ONE OK ROCK), Aimyon (up-and-coming female singer songwriter), Miyachi (NY based rapper) and Tabu Zombie (from SOIL&“PIMP”SESSIONS). The album also includes their recent hit singles “Saihate Aini,” “Mountain Top,” and “Catharsist” as well as “Banzai Sensho” and “Seikai,” written and performed for NHK “18FES” in Oct. 2018
Limited edition of “ANTI ANTI GENERATION” physical package comes with a bonus DVD featuring band’s interview and documentary capturing them since the release of “Your Name.” OST and “Human Bloom” album. This is a must see for the fans. The band also revealed new publicity photo and an iconic album cover with design of smashed empty can. The artwork was directed by Tetsuya Nagato, who also directed the artwork for their last album “Human Bloom.”

Notes:
Formed in 2001 and made the major debut from EMI in Nov. 2005, RADWIMPS have become known internationally for their wide sound palette, charismatic live show and wild rock. In 2015, their 10th anniversary year, the band headed out on a much waited for international run smashing their first EU tour and their 2nd Asian tour. They completed the year with a headlining show at Makuhari Messe in Japan playing to a crowd of over 30,000. These shows led to their first documentary film, which captured the band throughout these tours and was shown in theaters across Japan in early 2016. Also in 2016, the band scored an anime film “Your Name.” which became a record breaking blockbuster hit around the world pushing the band to the next level.
Hot off the hit of OST, RADWIMPS released their highly anticipated new album, Human Bloom which featured RADWIMPS’ signature genre bending style, mixing elements of modern rock with the feel of jazz and hip hop, creating an album in a genre all their own. The band concluded their Asia Tour with huge success in the fall, 2017, including their first overseas arena show at Mercedes Benz Arena in Shanghai. With further demand from the fans who witnessed their amazing shows, the band re-visited Asia on another extensive tour in summer, 2018.
