RADWIMPS – Aitai

A song by RADWIMPS released on March 11, 2021, marking ten years since the Great East Japan Earthquake.

It deeply portrays the feelings of those who lost loved ones in the disaster.

The phrase “I want to see you” is repeated many times, powerfully conveying that earnest longing.

This work is part of the earthquake-related songs RADWIMPS have released every year on March 11, created with deep empathy and respect for the victims and their families.

Included on the concept album “2+0+2+1+3+1+1 = 10 years 10 songs,” it resonates with many as a message to keep the memory of the disaster from fading.

It’s a song we hope those who have experienced the loss of someone dear will listen to.

Hide and seek

Through the childhood game everyone once played—hide-and-seek—this RADWIMPS song gently depicts parting from someone dear.

The quiet tones of piano and strings resonate as if to stay close to the hearts of those who have lost a loved one.

It carefully expresses the bewilderment and sense of loss toward someone who suddenly disappeared, the guilt of forgetting, and the struggle between that and the reality of having to move forward.

Written as the theme song for the NHK General drama special “Anata no Soba de Ashita ga Warau,” broadcast on March 6, 2021, marking ten years since the Great East Japan Earthquake, it was included on the album “2+0+2+1+3+1+1 = 10 years 10 songs.” This piece will deeply resonate not only with those who lost loved ones in the disaster, but with anyone who has experienced parting from someone important in any form.

RADWIMPS – Aloof [Official Music Video]

Sokkenai depicts a relationship between a man and a woman who are more than friends but not quite lovers.

It’s a track included on the rock band RADWIMPS’ 2018 album ANTI ANTI GENERATION.

Many listeners may relate to the lyrics about being unable to be honest precisely because you like someone, and lacking the courage to confess your feelings.

You can really feel the nervous excitement of two people before they start dating.

Set to a slow-paced melody, the song conjures images of a man and a woman gradually closing the distance between them.

A song that fuses a grand orchestral sound with rock, it heightens the climax of Makoto Shinkai’s animated film Weathering With You.

Through a collaboration between RADWIMPS and Toko Miura, this track beautifully captures the film’s worldview.
