Source-derived summary

Misoshiru's (Japanese: 味噌汁’s, Hepburn: Misoshiruzu; "The Miso-Soups") is a Japanese punk rock band. A fictional stage persona for the band Radwimps that was created in 2005, the project was first unveiled in 2006 when Misoshiru's were the billed artist for the band's song "Jennifer Yamada-san". In 2013, Misoshiru's was revived, and released their debut album Me So She Loose through Universal Music Japan.

Biography

The band's name was coined by drummer Satoshi Yamaguchi, during recording sessions where Radwimps switched musical instruments. Yamaguchi, then playing the role of the lead vocalist Yojiro Noda, announced the band as Misoshiru's. The band recorded their first song under the Misoshiru's name, "Jennifer Yamada-san" (ジェニファー山田さん, Jenifā Yamada-san; "Ms. Jennifer Yamada"), and included it as the B-side on Radwimps' 2006 single "Yūshinron". Misoshiru's performed during Radwimps' 2006 Sonata to Iku Fuyu Tour, where they performed "Jennifer Yamada-san" as well as "Yonaki", a song that had been featured as a hidden track on Radwimps' album Radwimps 4: Okazu no Gohan. Miso Shiru's performed at Radwimps' 2007 tour of Japan, Harumaki, when they came on stage during the final encore, acting as if Radwimps had been their opening act.

In 2013, the project was revived, when the band made a surprise performance at Radwimps' outdoor summer event Ao to Meme on September 15, 2013.
