BEFORE holding their latest world tour, entitled The way you yawn, and the outcry of Peace to Jakarta, 19 May 2024 at Beach City International Stadium Ancol, Japanese rock band Radwimps announced that singer Toaka will appear as a guest star on their Asian tour series, which will start on April 21, 2024.
Toaka captured the attention of music lovers around the world thanks to the film Suzume. It all started when Radwimps collaborated with music composer Kazuma Jinnouchi to create the soundtrack and score for the film Suzume, which was directed by Makoto Shinkai.
Toaka, initially, auditioned to sing on one of the songs the Radwimps wrote in the film. It turns out that Toaka was chosen and her beautiful voice colored Suzume’s song on the film’s soundtrack album.
As a singer and songwriter, Toaka entered the music industry through a path often taken by many singers of his generation.
The 21 year old musician caught the attention of TikTok users through a number of covers and original songs. A number of major music labels came to him simultaneously when he was featured on Suzume’s song.
In February 2024, Toaka finally released his first EP through Universal Music Worldwide entitled Boku dakeno Ai, which showcased his extraordinary musicality and all his colorful personality.

The songs on Toaka’s first EP have a unique and varied approach. The song Discord-disco shows another side of Toaka, while the song Cinder ella is colored with a stomping dance beat.
Meanwhile, Toaka’s vocal dynamics shine in the song Boku Dakega Ai. Toaka’s lyrics on this EP balance two things – the various desires of his youthful soul and other things that are darker in nature.
Currently, Radwimps have just finished the Latin American leg of the RADWIMPS WORLD TOUR 2024 The way you yawn, and the outcry of Peace tour and are ready to leave for Asia to hold 15 concerts spread across 12 cities including Jakarta, Indonesia which will be held on May 19 2024 at Beach City International Stadium Ancol.

Reflecting on the enthusiasm of listeners in many countries and also seeing tickets to their show which sold out last year, Radwimps decided to return to Indonesia to appear in front of their loyal fans who in July last year had not had the chance to see them perform on stage.
Radwimps’ last concert in Jakarta in July 2023 was greeted with extraordinary enthusiasm from their fans. Initially, they planned to appear at the Senayan Basketball Hall, but all tickets sold out in just a matter of minutes. The concert was then moved to Tennis Indoor Senayan to accommodate more spectators.
The promoter also sold additional tickets, but all the additional tickets sold out in less than 1 hour. This concert succeeded in becoming the best-selling single concert by a group/band from Japan since the Covid-19 pandemic regulations in Indonesia were lifted. (RO/Z-1)
