■Yojiro Noda comment
I will release my first original album under the name[Yojiro Noda].
I’ve been playing in a band since I was 15 as a member of RADWIMPS, and somehow I’ve come to this point. During that time, he also worked under the name illion.
With the premise that the mother body called RADWIMPS will remain as a core within me forever, I wanted to play with sound without worrying about anyone’s voice or eyes, and swim in the ocean of sound using a musical approach that I can only do now. It was.
No matter what name I’m under, there’s no difference in exploring the musical challenges and words of the moment, but fortunately with RAD, I’ve been able to create more and more songs through intensive multiplication and collaboration with other works such as movies. I felt like, “If I were to go out into the sea all by myself, how would I swim?” I also thought that even if I made it and it failed, no one would be inconvenienced.)
So for the past two years, in my free time, I’ve become obsessed with Adako, sometimes softly and slowly, sometimes seriously.
The 13 songs were completed through occasional struggles and times when I felt like giving up. Before I knew it, the lyrics had become extremely personal novel-like. I realized that I had no choice but to release this as Yojiro Noda.
It was fun. Even though I didn’t intend to do that, I feel like I ended up making a really good album. I want you to listen freely and freely. I would be happy if you could look forward to it.
Lastly, I would like to thank Kuwabara and Takeda, who ended up participating in some of the songs despite being under the name Yojiro Noda, and HOLLY, who gave me the gateway to making this album.
