Major debut under Toshiba EMI

In November 2005, the band made their major debut under Toshiba EMI ‘s Virgin Records label, with the single “Nijūgoko-me no Senshokutai”, followed by “EDP (Tonde Hi ni Iru Natsu no Kimi)” in January, both of which rose to the top 50. In shifting to a major label, Noda explained that the band took the same stance as they had as an independent group, and that “If we thought we were bigger on a major label, that would have been a big mistake”. The band’s third and first major-label album, Radwimps 3: Mujintō ni Motte Ikiwasureta Ichimai , regraded 3 in March 2006, was a landmark in establishing their popularity, debuting at number 13 on the Oricon Albums Chart . Radwimps 3 saw a change in the band’s musical style, allowing them to be more experimental in their sound.
