The tour kicks off on March 15 in Mexico City at Pepsi Center WTC and will also hit markets including Monterrey and São Paulo before wrapping on March 24 in Santiago at Caupolican Theatre.

RADWIMPS teamed up with highly acclaimed film music composer Kazuma Jinnouchi to create the perfect soundtrack and score for award-winning auteur director Makoto Shinkai's latest film “Suzume.” Toaka, Already gaining attention online, got her big break when she had the opportunity to audition for a guest vocalist spot on a song composed by RADWIMPS for the film.She landed it, and contributed a performance highlighting both the understated and soaring side of her voice on the movie's title track.

Singer-songwriter Toaka came into music like many others her age. The 21-year-old creator first caught attention on TikTok, via covers of other songs and eventually her originals, leading to major-label looks and her contribution to “Suzume”. The songstress just released her first major label EP (Universal Music Worldwide), Boku dakeno Ai, that shows the range of both her artistry and personal self. Her first collection of songs reveals an eclectic approach to music. “Discord-disco” slithers ahead while showcasing Toaka's unnerving side, while “Cinder ella” bounces forward on a dance beat. “Boku dakega Ai,” meanwhile, places Toaka against a sparser backdrop, showcasing the dynamics of her voice. The lyrics throughout balance between youthful longing and something a touch darker.

Formed in 2001, Japanese 4-piece band RADWIMPS made their major label debut in 2005. Soon after, they garnered a broad fan base, with the younger generation at the core. The band has released NINE studio albums thus far.

Their musical activities go far beyond Japan, including touring extensively around the world.

In Nov. 2021, the band released their latest studio album “FOREVER DAZE” and went on the road for a nationwide Japanese tour to support the album. “FOREVER DAZE” was written and recorded throughout the pandemic and speaks to the musical challenges the guys faced, their hopes moving forward and features a diverse group of collaborators and experimental elements.
