From Batsu to Maru to Tsumi to (2013). Batsu to Maru to Tsumi to is a 2013 studio album by RADWIMPS. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Custom Shop 1968 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue through a Hughes & Kettner Triamp Mark III, the rig we use for RADWIMPS' other songs from Batsu to Maru to Tsumi to, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.
