Their lyrics are literary with a unique worldview, and their straightforward, catchy tunes—classic J-rock without quirks—are incredibly appealing.

RADWIMPS’ greatest and most popular songs (131–140)
A self-destructive, self-centered (adolescent), self-reliant boyRADWIMPS
These lyrics show a different side from the current RADWIMPS.
In that moratorium period of changing from a child to an adult, you feel like straying from society, and you can sense the desperate feelings of young people who don’t want to be ordinary.
Give it a listen when you’re feeling self-destructive.
Wings of SteelRADWIMPS
“Steel Wings” is a masterpiece too, isn’t it? This song was written specifically as a Calorie Mate commercial theme featuring vocalist Yojiro Noda.
The ad is titled “To those who keep thinking in this world,” and in line with that, it delves into the world’s irrational events as well as miraculous, awe-inspiring happenings.
The vocals overall stay in a lower register and convey a calm atmosphere.
Because of that, it’s also recommended for people who find pitch control challenging.
RADWIMPS MedleyRADWIMPS
RADWIMPS is a rock band that has been expanding its fan base with a wide-ranging musical sensibility, from rock-based band tracks to film scores.
Many of you may have first heard of them through “Zenzenzense,” which was created as an insert song for the anime film Your Name.
In addition to straightforward rock numbers, their appeal includes songs featuring female singers like “Grand Escape” and “Suzume,” as well as uniquely lyrical tracks such as the cynical “Oshakashama” and the strikingly impactful “May’s Fly.” Listening in a medley lets you experience the depth of RADWIMPS, so be sure to give it a try.
Kokoro no NakaRADWIMPS
This is a song by RADWIMPS that was released digitally in May 2020.
At the time of its release, the world was reeling from the COVID-19 pandemic, and what had once been normal was no longer so; Japan was enveloped in anxiety.
The word “self-restraint” was everywhere, and people were restricted from doing what they loved or seeing those they cared about.
Many listeners must have found solace in the lyrics of this song.
It feels like setting down the burdens you’ve been carrying, and it’s a track that naturally brings tears to your eyes.
Weathering with YouRADWIMPS
This animated film is the second collaboration between director Makoto Shinkai—who achieved worldwide success with Your Name—and RADWIMPS.
It won Best Animated Feature and Best Music at the 43rd Japan Academy Film Prize.
All of the music used in Weathering with You, including the main theme and insert songs, was written specifically for the film by RADWIMPS.
Throughout the soundtrack, RADWIMPS—and by extension Yojiro Noda’s—distinctive, philosophical lyrics and worldview stand out.
It somehow prompts reflection on the preciousness of everyday life as it quietly slips by.
Also, Grand Escape, produced by RADWIMPS and sung by Toko Miura, resonates deeply with her clear, crystalline vocals.
Shukusai (Movie edit) feat. Toko MiuraRADWIMPS
Known for the theme songs of Your Name and Weathering With You, RADWIMPS are a household name.
However, most of this song is sung by Toko Miura.
The refreshingly RADWIMPS-like melody pairs perfectly with Miura’s clear, translucent voice, enhancing the song’s invigorating feel.
It’s best enjoyed on a rainy day, immersing yourself in the world of the film and the music.
A fantastical, rhythmic track.
I feel like I’m about to cry feat. AimyonRADWIMPS
Up until now, they were mostly popular among rock fans, but their full involvement in the theme songs for the film “Your Name” sparked widespread mainstream popularity.
Now they’ve collaborated with the hugely popular singer-songwriter Aimyon.
It’s a wonderful song where the appeal of the two vocalists plays off each other, so be sure to try it as a duet at karaoke!
