The band's second album, Hatten Tojou, was released in 2005 and they undertook a large-scale tour, playing at several large music festivals. Saiki was not replaced Yusuke Takeda and Satoshi Yamaguchi joined, on bass and drums, respectively, after which the lineup remained stable. When they regrouped in 2004, Saiki, Asou, and Shibafuji declined to return. Their self-titled debut album followed in 2003 before the band went on hiatus so the members could focus on their exams. (Later, he started playing guitar in the band in addition to singing.) Radwimps started performing while still in school and won the grand prize in the 2002 Yokohama High School Music Festival with their song 'Moshi Mo,' which they released as their first single.

Noda, who wrote all the band's music and lyrics, became a singer after getting into Oasis in middle school, and was asked by the others to be the vocalist. Radwimps were formed in Yokohama in 2001 by five schoolmates: vocalist Yojiro Noda, guitarists Akira Kuwahara and Yuusuke Saiki, bassist Kei Asou, and drummer Akio Shibafuji. From there, each platinum release climbed further up the charts until they started a number one chart-run in 2016 with Your Name, the soundtrack to the anime of the same name. Following their eponymous 2003 debut, the group broke into the Japanese mainstream with third effort Mujinto ni Motte Ikiwasureta Ichimai, their first platinum-certified set.

Japan's Radwimps plied a technical, angular, often abrasive brand of indie rock with emotive, literate lyrics, which brought them huge chart success in their own country, and respectable sales overseas, despite none of their albums ever being officially released outside of Japan.
