RADWIMPS – Aloof [Official Music Video]

Speaking of RADWIMPS, they’ve created many refreshingly fast-paced, rock band-style songs, but their love ballads—featuring the poignant lyrics written by vocalist Yojiro Noda—are truly wonderful as well! Among them, this is a song that many listeners will likely relate to, the kind that tightens your chest as you listen.

True to Noda’s style, it frequently features high tones, so it’s recommended for those confident in their upper range.

The melody outside the chorus is particularly distinctive, so it’s a good idea to listen carefully beforehand and get a solid grasp of the melodic line.
