RADWIMPS – Zenzenzense (movie ver.) [Official Music Video]

Released in August 2016 as the theme song for Makoto Shinkai’s film “Your Name.,” this track captures the theme of a fated encounter that transcends time with a driving rock sound.

It unfolds a grand love story—vowing to find the other person even after countless reincarnations—propelled by fast-paced guitars and drums.

An especially memorable anecdote is that Yojiro Noda created the song after Shinkai asked him to “sing the very heart of the story with everything you’ve got,” and true to those words, its direct emotional expression is deeply moving.

Performed at the 67th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen in 2016, the song skyrocketed RADWIMPS’s popularity.

It’s a classic perfect for getting everyone fired up at karaoke or belting out passionately with friends.
