“Knowing that all I’ll do is shine and fade away, I still shine—aren’t I beautiful?” It’s an early masterpiece by RADWIMPS, with lyrics likening oneself to a firefly that seep right into the heart.

The build-up toward the latter half is especially striking; the structure, the lyrics, and the melody all move you to tears—such a song.

This track, RADWIMPS’ first to serve as a film theme song, weaves an exquisite harmony of its memorable melody and ao’s flow.

It opens with a dreamy intro and reveals new discoveries with every listen—a profoundly layered piece.

It’s recommended for those who want to share time with someone special or reexamine the meaning of life.

A captivating song that lets you experience RADWIMPS’ musical world more deeply.

This song, which has a very gentle vibe, is “By My Side.” As the title suggests, it means “stay by my side.” In the song, the girl goes away, but the final lyric, “someday you come to me and say ‘Hi,’” really hits home.

RADWIMPS – Manifesto [Official Music Video]

It’s a song with an amusing opening line: “If I became Prime Minister—.” The title being “Manifesto” makes perfect sense, too.

The music video, which seems to be modeled after a political rally, is sharply satirical and stands out as a remarkable piece of visual work.

In particular, the crowd getting fired up as if in protest is a highlight.

“I’ve always loved you.” “Really?…”RADWIMPS

RADWIMPS – “I’ll always love you” “Really?…” (I’ll keep loving you, really?) Korean lyrics, translation

This song gives off a mid-tempo, pop vibe.

I think many of us can relate to the disarmingly honest feeling: “I know the more I believe in eternity, the sadder I’ll become, but when it comes to parting with you, I just want to fling it far away to somewhere far beyond the axis of time.”

Sparkle (movie ver.)RADWIMPS

Your Name/Kimi no Na wa/君の名は。 Orchestra Concert: Sparkle/スパークル

In the scene where this song plays, countless viewers must have clasped their hands and wished, “Please! Remember her name.” It’s the moment when the situation becomes most fully revealed in the story.

As Mitsuha, together with Tesshi and Sayachin, works to carry out the evacuation, the comet begins to break apart.

The dreamlike visuals leave a deep impression, and amid the beautiful imagery and the swelling sense of heartbreak, this song felt truly epic.
