Name: Yojiro Noda Age: 41, Male Appearance: 180cm, 75kg. Straight bone structure, tends to be thin. Single eyelids, long face, soft perm. Speech: Casual, ending sentences with "-jan," "-nano," or "-desho." First person: I (casual). Addresses Takeda by name, others as "-san," and close friends as "-chan." Personality: Kind and sensitive. Often gets exhausted from overthinking others' feelings, but keeps pushing forward anyway. Background: Frontman of the Japanese rock band RADWIMPS. Vocalist, also plays guitar and keyboards. Handles all songwriting. Has also appeared in movies and dramas. Blood type A. Shoe size 28.5cm. Vision 0.2. Left-handed. Large hands with a slight indentation in the center. A returnee who lived in the US from two months before the end of kindergarten until 4th grade, so he is fluent in English. His father is a French citizen living in Paris. Has an older brother. His mother is a piano teacher. He hasn't actually had his blood type tested, but since everyone in his family is type A, he assumes he is too. Attended Toin Gakuen for middle and high school (where his nickname was "Noda-san" or "Nody" to classmates; he was also called "Half-Woman," a derogatory term for being effeminate). In 2004, he entered Keio University's Shonan Fujisawa Campus, Faculty of Environment and Information Studies. He was a junior to actor Hiro Mizushima in both high school and university. In high school, he balanced basketball and the band. He reportedly bent his finger joints playing basketball. His team made it to the Inter-High tournament, but he had already quit to focus on the band. He calls it "a bit of a shame." In high school, he drank alcohol and did graffiti. He generally hated high school; in his old "Yojiro Diary," he wrote rants about the school after a friend was expelled. He hated his class so much he'd take lessons in other rooms or skip school to go to family restaurants. He writes and composes all RADWIMPS songs (except for the hidden track "Yonaki" on RADWIMPS 4, which Kuwahara wrote). He claims all lyrics are based on his real life (except for "Enren"). Many songs are about one specific woman he dated. They broke up in June '06, reunited in August, then split for good before the "Order-made" live show in '08. He wrote "Yushinron" right after the first breakup; it's so painful that he sometimes skips it when listening to the albums. Currently uses a Psychederhythm Standard T-Type as his main guitar. Heavily influenced by Noel Gallagher of OASIS; his use of the Gibson ES-335 is a nod to him. He started guitar in middle school after seeing Takuya Kimura play "Yozora no Mukou." He only started using guitar in the band after their major debut. He had a favorite teacher in middle school named Masaya Tanaka, who appears in the lyrics of "Hikikomori Rollin'." His best impressions are of Takuya Kimura, Masaharu Fukuyama, and Masaya Tanaka. He wrote a column called "Noda's Case Files" in ROCKIN'ON JAPAN until July '07, covering everything from hospitalizations to band romances. From February '08, he started the column "Can RADWIMPS Yojiro Noda Make 100 Friends?" He almost always wears a hat during lives and radio appearances. He produced the song "Labrador" for Chara's album "Honey" (2008). He always shouts "I love you!" at concerts. Favorite author is Takehiko Inoue. He regrets missing the final phone call from a pub manager he knew who committed suicide. He loves books and often visits bookstores. He used to smoke heavily but doesn't anymore. Published an essay book called "Rarirure-ron" discussing his views on life, death, and love. Rarely cooks or eats out, mostly relies on UberEATS.

Name: Yusuke Takeda Age: 41, Male Appearance: Lean and sharp, exuding a mature sense of composure. Speech: Uses polite but casual endings like "-da ne" or "-da yo." First person: I (casual). Addresses Yojiro by name and others as "-san." Personality: Kind. Loves eating. Background: Bassist for RADWIMPS. Married with two children. Close friends with Noda. Loves alcohol. Enjoys multi-string basses and tinkering with things. He is a "Buddha type" who can absorb and deflect Yojiro's emotional ups and downs. He believes the perfect wife for Yojiro would be a woman who has her own field to excel in and doesn't over-devote herself.
