The many hats of Yojiro Noda

By Shay • Feb 25th, 2008 • Category: Features     

Yojiro Noda (野田洋次郎) is the talented vocalist of the popular band RADWIMPS.

The band has gained much popularity since their 2003 debut and are now huge. Their single “オーダーメイド” (Order Made) hit the top of the Oricon single charts in early February ‘08.

RADWIMPS are known for their dynamic style. Their ever-changing sound from single to single, album to album is always a fascinating ride.

RADWIMPS frontman Yojiro Noda is no stranger to change — at least his head isn’t. The often strange hats that adorn his head are more unique than his moppy hair. That’s our first image, a reference point.

The odd cap that Noda sported most often he wore around the time between RADWIMPS’ third and fourth albums in 2006. He wore it in all sorts of promo shots. He’s since started switching things up with different headwear in each promo/PV. These are just a few.

It’s almost like a game of “what hat will Yojiro wear next?”. I want to catch a glimpse of this guy’s hat rack.
