RADWIMPS – Long-Distance Love from BACK TO THE LIVE HOUSE TOUR 2023 [Audio]

This is a long-distance love song from a male perspective.

RADWIMPS’s “Enren” (Long-Distance Love) is a song that unfolds through the exchange of emails between a couple.

The provocative back-and-forth that stirs each other’s jealousy is so realistic and entertaining.

The distance that should have been an obstacle for the two eventually becomes something that makes them feel their love for each other, nurturing a stronger bond.

It’s a song that portrays long-distance relationships in a positive light.

The days are painful with the longing to meet and the aching sadness, but perhaps that’s only because they care about each other that much.

RADWIMPS – I Feel Like I’m About to Cry feat. Aimyon [Official Music Video]

When your love doesn’t come true, or when the person you’re dating breaks up with you, the stronger your feelings are, the harder it is to stop the tears.

In those moments of heartbreak, songs that gently stay by your side resonate more than songs that try to cheer you up.

“I Feel Like I’m About to Cry” is a song that slowly loosens and softens a broken heart like that.

RADWIMPS, who continue to captivate countless listeners with their unique worldview.

Featured on their 2009 masterpiece Altcolony no Teiri, this song is especially striking for its structure, opening with a grand, gospel-like chorus.

Despite its six-and-a-half-minute length, the dramatic arc—from a quiet, storytelling tone to a chorus that erupts with emotion—never fails to stir the heart with each listen.

Lyrics by Yojiro Noda that affirm fate and express love for family—like “Oton to Okan” (Dad and Mom)—are surely etched deeply into the hearts of many who spent their youth with this music.

It’s a number that creates moving, unifying moments across entire venues at live shows, so give it a listen on a night when you want to forget the bustle of daily life and immerse yourself in music.

RADWIMPS – A Small Beginning [Audio]

An instrumental piece notable for its delicate piano timbre.

It’s included on the album “Tontei 10-nen ~Original Soundtrack~,” which drew attention as the first time RADWIMPS handled the music for a live-action film in its entirety.

Released in March 2022 to coincide with the film’s premiere, this work condenses the subtle emotions that set the story in motion into roughly one minute.

With no lyrics, it won’t interfere with the atmosphere of the photos or videos you post, making it an appealing choice for creating a refined mood.

RADWIMPS – Suzume feat. Toaka [Official Lyric Video]

This is a song by RADWIMPS featuring female singer Tamaaki, who was discovered by Yojiro Noda at an audition.

From the opening hum, her delicate and mystical voice instantly grips your heart.

Released in September 2022 as the theme song for the film Suzume, the work drew major attention as the third collaboration with director Makoto Shinkai.

Alongside the soundtrack co-composed with film composer Kazuma Jinnouchi, it won the 46th Japan Academy Prize for Best Music.

The soundscape, depicting the strength to look forward while carrying a sense of loss, has a powerful impact—even when heard briefly in a short video, it can be deeply moving.

It’s a wonderful song to listen to when you want to shed tears alone on a quiet night or when you’re seeking emotional cleansing.
