RADWIMPS – A Critical Hit [Official Live Video from “RADWIMPS GRAND PRIX 2014 Live Broadcast”]

This is a powerful RADWIMPS track that, while confronting conflicts like compromise and regret, appeals to the importance of following one’s true feelings.

From the perspective of a protagonist wavering over life choices, it portrays the universal theme of choosing stability or taking on a challenge, brimming with a message that resonates deeply.

Included on the album “X to O to Tsumi to,” it was released in December 2013.

With a grand narrative that uses a baseball game as a metaphor to depict the passion for self-realization, this song is a perfect fit for scenes that encourage people pursuing their dreams through calligraphy.

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.

RADWIMPS – Catharsist [Official Music Video]

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.

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

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

Included on the album “ANTI ANTI GENERATION,” released in December 2018, it drew attention for its strong social message.

The story unfolds from three perspectives—a child, a father, and Yojiro Noda of RADWIMPS—highlighting the problems inherent in paparazzi behavior.

Confronting contemporary issues such as dependence on the media and violations of others’ privacy, the work sharply questions today’s society.

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.
