① genre music is rare in RADWIMPS' previous works, but it is the king of movie soundtrack, so RADWIMPS is your name. "I created a lot of music of type 1; It's the kind of music I've always been good at, in your name. "There are only three songs. But at the same time, the relatively rare ④ song in the movie soundtrack is in your name. "Also caused a great sensation. This makes your name. The music of ""has a strong sense of freshness, whether as the soundtrack of the film or as the music works of Ludwinps.
In order to meet the diverse demands for music in different scenes of the film, except for drummer Satoshi Yamaguchi, three members of RADWIMPS participated in music creation, and were responsible for different types of music according to their respective personalities and talents.
Among them, the bassist Woosuke Takeda participated in the arrangement for the first time. Takeda is a type of music, and he has made great efforts to find a synthesizer sound source suitable for the live atmosphere.
And more difficult is yet to come. In the past, Ludwig's music was all the band's own works. As long as Noda Yojiro thought it was ok, there was no problem. However, the music created this time is part of Makoto Shinkai's film works, and Xinhai has to nod. Several times, the members handed in their own music with satisfaction, but were called back by Xinhai to rewrite it, which made them complain bitterly. By his own admission, Xinhai's demands on RADWIMPS can sometimes be described as overwhelming. Fortunately, director Xinhai's musical literacy is enough to communicate smoothly with the members of the orchestra. Even if they are asked to rewrite it, they can give specific instructions and reduce their burden.
At the same time, the enthusiasm and persistence of Xinhai's works deeply touched Radwinps. Xinhai gave OK instructions to the received music several times. On the contrary, Noda offered to write better, which puzzled Xinhai.
