When the name BRADIO falls, some will immediately think of the cheerful song FLYERS that was used as the opening song for anime series Death Parade. But did you know that this was already 5 years ago?

Time flies, doesn’t it? In the meantime, the band has been active for 10 years in total and they haven’t sat still in regards of new music, from new singles to several albums and even went major in 2017 when they moved to the Warner Music Japan label. Meanwhile, the band became a trio, when drummer Yuki decided to leave the band at the beginning of 2018. BRADIO went for the first time overseas by performing at A-Kon 2018 and returned to the United States with a performance at Otakon 2019.

Due to the current situation around COVID-19, the band had to make changes to some of their 10th-anniversary performances, but also had some other shows cancelled or postponed. Although this is not an easy period for anyone, BRADIO tried to bring some smiles into the livingrooms through a new video that is perfectly fit for your smartphone.

BRADIO‘s latest video encourage fans, or as the rock-funk band likes to call them Funky Party People, to stay active while staying at home, with the new song Fitness Funk. In the music video, the band members show how to dance on the catchy but short song, while singing the lyrics. They are inviting you to dance your heart out and freestyle is welcome. While the members are staying at home, as suggested by the Japanese government, it will not stop them in their creativity. And they take it a step further by starting a new TikTok account (@bradio_official_fpp). Time to get some more inspiration to stay in shape, keep on smiling and become funky.

      Then it is a very nice introduction to them. You should check out their Spotify for more songs. Or more videos. Whatever you choose: have fun!
