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?

Included on their 16th single released in October 2013, it captured the hearts of many listeners.
The lyrics, written by vocalist Yojiro Noda, are extremely raw and include provocative expressions, which may not be for everyone.
However, that rawness conveys genuine emotion, making it a profoundly deep track.
It’s recommended for those dealing with complex romantic feelings or music fans seeking a powerful, lasting impression.

My Past Life, Many Lifetimes AgoRADWIMPS4rank/position
A song by RADWIMPS that drew major attention in 2016 as the theme for Makoto Shinkai’s animated film “Your Name.” It portrays a grand love story—finding a precious someone even if it means transcending time and space—set to a driving rock sound.
In addition to the version produced for the film’s soundtrack, an alternative version restructured within the band’s own context is included on the album “Ningen Kaika.” The fusion of visuals and music has been highly acclaimed, earning the Best Music Award at the 40th Japan Academy Film Prize.
The piece has also been frequently performed in brass band arrangements in the Alps stands at Koshien.

A RADWIMPS song that delicately and realistically portrays the pain of love, filled with the frustration of an ambiguous sense of distance.
The lyrics trace the emotional ups and downs caused by the other person’s elusive attitude, and yet the irresistible pull you feel, with Yojiro Noda’s woven words and the piano’s melody resonating beautifully to tighten your chest.
Released in December 2018 on their seventh major album, ANTI ANTI GENERATION, this track was chosen as the theme song for ABEMA’s dating reality show Who Is the Wolf?.
The music video featuring Nana Komatsu and Fuju Kamio also became a major talking point.
It’s a bittersweet yet warm love song that makes you want to sink quietly into it on nights troubled by love.
Is there still anything that love can do?RADWIMPS6rank/position
RADWIMPS’s “Is There Still Anything That Love Can Do?” was released on July 19, 2019 as the theme song for the film Weathering with You.
Many of you are probably familiar with it.
The tempo is relaxed and the melody line is easy to follow.
If you sing carefully, one phrase at a time, you won’t fall out of rhythm, making it easy to match the pitch bar.
The overall vocal range is C#3–F#4.
It’s a bit on the high side, but since it’s a gentle song, try using falsetto to create a soft atmosphere.
Aim to resonate in your head for both low and high notes, as if the sound is coming from the top of your head.
Focusing on head resonance naturally lifts your facial muscles, and keeping them raised makes it easier to stay on pitch.
Around the chorus, adding an accent to the opening notes will help your voice project and make it feel great to sing!
Ms. SeptemberRADWIMPS7rank/position
For beginners who want to try a RADWIMPS song, “September-san” is highly recommended.
It has a relatively slow tempo and mostly simple beats, making it easy to tackle.
However, there are two major points to watch out for.
The first is to memorize the song’s structure.
The beats themselves are simple, but similar-sounding phrases switch frequently—intro, verse A, verse B, interlude, and so on.
There are also several breaks, so make sure you know exactly what to play, how, and when.
The second point is the tom fill that appears near the end of the track.
After a repeated phrase with crash cymbals and toms, it develops into a pattern that brings in the bass drum and snare as well.
It’s not just that the sticking is a bit tricky—you may also find it hard to make it sound “cool.” Keep practicing repeatedly until you really make the phrase your own.
SparkleRADWIMPS8rank/position
Dramatically structured to unfold from a gentle solo piano into a gradually grander full-band ensemble, this piece is a moving number that portrays a protagonist striving to live within the constraints of fate and time, while expressing unwavering devotion to a loved one.
Included on the album “Your Name.” released in August 2016, it was used in key scenes of the film “Your Name.” that became a social phenomenon.
With Yojiro Noda’s tender yet powerful vocals resonating in the heart, this song is perfect for spending a quiet night thinking of someone dear—so be sure to immerse yourself in the lyrics as you listen.
Is that okay?RADWIMPS9rank/position
This RADWIMPS track sets disarmingly straightforward expressions of love—and the jittery feeling that comes from being “too happy”—to a buoyant rhythm.
It’s one of the band’s signature songs, turning live venues into a sea of handclaps and singalongs.
The lyric asking “Is it okay to be this happy?” perfectly captures the joy and gratitude of meeting someone precious.
Though included on the December 2006 album RADWIMPS 4 ~Okazu no Gohan~, it also carries a fiery backstory: the original MV shoot was grueling due to rain and cold, prompting a “revenge” reshoot about ten years later in 2017.
It’s a song that makes you want to say “thank you” to the irreplaceable people in your life—be it a partner, family, or best friend.
Like a warm meal, it’s a classic that soaks into the heart.

This commercial is themed “Lipovitan Days,” depicting people who push themselves to go one step further with Lipovitan D.
It showcases various challenges and efforts in work, sports, events, and more, and as everyone’s expressions turn into smiles, it conveys a positive feeling toward the future.
The song that further amplifies the upbeat mood portrayed in the footage is RADWIMPS’ “Kimi to Hitsuji to Ao.” Driven by a light, rhythmic band sound, the track unfolds with increasingly brilliant tones toward the chorus, evoking a bright atmosphere.
The words seem to bounce along with the rhythm, making it a song that radiates a sense of fun.
