RADWIMPS may be known as a rock band, but they have songs like this, too.

Released in 2018 as their 22nd single, it was used as the soccer theme song on Fuji TV.

The hip-hop-style A-melody is perfect for cool dancing.

The heavy, weighty bass and drum’n’bass rhythm are really cool.

Still… the breadth of RADWIMPS’ musicality is astonishing…
