Their songs feature a mixture of different rhythms and possess traces of techno, pop, hip-hop, etc... Their name is a mix of the English words 'rad' and 'wimp'. It is a term they coined themselves meaning "excellent weakling" or "superlative coward".Sometimes the band goes by just the shortened version of their name, Rad.
Their record company is EMI Music Japan and with them they have released four CD's and some singles. It is worth noting that all the songs were composed by Youjirou Noda, the vocalist, who has lived in America for four years which may explain the prevalence of English lyrics in the band's songs.
Members:
Yōjirō Noda (野田洋次郎) (July 5, 1985) vocals, guitar.
Akira Kuwahara (桑原彰) (April 4, 1985) guitar and band leader.
Yūsuke Takeda (武田祐介) (May 24, 1985) bass guitar.
Satoshi Yamaguchi (山口智史) (March 20, 1985) drums. close

i love the lyrics and sound.
i just started to listen to them recently 
my faves are DADA and 05410-(ん) 
a lot of well-done MADs use their music as bg, this is the first one that pops into my head
Actually I just can't stand his voice. It resonates some weird way in my ears and makes me wanna plug them.
That's how it is for most of their songs. But then I listened to DADA and I loved it. And it was so catchy that I couldn't get that song out of my head for WEEKS. Even now it sometimes suddenly starts play in my head. :-D
