RADWIMPS – Order Made [Official Music Video]

These are amusing lyrics in the form of a dialogue between “Somebody” and “Me.” We have two arms, two legs, two ears, two eyes—but only one mouth and one heart.

The lyrics may be the result of Yojiro Noda’s own thoughts on why that is.

As a song, it also features an interesting arrangement where the final, big chorus shifts into 3/4 time.

With its challenging musical tone and lyrics that feel like they’re mocking society, this song has something in common with “Oshakashama,” which also offers sharp social satire.

However, while that one ends on a hopeful note, this one finishes on a slightly darker, more cynical tone.

Perhaps it’s suggesting we try living a bit more slowly and gently?

Grand Escape (Movie Edit)

It’s a grand and beautiful song that makes you want to soar into the sky.

Created by the rock band RADWIMPS and sung by vocalist Toko Miura, it was produced as the theme song for Makoto Shinkai’s animated film “Weathering With You” and included on the album “Weathering With You,” released in July 2019.

The lyrics express a strong resolve to break free from the stifling feeling of everyday life and carve out a future together with someone precious.

From its quiet beginning to a chorus that bursts open like a release, the song grips the listener’s heart and doesn’t let go.

If you listen while gazing up at the vast sky, you’ll surely feel courage welling up inside.

Kimi to Hitsuji to Ao was written specifically as the theme song for NHK’s soccer broadcasts in 2011.

It’s an uplifting song aimed at people chasing their dreams, depicting the joy and wonder of immersing yourself wholeheartedly in something.

The chorus has a rhythm reminiscent of soccer supporter chants, making it perfect for moments when everyone wants to raise their voices together and get pumped up.

Also, the clear, crisp accents make it approachable even for those who struggle with subtle pitch nuances.

RADWIMPS – Gift [Official Music Video]

This song was written as the theme for the NHK morning drama series “Anpan,” airing from April 2025.

Its stylish sound—blending city pop and jazz—pairs beautifully with the warm vocals.

The lyrics carry a gentle message from the creators: even in a world that isn’t all fun and games, it’s okay to look forward to tomorrow.

Like a “letter,” it gives a supportive nudge toward new challenges.

Listening to it on the train to school or during a reflective moment after classes might make the ordinary feel a little more special.

It’s Nothing (movie ver.)RADWIMPS

Nandemonaiya (Movie Version)

The ending theme song of the film “Your Name.” is a challenging piece with a very wide vocal range from low to high.

When singing, the biggest key is breath and voice control to switch between delicate lows and powerful highs.

It starts quietly and gradually builds, so the chorus’s sense of intensity and contrast is very important.

The tempo is relaxed, so you should have plenty of time to breathe.

Take a deep breath with diaphragmatic breathing and let it all out in the chorus.

For the talk-like delivery in the A section, singing as if you’re telling it to yourself will help create the right mood.

It’s a song overflowing with happiness.

The lyrics, repeated in question form, stick in your head as you listen, making you keep asking yourself—an addictive quality.

The final conclusion—because all of it is proof that I existed here and now—strikes you with a jolt.
