Grand Escape (Movie Edit)

It’s a grand and beautiful song that makes you want to soar into the sky.

Created by the rock band RADWIMPS and sung by vocalist Toko Miura, it was produced as the theme song for Makoto Shinkai’s animated film “Weathering With You” and included on the album “Weathering With You,” released in July 2019.

The lyrics express a strong resolve to break free from the stifling feeling of everyday life and carve out a future together with someone precious.

From its quiet beginning to a chorus that bursts open like a release, the song grips the listener’s heart and doesn’t let go.

If you listen while gazing up at the vast sky, you’ll surely feel courage welling up inside.

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.

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 – Hitsu Zetsu / Inexpressible [Official Music Video]

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.

Even among the collection that includes the theme song for the NHK morning drama series “Anpan,” this piece stands out for its dramatic progression that deeply moves the listener.

On nights when you’re carrying emotions that defy words, why not listen quietly while facing yourself?

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.
