Yojiro Noda, the frontman for the much acclaimed Japanese rock band RADWIMPS, is excited to unveil his new single “PAIN KILLER” today. This track is a glimpse into his forthcoming solo album, ‘WONDER BOY’S AKUMU CLUB,’ which is scheduled for release on September 25.
The album is a collection of Yojiro’s personal stories boasting a total of 13 tracks including “EVERGREEN feat. kZm,” released this April, which features Japanese rapper kZm and “KATATOKI,” a collab song with American rapper J.I.D featured on the game “Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name.”
The limited Edition CD comes with a T-shirt featuring an original character AKUMU-KUN by the manga artist and illustrator Posuka Demizu. Originated from Yojiro’s idea to express his solo project with an icon that can freely embody his music, through numerous exchanges of ideas between Mr. Demizu and Yojiro, the one-and-only AKUMU-KUN came to life as a universal and invincible character based on the image of Yojiro as a model.
