RADWIMPS – PAPARAZZI ~*This story is fiction*~ [Official Music Video]

This song delivers a sharp critique of media ethics and paparazzi culture.

It’s a track for those who want to think deeply about the role of the media.

RADWIMPS If ‘Limited to 10,000 Copies’ (High-Quality Audio) 1

“What If” sung by RADWIMPS.

The lyrics include a scene where the narrator confesses to the person they have feelings for, and the faint hope that the other person might like them too is captured in the three characters of the title, ‘What If’ (moshimo).

In the latter half of the song, the protagonist—‘I’—expresses a desire to return to the time before confessing, when they were simply in love in a pure, unspoken way.

Considering the sorrow and pain of their relationship being damaged by revealing their feelings, you can acutely sense the lingering thought that perhaps it would have been better if they had remained mutually in love without saying it—or even stayed in unrequited love.
