RADWIMPS
Radwimps (ラッドウインプス, Raddo'uinpusu; stylized as RADWIMPS) is a Japanese rock band who debuted independently in 2003 and signed with Toshiba EMI's Virgin Records label in 2005. The band's name, Radwimps, was formed from two English slang terms, "rad" and "wimp". According to the band, the coined word had several meanings, including "excellent weakling" and "superlative coward".
Radwimps achieved commercial success in 2006 with their album Radwimps 4: Okazu no Gohan and are best known for their later singles "Order Made" (2008) and "Dada" (2011), both of which hit number one on the Oricon Singles Chart. They have also gained recognition for providing the soundtracks to the anime films Your Name (2016), Weathering with You (2019), and Suzume (2022), all three by Makoto Shinkai.
