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?

It’s a song that lays bare intense hatred, showcasing the wide range of RADWIMPS’ musicality.
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.

It’s a warm number that feels like it cheers you on as you set off on a journey to find yourself and your future.
The beautiful piano melodies and band sound crafted by RADWIMPS, layered with a grand choral arrangement by students, are truly moving.
The theme of finding your own answers at your own pace—rather than following a path set by others—perfectly suits those living through their youth.
Sparked by a performance at “18-sai-sai,” an event created together with 18-year-olds, this work was released as a CD in February 2024.
It gently gives a push to those who, while carrying bonds with friends and their own struggles, are trying to move forward.
It’s a perfect choice for moments when the whole school comes together, like at cultural festivals and school festivals!
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.

A gem of a ballad by RADWIMPS, whose message of love and sweeping melody stir the heart.
It drew major attention as the theme song for director Makoto Shinkai’s animated film Weathering With You, released in July 2019, and was included on the album Weathering With You released the same month.
Deeply linked to the film’s worldview, it embraces the universal theme of what we can do for the ones we hold dear.
The vocals, blending gentleness with strength, are also captivating.
Belt this one out at karaoke, and a warm sense of hope is sure to well up from deep within your chest!
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.
