RADWIMPS are a japanese band, really famous over here but not that well known outside japan cus they dont advertise themselves in programmes like MUSIC STATION and HEY HEY HEY. but they're really awesome and the singer can speak english so the songs are english japanese mix which is cool. they're really popular over here especially with the age group of 15~30 years.

Information from wikipedia
The current member roster is as follows:

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.
Yōjirō Noda has lived in America for four years, which accounts for prevalence of English lyrics in the band's songs.

Nice stuff KAZdoramma. This is just the right balance between indie and pop.

yeah they do maintain a great balance,,but if u listen to some of the other songs too, they've got heavier ones, so rock, indie, and pop i think. BUT really glad u liked it
