RADWIMPS Frontman Yojiro Noda Welcomes Fans & Guest Acts to Special ‘Wonder Boys Akumu Club’ Solo Concert

RADWIMPS frontman Yojiro Noda took the stage at Tokyo Garden Theater for his first concert as a solo artist under his real name on Sept. 27.

The final guest, iri, performed a short-but-sweet set consisting of “friends,” the four-to-the-floor number ideal for large venues, the similarly danceable “Corner,” and “Wonderland,” which got the crowd raising their hands in unison. “Please give a big round of applause to the three guest artists, kZm, Awich and iri,” said the singer-songwriter, and elicited huge cheers from the crowd by asking, “I want to make this a party where we can all savor this brand spanking new album together. Hip-hop-like elements were incorporated in the staging as well, with the screen behind the singer highlighting a section of the lyrics of the track by visually sampling the cover art for the album RADWIMPS 4 that has the song with the same word (”Iindesuka?”) as the title.
