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?

A gem-like ballad by RADWIMPS that stands beside everyone at a crossroads in life.
There are no ready-made answers like on a school test; the path you choose for yourself is what’s truly precious—a warm yet powerful message that strikes straight to the heart.
Its moving arrangement, layered with a student chorus, is guaranteed to bring listeners to tears.
Originally performed with 1,000 young people at NHK’s “RADWIMPS 18 Festival” in 2018, it garnered a huge response.

Perfect for graduation and seasons of departure, this work also resonates deeply with adults who carry doubts.

This is an epic love song over six minutes long that delicately portrays the wavering emotions of an ambiguous romance.
The bittersweet feelings of being elated or dejected by a partner’s slightest gestures or words are expressed over a calm and beautiful melody.
Included on RADWIMPS’ album ANTI ANTI GENERATION, released in December 2018, the song was also used as the theme for ABEMA’s dating reality show Who Is the Wolf?, resonating strongly with younger audiences.
The music video features Nana Komatsu and Fuju Kamio, resulting in a striking visual piece that reflects contemporary views on love.
It’s a track best enjoyed when you can really take your time singing—whether during a solo karaoke session or at karaoke with close friends in a relaxed setting.
SparkleRADWIMPS4rank/position
RADWIMPS is a rock band that captivates many listeners with their grand soundscapes.
Among their works, the one I’d recommend for emotional reels and stories is a piece created for a certain feature-length animated film.
It sings, with heart-wrenching melodies, of the fleeting brilliance of moments spent with a loved one within limited time, and of the poignant longing to reunite even when apart.
This song was included on the album “Your Name.” released in August 2016, and drew major attention as the track that colors the film’s climactic scenes.
Its dramatic progression—from a quiet piano motif to a sweeping full-band sound—makes it perfect for videos compiling memories with someone special, so be sure to check it out.

A four-piece rock band, RADWIMPS has earned popularity for its gentle yet impactful vocals and a wide musical range that spans from straightforward songs to intricate arrangements.
This track, included on their major-label fifth album “X to O to Tsumi to” (Kakeru to Maru to Tsumi to), stands out for its cleverly rhymed, unforgettable lyrics and the comfort of its laid-back beat.
The message to a cherished presence connected by the heart seems to give voice to feelings and emotions that don’t quite fit the labels many people try to define—like “friendship” or “youth.” Overflowing with sentiments that can’t be expressed in cliché words, it’s a number you’ll want to listen to on graduation day while asking yourself what truly matters.
I miss youRADWIMPS6rank/position
A gem of a ballad, imbued with a pure wish for a loved one who’s been lost—impossible to listen to without tears.
It appears as the final track on rock band RADWIMPS’ album “2+0+2+1+3+1+1= 10 years 10 songs,” released in March 2021, marking ten years since the Great East Japan Earthquake.
The album is filled with messages from the band, who have kept the affected regions close to their hearts for many years, and its quiet soundscape of piano and rich strings sinks deeply into the soul.
For those who carry the ache of wanting to see someone they can’t, or who seek solace in their sorrow, this is the piece to hear.
Its warm afterglow, beyond words, gently envelops the heart.

A heartwarming song that accompanies the season of fresh greenery.
Released by RADWIMPS in March 2005, the track was written and composed by Yojiro Noda.
Its lyrics, interweaving gentleness, parting, and hope for new beginnings, leave a lasting impression.
The warm vocals and melody gently embrace the listener’s heart.
Its refreshing tone evokes the arrival of spring and is part of its charm.
It’s a song you’ll want to hear in various spring moments—graduations, school admissions, the start of a new life.
Surely, it will stay close to your heart and give you the courage to look ahead.
