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?

RADWIMPS – A Theory of Heart [Official Music Video]

A signature ballad by RADWIMPS that gently heals hidden feelings and a lonely soul.

Released in July 2006, it reached No.
