Touko Miura won a singing competition in order to get the honor of performing the vocals for this new RADWIMPS song. as for the song itself, it features the band doing the sakanaction style, which is a sort of fusion of alternative rock, electronic, pop, and new wave styles. The band isn’t particularly known for using that style, but they’re pulling it off nicely, don’t you think?
