RADWIMPS – Aitai

Even while carrying a sense of loss and profound sorrow, this is a song that tightens your chest with the pure emotion it ultimately reaches.

Amid the gentle sound woven by strings and piano, words that seem to quietly spill out tug at your tear ducts.

This track is included at the end of RADWIMPS’ concept album “2+0+2+1+3+1+1 = 10 years 10 songs,” released in March 2021, exactly ten years after the Great East Japan Earthquake.

It is a culmination of their decade-long commitment to keeping the affected areas in their thoughts.

Listen to it when you strongly wish to meet someone dear once more, or on nights when you’re enveloped by a loneliness with nowhere to go.

The gentle openness of this piece is sure to be by your side and comfort your heart.

Theory of the Mindful HeartRADWIMPS12rank/position

RADWIMPS – A Theory of Heart [Official Music Video]

This is the song used in the Universal Music “#Let’s Listen to Playlists” campaign commercial featuring Ren Nagase and Nanoka Hara.

It was selected as one of the representative love songs of the Heisei era; over a gradually intensifying sound, it expresses a range of emotions related to love.

It also conveys how, precisely because love is so strong, those feelings can sometimes act like a poison, affecting the heart and body.

Alongside great affection, sorrow is also sung—capturing, as it is, the raw state of emotions that can’t be neatly gathered into one.

RADWIMPS – It's All Right [Official Music Video]

A heart-stirring ballad by RADWIMPS, distinguished by a beautiful melody woven from delicate piano and strings.

It plays a crucial role in director Makoto Shinkai’s smash-hit animated film Weathering With You.

The album Weathering With You complete version, released in November 2019, includes a full-length version that differs from the one used in the film.

The earnest lyrics, which touch on the core of the story, and Yojiro Noda’s warm yet powerful vocals are truly moving.

Despite anxiety and doubt, the song conveys a resolve to face forward for the sake of someone important.

It’s perfect for those nights when your heart feels a little tired or when you wish to be someone’s support—why not listen to it alone, slowly and attentively? You’re sure to experience a feeling of being gently embraced.

Itoshi (Kanashi) - RADWIMPS

A song that makes you want to say, “As expected of RADWIMPS.” Even though it’s a love song, it feels like it’s speaking on a much deeper level, letting you sense Yojiro Noda’s genius.

Naturally, the band is superb as well—the beautifully flavored guitar and the rock-solid rhythm section are must-checks.

RADWIMPS – Leap Day Person [Official Music Video]

Written for the album “The Last 10 Years ~Original Soundtrack~,” released in March 2022, this piece is a grand ballad woven from piano and orchestral arrangements.

While it grapples with the heavy theme of death, its lyrics beautifully portray the miracle of meeting a loved one and the preciousness of life, moving listeners to the core.

Created as the theme song for the film “The Last 10 Years,” starring Nana Komatsu and Kentaro Sakaguchi, it also reflects deep immersion in the work—Yojiro Noda reportedly read the script nearly a hundred times before completing it.

It’s perfect not only for lingering in the film’s afterglow but also for those moments when you want to reaffirm the irreplaceable tenderness of everyday life; take your time and listen closely.

Critical HitRADWIMPS16rank/position

RADWIMPS – A Masterstroke [Official Music Video]

Many of you have probably felt your heart race watching a music video set in a baseball stadium.

It’s a high-energy track packed with fiery determination, aiming to turn the tide from a do-or-die pinch.

Included on RADWIMPS’s classic December 2013 release “X to O to Tsumi to” (×と○と罪と), this song unites the entire venue at live shows.

Although it wasn’t tied to any specific campaign, it remains a steadfast favorite among fans.

April often brings new environments and lives, and with the excitement can come just as much pressure.

In those moments, listen to this song that gives you the courage to hang on at the last second.

When you feel like you’re about to lose to yourself, it’ll give you the energy to stand up again.

Blue SpringRADWIMPS17rank/position

Radwimps – Aoi Haru (Blue Spring)

This song, included on RADWIMPS’ first album “RADWIMPS” released in 2003, is a masterpiece that poignantly sings of the fleeting moments of youth.

Expressing how the time spent with precious people during our youth is irreplaceable, it’s a perfect choice for a scene where you leave the room together with friends.

If you’re stepping out with someone who loves rock bands or is a fan of RADWIMPS, this track comes highly recommended.

Enren

The fan-favorite song “Enren” is, as the title suggests, themed around a long-distance relationship, but apparently the lyrics are actually fictional for Noda, who wrote them.

It’s included on the album “RADWIMPS 4 ~Okazu no Gohan~,” and its arrangement is rich in detail: it shifts keys from a three-beat A verse into a chorus where a technical guitar sound explodes—an incredibly cool development—and the slap-driven bass solo is truly thrilling.

While the melody itself is characteristically Noda, it’s best to sing with an awareness not to get pulled too much by the busy sound.

Reunion

A song from RADWIMPS’ album “X to O to Tsumi to” that straightforwardly tells you, “I don’t need a definition of the word ‘friend’—I’m just happy to be with you.” Released in December 2013, the album reached No.

2 on the Oricon weekly chart, and this track—pre-released in November 2013—is a fan favorite.

It portrays the miracle of a chance encounter and a bond that transcends logic, along with a strong sentiment that says, even if this isn’t called friendship, that’s fine.

It encourages you to believe that the strongest relationships are those that connect heart to heart without titles or formal promises.

If you hope to laugh together like this with people you meet in a new environment, definitely give this song a listen.

Created to coincide with a major sporting festival, this song vividly captures physical sensations like sweat and tears.

Released in June 2018 as the band’s 22nd single, it became widely known as the theme for Fuji TV’s soccer broadcasts.

The exhilarating, fast-paced beat and Yojiro Noda’s signature wordplay in the rap section build into a chorus that feels like the world suddenly opens up—truly breathtaking.

The lyrics convey a sense of emotional catharsis that goes beyond simple wins and losses, encouraging anyone who takes on a challenge, not just athletes.

Later included on the album ANTI ANTI GENERATION, the track is also highly regarded as a visual work, with its music video winning at the SPACE SHOWER MUSIC AWARDS 2019.

Listen to it before a make-or-break moment, and it’s sure to ignite your fighting spirit.
