YOASOBI will participate in RADWIMPS's tribute album "Dear Jubilee -RADWIMPS TRIBUTE-," set to be released on Nov. 19.
"Dear Jubilee -RADWIMPS TRIBUTE-" is the band's first tribute album, created to commemorate the 20th anniversary of RADWIMPS's major-label debut. The album is set to feature a total of 14 songs, with participating artists being revealed one by one each day. Following the announcements of iri, Mone Kamishiraishi, Zutto Mayonaka de Iinoni., Hayato Sumino (Penthouse), SEKAI NO OWARI, DISH//, Vaundy, Hanaregumi, My Hair is Bad, Mrs. GREEN APPLE, and Hiroji Miyamoto (Elephant Kashimashi), YOASOBI's participation has now been revealed.
YOASOBI is also scheduled to appear as a guest at the Yokohama Arena Day 3 concert in Kanagawa on Nov. 24, as part of RADWIMPS's ongoing arena tour, "RADWIMPS 20th ANNIVERSARY LIVE TOUR." Last month, Ayase and ikura also contributed comments to RADWIMPS's pop-up "20th Anniversary Special Exhibition: We Don't Know RADWIMPS Yet."
The duo will cover "Kaishin no Ichigeki," a track from the 2013 album "Batsu to Maru to Tsumi to." Plusonica, the cover song unit ikura was formerly a part of, will also participate in the rearrangement of this killer tune, known for being a surefire highlight at live shows. YOASOBI commented, "'Kaishin no Ichigeki' is a special and memorable song for us, as ikura covered it with her band in high school. This time, with the help of everyone from Plusonica, we've created a cover with our own arrangement full of respect for RADWIMPS. We hope many people will enjoy it."
