RADWIMPS – me me she [Official Music Video]

Let me introduce a classic ballad that sings of a man’s aching heart, still thinking of his former lover even after the breakup.

Created by RADWIMPS, one of Japan’s leading popular bands, this track is included on their landmark album “RADWIMPS 4: Okazu no Gohan,” released in December 2006.

Despite never being released as a single, it has long enjoyed overwhelming support among fans.

The lyrics vividly depict the lingering attachment to a love that has ended, as well as the ego that, while wishing for the other’s happiness, can’t help but prioritize oneself.

The world of Yojiro Noda’s honest and complex emotional landscape—so distinctly his—will pierce the hearts of adults who usually put on a brave face.

On nights when you carry a weakness you can tell no one about, why not listen to this song alone in silence and let yourself cry your heart out?

Sharan Q “Sly Woman” OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO

Back then, I think I used to imitate Tsunku from Sharam Q—his way of singing and his voice.

In my thirties I still had a touch of youthfulness.

I was drawn to the pop melody and sang it without paying much attention to the lyrics.

As I got older, I came to understand the full picture of the “sly woman” the song portrays, and decided, Alright, I’ll become a sly woman too—let’s keep that our little secret.
