Isn’t the personification of the moon an idea that somehow hasn’t really been done before? The lyrics are packed with RAD-like metaphors, the sweet vocals, and the unexpectedly cute guitar sound all delicately color the season of “September.” The way the chorus takes its time to appear is endearing and lovely, too.

2023-03-09 3rd-year grade chorus “Seikai”

A song that delicately portrays the struggles of youth.

It was released digitally first in January 2024, followed by a CD release in February.

This work, delivered by RADWIMPS after five years, also includes versions such as mixed three-part chorus and female three-part chorus.

Originally written for an NHK special program in 2018, the song has since become a staple of the graduation season.

Its lyrics masterfully capture the feelings of an 18-year-old, and its melody—tinged with sadness yet filled with hope—resonates across generations.

It’s a track I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone in the midst of finding themselves.

25th ChromosomeRADWIMPS

RADWIMPS – The 25th Chromosome [Official Music Video]

As their first single after making their major-label debut, this song was released together with RADWIMPS’ declaration of intent.

The title is unique and intriguing, but of course humans have only 23 pairs of chromosomes.

So what are the remaining two? It’s a track I’d like you to listen to while pondering that question.

Last VirginRADWIMPS

RADWIMPS – Last Virgin [Official Music Video]

This is a song released by RADWIMPS in October 2013, known for their unique worldview and profound lyrics.

It’s a rock ballad themed around romance that depicts a once-in-a-lifetime love.

The phrases “for the first time in my life” and “the first and the last” are striking, expressing a bond with a loved one.

It’s also included on the album “X to O to Tsumi to” and is popular as wedding BGM.

Yojiro Noda’s emotionally rich vocals and melodies are deeply moving.

The song carefully portrays the anxieties and hopes that arise in love, as well as the feeling of trusting your partner, making it a track you can listen to while reflecting on your own experiences.

Okoshite

The title of this song is “Wake Me Up.” It’s the kind of song that says, “I’ll be waiting here, so wake me up when you come back.” It portrays the aching feelings of a man who was left by his girlfriend but still can’t stop thinking about her.

Most of the lyrics are in English, but it seems the reason he still can’t give up lies in the Japanese parts of the lyrics.

RADWIMPS – A Small Beginning [Audio]

An instrumental piece notable for its delicate piano timbre.

It’s included on the album “Tontei 10-nen ~Original Soundtrack~,” which drew attention as the first time RADWIMPS handled the music for a live-action film in its entirety.

Released in March 2022 to coincide with the film’s premiere, this work condenses the subtle emotions that set the story in motion into roughly one minute.

With no lyrics, it won’t interfere with the atmosphere of the photos or videos you post, making it an appealing choice for creating a refined mood.

Is there still anything that love can do?RADWIMPS

RADWIMPS – Is There Still Anything That Love Can Do? [Official Music Video]

A song by RADWIMPS that gained popularity as the theme song for Makoto Shinkai’s film Weathering With You, following Your Name.

Many people may have discovered it through the movie’s theme, but this track prompts deep reflection on the universal theme of love.

It also matches the film’s content, and when heard within the work, it draws you even further into the movie’s world—a truly wonderful song.
