RADWIMPS – Tin (Buriki)

Released on March 11, 2013—the second anniversary of the Great East Japan Earthquake—this is RADWIMPS’ song in support of recovery.

It’s a slow-tempo ballad that begins with a quiet piano arpeggio, deliberately holding back any flashy rock sound.

The arrangement is striking in how it lets each word and Yojiro Noda’s vocals sink deeply into the heart.

Rather than offering a straightforward “Let’s do our best” kind of encouragement, the lyrics consistently stand beside the weight of what was lost and the wounds that have yet to heal.

This work is the second installment in the band’s “3.11 Series,” created in remembrance of the disaster, and in 2021 it was included on the album 2+0+2+1+3+1+1=10 years 10 songs.

Proceeds have been donated to support natural disaster relief efforts through organizations such as the Japanese Red Cross Society.

The song was also used as the ending theme for Daisuke Shimada’s short film Tadaima.

Even for those who did not experience the disaster firsthand, it offers a chance to reflect on one’s own way of engaging with it.

HINOMARURADWIMPS79rank/position

HINOMARU – RADWIMPS (cover)

The B-side track “HINOMARU” from RADWIMPS’ single “Catharsist” is a message song about the national flag and Japan.

Lyrics such as “Mikuni no Mitama” (the spirit of our nation) and “the land where the sun rises” sparked controversy for evoking the Greater East Asia War.

It seems the song, created out of love for Japan, ended up being misconstrued.

Gimme GimmickRADWIMPS80rank/position

Gimigimic

The track “Gimi Gimmick,” included on “RADWIMPS 4: Okazu no Gohan,” is a quintessential gem of the late 2000s Japanese rock scene, marked by a strikingly arresting guitar riff in the intro.

Despite being a short song of about two and a half minutes, its overall technically intricate ensemble really stands out.

By Noda’s standards, the vocals aren’t particularly fast, and the range is fairly average and not especially wide, so try singing it while locking into its rhythmic groove.

RADWIMPS – World End Girlfriend [Official Music Video]

RADWIMPS have reached a major milestone: the 20th anniversary of their major-label debut.

The music video, directed by filmmaker Takeshi Maruyama, has also been released, and its foreign landscapes and expressions of love enrich the song’s world.

Although it has no tie-in, this work—released in October 2025—is a key track that anchors the album.

Give it a careful listen while thinking of someone special.

RADWIMPS – Mobile Phone [Official Music Video] High Quality

The song “Cell Phone,” born from letters sent to the popular radio program SCHOOL OF LOCK!, is known as one of RADWIMPS’ quintessential youth anthems, wrapped in a delicate, wistful atmosphere throughout.

While the vocal line is somewhat high at points, the overall range is set quite narrow, with almost no sudden leaps in pitch.

If you carefully choose the right key for your voice, you should be able to aim for a high score at karaoke.
