RADWIMPS' masterpieces and popular songs (121–130)
A Distant LoveRADWIMPS
One of the fun things about karaoke is getting hyped with high-energy songs, right? With that in mind, I’d like to recommend “Saihate Aini.” RADWIMPS wrote this track specifically for an Aquarius commercial.
It features a guitar-driven, fast-paced sound.
The lyrics depict a passionate kind of love, so singing it is sure to boost your mood.
By the way, intense songs can seem like they require a lot of lung capacity, but this one has clear breathing points, making it relatively easy to sing.

How about a rich, deep track packed with EDM elements? It’s a song by RADWIMPS, the popular band behind hits like “Zenzenzense,” released in 2022.
The track was written as the theme song for the drama “Ishiko and Haneo: You Sue for That?” It starts off quietly and gradually builds, but rather than being the kind of song that simply gets you hyped, it makes you think and stirs your emotions.
It might be just right for times when you want to take a fresh look at your life.
Millionaire JokerRADWIMPS
It’s classic indie guitar rock, but the crisp, punchy drums are highly effective and should make a strong impression on anyone hearing this kind of sound for the first time.
The drums also add a great groove that makes you want to check out the other tracks.
Zenzenzense (movie ver.)RADWIMPS
Even the origin of the band’s name—meaning “cool coward” or “splendid weakling”—embodies the musical duality and broad range of the four-piece rock band RADWIMPS.
This song was written as an insert track for the smash-hit animated film Your Name, and for many people it may have been the first time they heard of RADWIMPS.
It opens with a guitar riff full of drive and liberation, and when the off-beat drums kick in, the intro wraps you in a refreshing sensation strong enough to blow away any gloom.
It’s a power song that gives you the courage to get back up tomorrow and gives you a push from behind.

This song by RADWIMPS expresses the everyday, unassuming happiness around us and the hope that leads us toward the future.
It was written specifically as the theme song for Kirin Beverage’s “Gogo no Kocha” (Afternoon Tea) commercial.
The emotional sound is striking: it begins with a quiet piano tone that feels like murmuring one’s inner feelings, then unfolds into a grand chorus that seems to depict an expanding landscape.
It’s a piece that reminds us of the happiness found in daily life—something we want to cherish as we move forward.
Festival feat. Toko MiuraRADWIMPS
From rock numbers to film scores, RADWIMPS—a four-piece band whose musical talent is drawing attention from a wide range of listeners—has it all.
The track Celebration feat.
Toko Miura from the Weathering With You soundtrack makes a strong impression with vocals by Toko Miura, who is active as both an actress and a singer.
While the melody moves quickly and stays in a high register—so care is needed—it may be relatively easy to sing thanks to the limited large pitch fluctuations.
It’s a refreshing pop tune that’s sure to turn heads at karaoke, especially if you’re going with friends who know the film.
A self-destructive, self-centered (adolescent), self-dependent boyRADWIMPS
From hook-laden band sounds to film scores that closely serve each work, RADWIMPS—a four-piece rock band—continues to showcase its multifaceted talents within the J-pop scene.
The track “Jibōjiki Jiko Chūshinteki (Shishunki) Jikoizonshō no Shōnen,” included on their first album RADWIMPS, is especially striking for its edgy guitar opening.
The lyrics, which depict the vague anxieties and fears felt during adolescence, may feel like they speak directly for anyone living through their youth in real time.
It’s a wistful number whose dizzyingly shifting arrangement mirrors an unstable state of mind.
