RADWIMPS – Is There Still Anything That Love Can Do? [Official Music Video]

It’s a grand piece that questions the possibilities of love and hope for the future.

Even in the face of a global crisis, it portrays the strength to believe in the bonds with loved ones and the power of love.

Created by RADWIMPS in July 2019, this work was produced as the theme song for director Makoto Shinkai’s film Weathering With You.

In resonance with the film’s story, the protagonist’s determination to keep moving forward under harsh circumstances is powerfully expressed through a fusion of orchestral and rock sounds.

It’s a song that resonates in moments when you feel on the verge of losing hope or when you want to sense the bonds with those you cherish.

Nandemonaiya (Movie Version)

This song, which graces the ending of the film “Your Name.”, brought many to tears as it plays during the story’s climax.

Included on the soundtrack album “Your Name.” released in August 2016, it is crafted as a lyrical ballad centered on piano and strings.

The lyrics, in which words left unsaid and feelings that never reached their destination intersect with the bittersweet resolve and hope to keep moving forward, resonate deeply as they overlap with the story of two people separated from one another.

Winning Soundtrack Album of the Year at the 31st Japan Gold Disc Awards, this piece offers a gentle warmth that stays by your side when you’re struggling with work or relationships, or when you’ve gone through a parting with someone important.

RADWIMPS – Leap Day Person [Official Music Video]

The theme song for the film “In This Corner of the Limited Time” (Yomei 10-nen), which sings of an irreplaceable love story woven within a finite span of time.

Created by RADWIMPS in March 2022, the piece was composed by Yojiro Noda after carefully reading the script and stepping into the characters’ perspectives.

The lyrics, which delicately depict the miracle of meeting someone so dear you’d wish to share your very life with them, as well as the pain of those left behind, are deeply moving.

Beginning with a piano melody and gradually expanding into a full orchestra, the arrangement superbly conveys the swell of emotion.

It’s a song to listen to when you want to savor the time with someone precious, or to feel the profound value of the person you love.

RADWIMPS – The 25th Chromosome [Official Music Video]

Speaking of RADWIMPS, many people strongly associate them with their huge hit “Zenzenzense,” the theme song of Your Name.

However, their debut song “Nijūgokome no Senshokutai” (The 25th Chromosome) features a development that feels more quintessentially RADWIMPS, and its lyrics—pleasantly unsettling in a good way, with a stalker-like vibe—are excellent.

It’s a perfect entry point for those who discovered RADWIMPS through “Zenzenzense.”

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 – It's All Right [Official Music Video]

The theme song of the 2019 animated film Weathering with You.

As with the 2016 blockbuster Your Name., it was created by RADWIMPS.

While this song doesn’t dwell on sadness or heartbreak, it’s a tearjerker for the gentle, pure feelings of caring for someone dear.

The lyrics—hoping that one’s very existence can be a safe place for a loved one—combine with the sweeping melody to strike straight at the heart.

It’s a song that, when you listen to it in tough times, somehow makes you feel as if you yourself have been saved.

RADWIMPS If ‘Limited to 10,000 Copies’ (High-Quality Audio) 1

It’s a very sweet-and-sour coming-of-age heartbreak song.

Even while realizing deep down it won’t come true, you still want to convey your feelings.

No matter how rational a person is, maybe a serious love is something that makes the brakes stop working.

Doesn’t it bring back memories of falling headlong in love when you were young, without any games or strategizing?
