Ms. Jennifer YamadaRADWIMPS

The 2016 film Your Name became an exceptional hit for an animated movie.

The band that performed the film’s theme songs was RADWIMPS.

“Jennifer Yamada-san” is a B-side track from the 2006 single “Yūshinron.” It’s quite chaotic in content, and there are parts of the lyrics that are covered with censor beeps.

These beeps were removed in the version later included on the album ME SO SHE LOOSE.
