RADWIMPS' classic and popular songs

Let me introduce some songs by RADWIMPS, a rock band that represents the “Rockin’ On” scene.

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

The guitarist-vocalist Yojiro Noda grew up abroad, while the other members studied at music vocational schools or conservatories, making their English-language lyrics and high level of musicianship part of their charm as well.

If you were born in the early ’90s, chances are many of the songs you listened to in high school are included in this playlist.

Give it a listen and let it take you back to your youth.
