Formed in 2001, Japanese 4-piece band Radwimps made their major label debut in 2005 (they were Indie musicians prior). Soon after, they garnered a broad fan base, with the younger generation at the core. The band's creation of music for Shinkai Makoto's 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.
