A youth song with great lyrics. A lovely message that stays with your heart.

Song SevenRADWIMPS

Nanoka

RADWIMPS, who continue to captivate countless listeners with their unique worldview.

Featured on their 2009 masterpiece Altcolony no Teiri, this song is especially striking for its structure, opening with a grand, gospel-like chorus.

Despite its six-and-a-half-minute length, the dramatic arc—from a quiet, storytelling tone to a chorus that erupts with emotion—never fails to stir the heart with each listen.

Lyrics by Yojiro Noda that affirm fate and express love for family—like “Oton to Okan” (Dad and Mom)—are surely etched deeply into the hearts of many who spent their youth with this music.

It’s a number that creates moving, unifying moments across entire venues at live shows, so give it a listen on a night when you want to forget the bustle of daily life and immerse yourself in music.

March 9th – Remioromen (Full)

The song “March 9th,” which was originally written as a wedding gift for a friend, has now become a graduation staple! What’s great about its lyrics is how they make you think of that special someone who supports you.

Friends, teammates, teachers, lovers—who you picture will differ from person to person, but I think everyone has at least one person who made them feel, “I was able to keep going because they were there for me.” Set against the imagery of cherry blossoms, it’s a coming-of-age song that conveys gratitude to those who supported us and a warm wish to be someone who supports them in return.
