PicnicRADWIMPS64rank/position

Picnic

The 17th single released in 2015.

It served as the theme song for the film “Pieta in the Toilet,” starring the band’s frontman, Yojiro Noda.

Director Daishi Matsunaga personally requested the song, and Yojiro Noda wrote this ballad specifically for the film.

A masterpiece that was not included on the 8th album, “Ningen Kaika.”

RADWIMPS – Scream [Official Music Video]

The highly sensational commercial featuring footage of people shouting at the camera—the Gatsby Paper Series “Sakebe (Shout)” version—uses a song by RADWIMPS.

It’s a refreshing, invigorating track that perfectly matches the ad’s theme of switching your mood with a clean break, and some might even think it was made specifically for this commercial! However, the song actually dates back 11 years before the ad—it was included on the 2009 album “Altcolony no Teiri.” Rock fans who had been listening since back then were likely thrilled to hear this track used in the commercial.

Grand EscapeRADWIMPS feat. Miura Tōko66rank/position

[Wotagei] Performed “Grand Escape” from the film Weathering With You / RADWIMPS feat. Toko Miura in front of about 200 spectators!

Grand Escape, which became a hit as the theme song for Makoto Shinkai’s animated film Weathering with You.

Although the song has a refreshing feel, it flows gently and softly up to the chorus, and then the tempo picks up a bit and really showcases itself in the chorus, making it a beginner-friendly track to perform.

Up to the chorus, focus on executing each movement carefully and deliberately.

Combined with the song’s atmosphere, it’s sure to become a fantastical wotagei performance.

O & O

A gem of a ballad that portrays the ache of unrequited love.

While accepting the breakup, the protagonist’s complex feelings—and a quiet hope to meet again—are expressed with care.

Released in 2006, this song is included on RADWIMPS’s eighth album, “Ningen Kaika” (Human Bloom).

Its gentle melody and Yojiro Noda’s nuanced vocals leave a strong impression, and the tune is easy to sing at karaoke.

The lyrics brim with tender warmth that resonates with anyone who has experienced love.

It’s a recommended track for looking back on memories with someone special or soothing the pain of a broken heart.

RADWIMPS – Setsuna Rensa [Official Music Video]

Released in November 2006 as RADWIMPS’ fifth major-label single.

It’s quite an interesting track: it shifts from a slightly heavy arrangement and a rapid-fire English rap at the very beginning to a chorus with a slow, floating melody centered on falsetto.

I think conveying that airy, floating vocal feel is really difficult! I don’t know whether it was the band’s idea or the producer’s direction, but this song’s development—which in a sense feels cheeky—ends up being so refreshing to listen to! (lol)

RADWIMPS – Empty Window

This is a RADWIMPS song created based on words submitted by high school students in Fukushima who faced school closures after the Great East Japan Earthquake.

Even seven years after the disaster, the lingering sense of loss and the parting with cherished everyday life are woven together with a quiet soundscape.

Their delicate expression, akin to a prayer, will resonate deep within your heart.

Released in April 2018, the song was later included on the album “2+0+2+1+3+1+1 = 10 years 10 songs,” released in March 2021.

With a background of being voluntarily shared as an effort to prevent memories from fading, this work gently stands beside those who have lost beloved people or places and continue living with unhealed wounds.

RADWIMPS – MAKAFUKA [Official Music Video]

This song is included on RADWIMPS’ eighth major-label album, FOREVER DAZE, which was released on November 23, 2021.

It also serves as the theme song for the smartphone game app Gran Saga.

It’s a beautiful piece, arranged in a highly symphonic style and finished as a grand ballad.

The melody is quite challenging to sing, so as a practice piece it might be more suitable for advanced learners.

However, there’s a lot you can learn from it, such as singing high notes without forcing your voice and keeping time within a slow-tempo track.

When you practice, focus on clearly enunciating every word of the lyrics and being mindful of the rests in the melody.

You’ll need a strong voice that can stand up to the grand backing track, but be careful not to let your voice or singing become unruly.

In some parts of the song, the vocal track seems to have effects that evoke a Vocaloid-like quality—please don’t try to imitate that.
