RADWIMPS – Catharsist [Official Music Video]

Created to coincide with a major sporting festival, this song vividly captures physical sensations like sweat and tears.

Released in June 2018 as the band’s 22nd single, it became widely known as the theme for Fuji TV’s soccer broadcasts.

The exhilarating, fast-paced beat and Yojiro Noda’s signature wordplay in the rap section build into a chorus that feels like the world suddenly opens up—truly breathtaking.

The lyrics convey a sense of emotional catharsis that goes beyond simple wins and losses, encouraging anyone who takes on a challenge, not just athletes.

Later included on the album ANTI ANTI GENERATION, the track is also highly regarded as a visual work, with its music video winning at the SPACE SHOWER MUSIC AWARDS 2019.

Listen to it before a make-or-break moment, and it’s sure to ignite your fighting spirit.

Banzai Sensho

This is a song by RADWIMPS created together with a thousand 18-year-olds for a special NHK program.

It carefully depicts, like a single story, the dreams and anxieties of young people and their forward-looking steps into the future, resulting in an energetic, stirring anthem of encouragement.

Included on the album ANTI ANTI GENERATION, it became a much-talked-about gem in 2018.

Born from the passionate feelings of the youth involved, the piece was also performed on RADWIMPS’ nationwide ANTI ANTI GENERATION TOUR 2019.

As a song that colors energetic scenes where large groups move as one—like at sports festivals or group gymnastics—it naturally envelops the venue in a positive atmosphere.

RADWIMPS – Is That Alright? 2017 ver. [Official Music Video]

RADWIMPS, who became a huge hit among young people after composing the music for the film Your Name in 2016 and Weathering with You in 2019.

“Iindesuka?” is a track from their 2006 album RADWIMPS 4 ~Okazu no Gohan~.

The lyrics, which affirm one’s feelings for someone they like, encourage those experiencing unrequited love.

Romance isn’t only fun, but the feeling of “liking” someone is something we want to cherish, isn’t it?

RADWIMPS – Leap Day Person [Official Music Video]

A poignant song by RADWIMPS written as the theme for the film “The Last 10 Years.” It portrays the fragility of spending limited time with a loved one and highlights the preciousness of life.

The lyrics strikingly express a contradiction of modern society: physical distance can shrink, yet emotional distance remains.

The sense of helplessness and inner conflict—wanting to do something for someone you love but being unable to—hits close to the heart.

It’s a song that stays close to the sorrow of losing someone important while evoking hope for a reunion.

RADWIMPS – Order Made [Official Music Video]

It’s a song they released in 2008.

RADWIMPS’s “Song of Life” is a piece whose gentleness extends beyond sheer power, isn’t it? I feel like Yojiro Noda’s magical words in this track unravel the value and meaning of our existence here.

He explicitly said that this song is a dialogue with God, but when I wonder who exactly is placing the “order-made,” I find the strength to keep living welling up again.

This is a song distinguished by lyrics that resonate with the heart and a moving melody.

While weaving in grand themes such as fate and the future, it sings about the importance of cherishing special moments in everyday life.

It is included on RADWIMPS’s album “Ningen Kaika,” released in November 2016, and is also known as a featured song in the blockbuster film “Your Name.” Together with the film, the song sparked a social phenomenon.

It’s recommended for those who feel the sparkle of love, sense a fateful encounter, or wish to etch memories with someone dear into their hearts.

Give it a listen when your heart feels tired or when you need the courage to take one more step.

RADWIMPS – Kokoro no Naka Movie (StayHome ver.)

This song captivates the heart with RADWIMPS’ crystal-clear vocals.

Released on social media in June 2020, it carries a message of hope born during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Its powerful words, filled with the wish for everyday life to return, give listeners the courage to look forward even in difficult times.

The lyrics, shining with Yojiro Noda’s delicate sensibility, harmonize beautifully with a simple yet deeply resonant melody.

It’s a song I especially want those going through tough periods to hear—it will surely become a source of support.
