Ubu (stylised as UBU) is the debut album of Japanese musician Yojiro Noda, vocalist for the rock band Radwimps, under the solo name Illion. It was released on February 25, 2013, in the United Kingdom and Ireland, with releases in Japan and continental Europe following in March 2013.
Noda had worked together with Radwimps for 12 years, releasing six albums. Their most recent album, Zettai Zetsumei, was released in 2011, and Radwimps had released their 14th single, "Sprechchor," on August 1, 2012.
Noda first announced his solo project in November 2012, and was interviewed at English interview with music website NME. Noda wanted to perform music globally, however decided a solo project was better to do it with, as performing outside Japan was not a goal of the band.
One month after the album's release, Radwimps released a new single, "Dreamer's High."
Noda released a live performance music video for "Brain Drain" on December 23, shot at Abbey Road Studios. It was first shown across 11 advertising screens in Shibuya, Tokyo, at 8:23pm, and a slightly different version was released to YouTube at the same time. It was released for a limited time of 48 hours, and was taken down on December 25, 2012. The song was released to iTunes on January 16, 2013.
UBU and I'll be me
That's the way it's supposed to be
We're all in this together
UBU and I'll be me
That's the way it's supposed to be
We should be working together
In a room full of circles and squares
I sit and wonder
Does anybody dare to be different?
I think if I were you and you were me
You'd see that we're the same
It's all a game, ain't nothing changed
We're the same in the sense that we need to be
L O V E D
Hypothetically, love starts when you respect yourself
So tell me what you see when you see you
UBU and I'll be me
That's the way it's supposed to be
We're all in this together
UBU and I'll be me
That's the way it's supposed to be
We should be working together
There's a man on the corner of nowhere and 5th
I wonder how he ended up like this
Without a dime to his name, it's a shame
Mmm, mmm, mmm
He took a chance with the wrong friends
Got caught up to no good in the neighborhood
Where it's hard to survive, staying alive
It's a full time job
Living larger than the next guy
UBU and I'll be me
That's the way it's supposed to be
We're all in this together
UBU and I'll be me
That's the way it's supposed to be
We should be working together
Little girl with hopes and big dreams
Don't get swayed by those sex fiends
I understand that you want a man
But a real man will help you stand
UBU and I'll be me
That's the way it's supposed to be
We're all in this together
UBU and I'll be me
That's the way it's supposed to be
We should be working together
UBU and I'll be me
That's the way it's supposed to be
We're all in this together
UBU and I'll be me
That's the way it's supposed to be
We should be working together
UBU and I'll be me
That's the way it's supposed to be
We're all in this together
UBU and I'll be me
That's the way it's supposed to be
We should be working together
