G Koui

“I just haven’t gotten serious yet” — this song sharply portrays a self who hides behind that excuse and can’t take action.

It’s a track by RADWIMPS, included on their 2011 album Zettai Zetsumei.

The title “G” evokes “masturbation,” but what’s depicted is a young person who keeps consoling themselves for failing to show their true ability.

The rapid-fire rap lyrics capture a complex mindset where bravado and self-loathing intertwine.

Because the drums were sped up in production, the song remained absent from live sets for a long time, but it was finally performed for the first time on their 2023 tour.

It’s bound to pierce the hearts of those who keep making excuses to themselves and those struggling with the gap between reality and their ideals.

Hide and seek

Through the childhood game everyone once played—hide-and-seek—this RADWIMPS song gently depicts parting from someone dear.

The quiet tones of piano and strings resonate as if to stay close to the hearts of those who have lost a loved one.

It carefully expresses the bewilderment and sense of loss toward someone who suddenly disappeared, the guilt of forgetting, and the struggle between that and the reality of having to move forward.

Written as the theme song for the NHK General drama special “Anata no Soba de Ashita ga Warau,” broadcast on March 6, 2021, marking ten years since the Great East Japan Earthquake, it was included on the album “2+0+2+1+3+1+1 = 10 years 10 songs.” This piece will deeply resonate not only with those who lost loved ones in the disaster, but with anyone who has experienced parting from someone important in any form.

Featured on the album “Anyu,” which marks the artist’s 20th career anniversary, this track explores inexpressible feelings, depicting life’s pain and memories with a lyrical band sound.

In the music video released in October 2025, actress Suzu Hirose teamed up with film director Michihito Fujii to craft a richly textured visual world reminiscent of a short film.

RADWIMPS – Playing Human [Official Music Video]

This is RADWIMPS’ tenth digital-only single, written as the theme song for the drama “Ishiko to Haneo: Sonna Koto de Uttaemasu?” When singing this track at karaoke, the key point is likely how you create a contrast between the somewhat mechanical delivery in the non-chorus sections and the more organic singing in the chorus.

In fact, especially in the A-melody parts, there’s processing that seems to intentionally apply strong pitch-correction effects.

It might even be fun to lean into that inorganic feel and mimic it deliberately.

RADWIMPS – The 25th Chromosome [Official Music Video]

“The 25th Chromosome,” released in November 2005, is the single that marked RADWIMPS’ memorable major-label debut.

The songs performed by the members, who had just turned 20 at the time, are strikingly youthful and vulnerable, and you can already sense the budding presence of Western musical influences in the production.

The fast-paced melody packed with Noda’s distinctive wordplay also feels quintessentially “them,” but fans of the band are likely accustomed to this kind of phrasing and shouldn’t find it difficult to sing at karaoke.

While the pitch sits slightly on the higher side, it stays within a consistent range, so if you’re not comfortable with high notes, adjusting the key should make it perfectly manageable.

Featured on their 2009 masterpiece Altcolony no Teiri, this song is especially striking for its structure, opening with a grand, gospel-like chorus.

Despite its six-and-a-half-minute length, the dramatic arc—from a quiet, storytelling tone to a chorus that erupts with emotion—never fails to stir the heart with each listen.

Lyrics by Yojiro Noda that affirm fate and express love for family—like “Oton to Okan” (Dad and Mom)—are surely etched deeply into the hearts of many who spent their youth with this music.

It’s a number that creates moving, unifying moments across entire venues at live shows, so give it a listen on a night when you want to forget the bustle of daily life and immerse yourself in music.

Nandemonaiya (Movie Version)

Nandemonaiya, a song by the rock band RADWIMPS and the theme for the 2016 film Your Name, has a mysterious power to make you feel as if you’ve been drawn into the movie the moment vocalist Yojiro Noda begins to sing.

While the arrangement is grand and sweeping, the lyrics themselves are down-to-earth, with parts that many of us can relate to in our daily lives.

In the commercial for Tanrei Green Label, “GREEN JUKEBOX: Toki,” the song is performed as a stripped-down solo, allowing listeners to immerse themselves even more deeply in the world of the lyrics.
